Highlights
亮點
- Inaugural drilling across the 44km x 7km basin tested two initial targets on opposite ends of the basin, with 10 of 11 holes intersecting copper mineralization, underscoring the robustness of the system (Figure 1)
- At Ellis, 8 holes tested the historic mineralized grey bed at depth and along strike with the following results as shown in Figure 2:
- ELS-23-007 intersected an extensive copper zone over a 150m by 100m area, with 25m @ 0.24% Cu and 4.05 g/t Ag, including 2.6m @ 0.87% Cu and 11.54 g/t Ag
- While the grey bed unexpectedly thinned, drilling intersection a mafic sill, a rock type differing from initial expectations, though typical in systems of this nature
- Notably, visuals confirmed 6 copper minerals across this 25m wide zone with extensive copper oxides suggesting potential at depth of sulphide accumulations
- At Whiskey located 25km east of Ellis, 3 holes showed pinching of the grey bed with narrower mineralization including:
- WHS-23-010 intersected 3.1m @ 0.96% Cu and 11.78 g/t Ag, including 0.7m @ 3.54% Cu and 46 g/t Ag
- WHS-23-011 which intersected 2.1m @ 1.20% Cu and 16.43 g/t Ag and 0.6m @ 3.22% Cu and 46 g/t Ag
- Additionally, encouraging sampling of outcrops south of drilling in the Whiskey area showed additional emerging copper trends on the eastern portion of the basin with 17 samples grading higher than 0.5% Cu and up to 2.44% Cu
- Camp was winterized prior to demobilization and a drill remains on site for a potential winter program
- 在 44 千米 x 7 千米的盆地上進行的首次鑽探測試了盆地兩端的兩個初始目標,11 個孔中有 10 個與銅礦化相交,突顯了系統的穩健性(圖 1)
- 在埃利斯,有8個洞測試了歷史悠久的礦化灰牀的深度和走向,結果如下,如圖 2 所示:
- ELS-23-007 在 150 米 x 100 米的區域內橫穿了廣闊的銅區,含有 25m @ 0.24% 的銅和 4.05 g/t 的銀,包括 2.6 米 @ 0.87% 的銅和 11.54 g/t 的銀
- 雖然灰牀出人意料地變薄,但鑽出的十字路口是魔法巖臺,這種岩石類型與最初的預期不同,儘管在這種性質的系統中很常見
- 值得注意的是,視覺效果證實,在這個 25 米寬的區域內有 6 種銅礦物,其中含有大量的氧化銅,這表明硫化物在深度有潛力
- 在位於埃利斯以東 25 公里處的 Whiskey,有 3 個洞顯示灰牀被擠壓,礦化作用較窄,包括:
- WHS-23-010 與 3.1m @ 0.96% 銅和 11.78 g/t 銀相交,包括 0.7m @ 3.54% 銅和 46 g/t Ag
- WHS-23-011 與 2.1 米 @ 1.20% 銅和 16.43 g/t 銀和 0.6m @ 3.22% 銅和 46 g/t 銀相交
- 此外,對威士忌地區鑽探以南露頭的令人鼓舞的採樣顯示,該盆地東部的銅礦出現了更多新興趨勢,有17個樣本的銅品位高於0.5%,銅品位高達2.44%
- 在復員之前,營地已做好防寒準備,目前仍在現場進行可能的冬季項目的演習
Mathew Wilson, CEO, stated, "The discovery of a big metal district requires a big metal system, which is exactly what we have at Adeline. The macro environment for copper remains very promising and even more so here at home in Canada. Our aim is to establish a copper project capable of putting Canada back on the copper map and this is just the first step. We are currently evaluating the data to identify a clear path to targeting both at Ellis and across the entirety of the 44km x 7km system. With over $4 million in the treasury, we are confident our systematic approach to targeting will result in an efficient and successful program when we return to drill at Adeline."
