Brabant-McKenzie Exploration Update
The 1,050 line km VTEM Max airborne survey completed last January identified more than 30 strong EM/Mag anomalies which are currently being explored with a team of geologists using Beep Mats geophysical instruments to systematically locate individual anomalies. The first prospecting efforts were directed at the Main Lake showing which was channel sampled. The outcrop has strong anthypholite alteration and at least a 2 metre wide zone of stinger to semi-massive pyrrhotite with minor chalcopyrite throughout. The exposed sulphide zone is open on one end of the trench and it has considerable Beep Mat strike. Chalcopyrite mineralization has also been observed in boulders.
A number of other EM/Mag anomalies have been sampled since the prospecting program started in early June, with 13 sulphide bearing samples sent for assay with 4 grab and channel samples yielding up to 4.84% Zn, 52.4 g/t Ag and 2.81% Cu. Grab samples are selective by nature and unlikely to represent average grades.
