Metals explorer, Advance Metals Limited announced the Company has completed a JORC Technical report at Garnet Creek Copper Project. The Garnet Creek Project has a JORC Compliant Exploration Target of 2.76Mt - 6.44Mt @ 0.5%-1.5% Cu, 0.15-0.5 g/t Au, 0.31-0.52 Oz/t Ag. Readers are advised that the potential quantity and grade of the Garnet Creek Copper Project are conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient exploration to
estimate a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The Exploration Target has been prepared and reported in accordance with the 2012 edition of the JORC code. AVM applied modern geological and exploration techniques to develop JORC Exploration Targets. The company collected and analysed large amounts of data at Garnet Creek including geochemical, aeromagnetic and radiometric data. The data collected from the field was used to establish JORC Exploration Targets and drilling targets which confirmed its prospectivity as a high- grade copper deposit. The review identified the opportunity for further mineralisation at depth within the Exploration target zones. These hold the potential to expand the exploration targets and identify mineralisation that has not been discovered previously. The company has developed an
exploration program that will include drilling, IP Surveys, Geochemical sampling and mapping. After reviewing and analysing all the data collected this summer several new exploration targets have been defined at the Garnet Creek Project: Targets A, B, C, and D. There is substantial opportunity for discovery at Target A as the site has not been disturbed by previous or significant mining activities, and it holds the largest of the copper anomalies. The geology and exploration data indicate possible carbonate rafts and tactite-related mineralisation at depth. Proximity of the exploration targets to historic mines; averages from recent rock sampling; and mineral target sizes defined by the extent of the radiometric anomalies are used to constrain the exploration target parameters. Mineralisation has been observed within tactite cutting carbonate rafts or adjacent to the rafts within the quartz diorite; late formation of the tactites and transport of these fluids along cooling joints, fractures, or other structures is a key element of their formation, as is understanding whether or not the mineralised tactites define structural corridors. Geophysical and geochemical data suggest that the mineralisation along the Blue Jacket trend may have a considerable strike to the north and west toward Tussel Ridge, with the potential for buried carbonate rafts with associated copper skarns at depth. Target A represents an opportunity to target carbonate rafts at depth and a large-scale structural feature- a potential N-S synclinal axis- along which could be the loci of intrusion and hydrothermal activity. This target is located within the quartz diorite, hosts anomalous soil and rock assays, and is coincident with a uranium radiometric geophysical anomaly. Exploration targets B, C, and D also display the same geochemical, geologic, and geophysical association.