首席執行官馬修·威爾遜表示:“發現大型金屬區需要一個大型金屬系統,而這正是我們在艾德琳所擁有的。銅的宏觀環境仍然非常樂觀,在加拿大國內更是如此。我們的目標是建立一個能夠使加拿大重返銅業版圖的銅礦項目,這只是第一步。我們目前正在評估數據,以確定一條明確的路徑,既可以瞄準埃利斯,也可以瞄準整個44km x 7km的系統。我們擁有超過400萬美元的國庫,我們相信,當我們返回Adeline鑽探時,我們的系統目標方法將使項目高效而成功。”
Jeremy Niemi, SVP Exploration and Evaluation, commented, "The extent of the mineralization encountered in this inaugural program serves as a clear indication that there is much more to Ellis than we have seen so far - let alone across the entirety of this project. We went into this program to test a single previously developed target looking to establish the continuity of mineralized grey beds and a potential large hydrothermal breccia zone which we hoped would correlate with the IP survey conducted in the 90's. While the grey beds did not continue at Ellis and the IP did not correlate to a large breccia zone, hole 7 did establish itself as having potential to represent the top of a flow breccia. The native copper in quartz veins and rock type are similar to the zones in the Keewenawan peninsula which provided a large source of copper for the U.S. in the 1900s. The grades and style of mineralization suggest we are potentially in proximity stronger copper zone. We are focused on refining our targeting approach to zero in on large accumulations of copper sulphide mineralization both at depth and to the south at Ellis, and across the property, to increase the probability of future drilling success and targeting."
勘探與評估高級副總裁傑里米·尼米評論說:“首個項目中遇到的礦化程度清楚地表明,埃利斯所擁有的東西比我們迄今爲止所看到的要多得多,更不用說整個項目了。我們進入該項目是爲了測試先前開發的單一目標,該目標旨在確定礦化灰層的連續性和潛在的大型熱液角礫岩帶,我們希望這將與90年代進行的IP調查相關。儘管埃利斯的灰層沒有延續,IP與大型角礫岩帶不相關,但7號洞確實證明自己有可能代表流角礫岩的頂部。石英脈和岩石類型中的天然銅與基韋納萬半島的區域相似,後者在20世紀爲美國提供了大量的銅來源。礦化的等級和類型表明,我們可能處於更強的銅區。我們專注於完善我們的靶向方法,將埃利斯深處和南部以及整個物業的大量硫化銅礦化儲量歸零,以增加未來鑽探成功和瞄準目標的可能性。”
2023 Adeline Drilling Program
2023 年艾德琳鑽探計劃
The Company's 2023 Adeline drill program (Figures 1 and 2) (See Tables 1 and 2 for full results and drill hole locations) was designed to test both the extents of the mineralized grey beds at Ellis at depth and along strike as well as a potential blowout of the copper mineralization interpreted from the model of historical IP carried out on the project. In the first 3 holes it became clear that the grey bed mineralization observed on surface and in historical drill core, had disappeared and appeared to be replaced by a mafic sill. The top surface of the mafic sill was mineralized with copper oxide and native copper.
該公司的2023年Adeline鑽探計劃(圖1和2)(完整結果和鑽孔位置見表1和表2)旨在測試埃利斯礦化灰層的深度和走向沿線的範圍,以及根據該項目進行的歷史知識產權模型解釋的銅礦化潛在井噴情況。在前三個洞中,很明顯,在地表和歷史鑽芯中觀察到的灰層礦化已經消失,似乎被鎂鐵質巖臺所取代。鎂鐵質窗臺的頂部表面被氧化銅和天然銅礦化。
Copper mineralization was intersected in the tops of mafic flows in veined and brecciated rocks. This prompted the Company to adjust the angle of the last two holes at the target and approach the mineralization from a new perspective. Hole ELS-23-007 intersected a relatively wide zone of copper oxide mineralization which extended beyond fractures as observed in the initial holes. This was thought to potentially be the top of a flow breccia. Hole ELS-23-008 was an attempt to follow this mineralization to the south along the structure and towards historic conductors but deviated to the north and hit the edge of the oxide/sulfide zone, intercepting native copper in quartz veins.
銅礦化在脈狀和角礫岩中的鎂鐵質流頂部相交。這促使該公司調整了目標處最後兩個孔的角度,並從新的角度接近礦化區域。ELS-23-007 洞與相對較寬的氧化銅礦化區域相交,該區域延伸到最初的孔洞中觀察到的裂縫之外。人們認爲這可能是流角礫岩的頂部。ELS-23-008 洞試圖沿着結構向南沿着這種礦化方向移動,朝向歷史導線,但向北偏離並擊中了氧化物/硫化物帶的邊緣,攔截了石英脈中的天然銅。
Additionally, the copper zone identified in drilling was not consistent with the IP anomaly identified by Noranda from the 90's. The Company is currently carrying out physical properties on the core, especially the rocks above the copper zone, to identify potential alternative sources of the chargeability response shown in the IP survey. There is extensive hematite mineralization and this may be responsible for the large target area shown in the chargeability response.
此外,鑽探中發現的銅帶與90年代諾蘭達發現的IP異常不一致。該公司目前正在對岩心,尤其是銅區上方的岩石進行物理特性分析,以確定知識產權調查中顯示的收費響應的潛在替代來源。有大量的赤鐵礦礦化,這可能是電荷響應中顯示的目標區域較大的原因。

The final three holes of the program were drilled at the Whiskey target, approximately 25km east of the Ellis target. The drilling was designed to undercut copper mineralization within grey beds at a historical trench. Drilling showed that the grey bed appeared to pinch resulting in narrower intersections than observed in the trench. Holes WHS-23-010 and WHS-23-011 intersected 3.54% and 3.22% copper of approximately 0.6m which were haloed by lower grade mineralization of 1-2m wide.
該項目的最後三個洞是在威士忌目標處鑽的,該目標位於埃利斯目標以東約25公里處。該鑽探旨在削弱歷史海溝灰層內的銅礦化作用。鑽探表明,灰色牀似乎收縮,導致十字路口比在溝槽中觀察到的要窄。WHS-23-010 和 WHS-23-011 孔與大約 0.6 米的 3.54% 和 3.22% 的銅相交,這兩個孔由 1-2 米寬的低品位礦化作用光暈。

Whiskey Area Sampling Program
威士忌區域採樣計劃
In addition to the drilling program, the Company collected a total of 34 outcrop surface samples at the Whiskey target area (See Table 3 for full results). 17 of the samples graded higher than 0.5% copper and the range of values was between 0.002% Cu and 2.44% (See Figure 6). The samples were taken mostly to the south of the Whiskey drilling along additional emerging copper trends. In many cases the sample locations were taken along the historical IP grid and coincident with chargeability anomalies that came to surface.
除了鑽探計劃外,該公司還在威士忌目標區域共收集了34個露頭表面樣本(完整結果見表3)。其中17個樣品的銅品位高於0.5%,值範圍介於0.002%和2.44%之間(見圖6)。樣本主要採集到威士忌鑽探區以南,沿着其他新興的銅礦走勢。在許多情況下,樣本位置是沿着歷史IP網格採集的,與浮出水面的可充電性異常相吻合。

Next Steps
後續步驟
The Company is undertaking a number of exploration activities to extract further value from both recent drilling and historical data. Additional analytical work is underway to examine the role of hydrocarbons within the sedimentary rocks in triggering the accumulation of copper mineralization. Analysis of non-carbonate sources of carbon is the initial step and will be followed by a hyperspectral analysis of historical holes for the presence of hydrocarbons across the property. Hydrocarbons in the sediments would be part of a favourable copper mineralization setting and open the opportunity to scan the entire property for new target areas with satellite data. The Company anticipates undertaking an advanced hyperspectral study using shortwave infrared channels to map favourable rocks and to bring new target areas across the property forward.
該公司正在開展多項勘探活動,以從最近的鑽探和歷史數據中提取更多價值。其他分析工作正在進行中,以研究沉積岩中碳氫化合物在觸發銅礦化積累方面的作用。分析非碳酸鹽碳源是第一步,隨後將對整個物業中存在的碳氫化合物的歷史空洞進行高光譜分析。沉積物中的碳氫化合物將成爲有利的銅礦化環境的一部分,這爲使用衛星數據掃描整個物業以尋找新的目標區域提供了機會。該公司預計使用短波紅外信道進行一項先進的高光譜研究,以繪製有利岩石的地圖,並在整個物業範圍內開闢新的目標區域。
Currently, the field team is carrying out a physical property study on Sterling Metals 2023 core and historical core available in the Newfoundland and Labrador core library in Goose Bay. Measurements of magnetic susceptibility, gravity, resistivity, chargeability, and conductivity are being made on mineralized and non-mineralized drill core to aid in geophysical modeling and in designing future work programs.
目前,實地小組正在對位於古斯灣的紐芬蘭和拉布拉多核心庫中可用的斯特林金屬2023年核心和歷史核心進行物理特性研究。正在對礦化和非礦化鑽芯進行磁化率、重力、電阻率、電荷率和電導率的測量,以幫助進行地球物理建模和設計未來的工作計劃。
Additionally, interpretation of the data from a DIGHEM airborne EM survey flown in 1992 for Noranda Exploration is underway. The survey identified numerous weak and moderate conductors and Sterling is modelling the conductors, which is expected to allow the team to characterize and rank each conductor. The team will prioritize conductors along favourable regional structures, within ideal host rocks and where copper occurrences have been identified nearby. This study will lead to sites which should be visited in the next exploration campaign for groundwork in 2024.
此外,對1992年爲Noranda Exploration飛行的DIGHEM機載電磁調查的數據的解釋正在進行中。調查發現了許多弱和中等指揮家,斯特林正在對導體進行建模,預計這將使團隊能夠對每位指揮進行表徵和排名。該團隊將優先考慮沿有利的區域結構、理想的宿主岩石內以及附近已發現銅礦點的導體。這項研究將確定在2024年的下一次勘探活動中應該訪問的地點,以進行基礎工作。
About the Adeline Project, Labrador
關於拉布拉多 Adeline Project
Comprised of roughly 30,000 hectares and a 44 km strike of copper-silver-rich terrain, Adeline covers the youngest middle Mesoproterozoic volcano-sedimentary sequences, known as the Seal Lake Group. The Seal Lake Group consists of supracrustal argillaceous and arenaceous sedimentary rocks, intercalated with basalt flows and intruded by gabbro sills. The volcano-sedimentary rocks formed as a result of extensive continental sedimentation from the transition from subaerial to shallow-marine during a rift-related cycle of uplift and erosions.
Adeline 佔地約 30,000 公頃,地形長達 44 千米,富含銅銀,涵蓋了最年輕的中元古代火山沉積層,即海豹湖群。海豹湖群由地表泥質和砂質沉積岩組成,中間有玄武岩流,並被輝長岩侵入。火山沉積岩是在與裂縫相關的隆起和侵蝕循環中從海底過渡到淺海的大量大陸沉積形成的。
While sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposits are widespread, economically significant occurrences are infrequent. These deposits contribute to roughly 20 percent of global copper production and known reserves. Supergiant and giant deposits are formed in basins that experienced extended periods of fluid flow, where specific conditions facilitated the accumulation of substantial quantities of metal-rich fluid, ample reduced sulfur, and significant amounts of reductants.
儘管沉積物承載的地層狀銅礦牀非常普遍,但具有經濟意義的礦牀很少見。這些礦牀約佔全球銅產量和已知儲量的20%。超巨型和巨型沉積物形成於流體流動時間較長的盆地,那裏的特定條件促進了大量富含金屬的流體、充足的還原硫和大量還原劑的積累。
Quality Assurance/Quality Control - Sampling Procedures
質量保證/質量控制-採樣程序
All drill holes are diamond drill core with NQ diameter. Drill core is delivered by helicopter to the Sterling Metals Seal Lake secure camp and core logging site. All core is photographed, logged, and sampled by the Sterling Metals exploration team. After detailed logging and photographs are taken, the boxes to be sampled are secured to the core box lid, and flown by float plane to Goose Bay, where they are received by Sterling Metals personnel and brought to the secure core facility. Drill core was halved by sawing with a diamond saw blade and half-core samples were placed in pre-labelled clear sample bags with a unique sample ID tag, sealed with a zip tie, and then placed into rice bags sealed with security tags and securely stored until shipped by commercial transport to the ALS Geochemistry core preparation facility in Montreal, Quebec. ALS Geochemistry is an accredited laboratory certified under ISO 17025 Standard.
所有鑽孔均爲直徑爲 NQ 的金剛石鑽芯。鑽芯由直升機運送到 Sterling Metals Seal Lake 的安全營地和岩心伐木場。所有岩心均由斯特林金屬勘探團隊拍照、記錄和取樣。在進行詳細記錄和拍照後,待採樣的箱子被固定在覈心箱蓋上,然後乘水上飛機飛到古斯灣,在那裏由斯特林金屬公司的工作人員接收並帶到安全的核心設施。使用金剛石鋸片將鑽芯切成兩半,將半芯樣品放入帶有唯一樣品ID標籤的預先標記的透明樣品袋中,用拉鍊封住,然後放入用安全標籤密封的米袋中並安全存放,直到通過商業運輸運送到魁北克蒙特利爾的ALS Geochemistry岩心製備設施。ALS 地球化學是通過 ISO 17025 標準認證的認可實驗室。
For samples not containing native copper:
對於不含天然銅的樣品:
Preparation for these samples involves crushing them until 70% successfully pass through a 2mm sieve, followed by the generation of a 250-gram sub-sample split using a riffle splitter. The remaining material is further processed to achieve an 85% passing rate through a 75μm sieve. Subsequently, the samples undergo analysis using Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), which provides a comprehensive understanding of sample composition with a suite of 48 elements included in the ICP package. Sample digestion is carried out using a specialized 4-acid mixture, with a 0.4g aliquot. This method allows for the measurement of copper concentrations of up to 100,000 ppm and silver concentrations of up to 200 ppm, which would prompt overlimit analysis.
這些樣品的準備工作包括將其粉碎直至70%成功通過2mm的篩子,然後使用裂紋分離器生成250克的子樣本分割。剩餘的材料經過進一步處理,通過 75 μm 的篩子可達到 85% 的通過率。隨後,使用電感耦合等離子體-原子發射光譜法(ICP-AES)對樣品進行分析,ICP包中包含48種元素的套件可以全面了解樣品成分。樣品消化是使用特殊的4酸混合物進行的,等分量爲0.4g。這種方法允許測量高達100,000 ppm的銅濃度和高達200 ppm的銀濃度,這將促使進行超限分析。
For samples containing native copper:
對於含有天然銅的樣品:
Preparation for these samples involves crushing them until 70% successfully pass through a 2mm sieve, followed by the generation of a 1,000-gram sub-sample split using a riffle splitter. Subsequently, the entire 1,000-gram sub-sample undergoes screen metallic copper analysis. The minus fraction is then sent for ICP analysis to determine the full suite of 48-element concentrations.
這些樣品的準備工作包括將其粉碎直到 70% 成功通過 2 毫米的篩子,然後使用裂紋分離器分離 1,000 克的子樣本。隨後,對整個 1,000 克的子樣品進行篩網金屬銅分析。然後,將負分數發送給 ICP 分析,以確定整套 48 種元素的濃度。
A crushed marble blank, a certified OREAS copper standard, and a core duplicate are systematically inserted into the sample analysis process. Furthermore, an extra blank sample is included immediately after any native copper samples. Analysis of the QAQC results is performed upon receipt from the laboratory, along with analysis of ALS's internal QAQC results, including pulp and reject duplicates.
碎大理石毛坯、經認證的 OREAS 銅標準和核心副本被系統地插入到樣品分析過程中。此外,在任何原生銅樣品之後,會立即包括一個額外的空白樣品。從實驗室收到質量保證控制結果後進行分析,同時分析 ALS 的內部 QAQC 結果,包括紙漿和廢棄物副本。
