Copper Project Staked

Garnet Creek Copper Project

Highlights

  • Copper project staked in Western Idaho
  • 22 x Federal Lode Claims registered over historic mining district with favourable geology
  • Existing roads and infrastructure leading into property
  • Historic reports show assays +1.5% copper
  • Silver and gold by-products mined with copper

Pacific American Holdings Limited (the Company) is pleased to announce the registration of 22 x highly prospective Federal Lode Claims in the western region of Idaho. The historic project area was a productive region up until the 1960's reporting copper grades of greater than 1.5%. The Company is currently finalising a review and expanding its footprint in the region due to the high-quality assay results seen in historical reports.

A technical review is underway and the Company will update the market once the review has been completed. The review will consist of:

  • Developing a historical and exploration geological model
  • Creating a JORC exploration target
  • Planning a mapping, sampling and drill program
  • Engaging government agencies for exploration permitting

PAK Chairman Geoff Hill on the registration of the claims at Garnet Creek:

"The Company sees Garnet Creek as a natural extension to its North American metals strategy. Management and the technical team have been working diligently to add projects to the portfolio and the grades at Garnet Creek are well above general industry average of less than 1%. The Company will keep seeking new opportunities that create shareholder value and the addition of Garnet Creek exemplifies the types of projects we are looking at".

This market announcement has been authorised for release to the market by the Board of Pacific American Holdings Limited.

Staking Program

As previously announced, the Company is actively reviewing a number of opportunities in Idaho as it seeks to build a portfolio of gold and base metals assets in North America. Through this review and due diligence process, the Company has identified prospective regions that require in-field assessment prior to registering or lodging a claim over the areas of interest. The Company has recently undertaken both a review and infield assessment of the Garnet Creek mining area and subsequently applied for and has been granted twenty-two x Lode Claims on Federally owned land.

Mining Region

The Garnet Creek area has several old mines on the property or adjacent to the area. Historic mining activity produced copper during the early 19th century using non mechanised methods to recover and transport the copper ore. Evidence of mining activity and old ore stockpiles can be seen at Garnet Creek with the area showing the potential as a prospective standalone exploration project. According to the US Bureau of Mines reports, the region produced approximately 33 million pounds of copper, 57K ounces of gold, and 2M ounces of silver between 1883 and 1976 from near to surface and relatively shallow workings when compared to modern extractive technologies.

Property Infrastructure

The Garnet Creek property has existing roads leading into the property accessible by pickup truck and ATV vehicles. The roads are well maintained and means exploration will have limited impact due to these existing roads. Water is also accessible on the property with a number of streams and creeks running through the property.

Next Steps

The Company has begun a technical review of the Garnet Creek mining claims in addition to investigating additional areas that would complement the Garnet Creek Project. The review will consider a near term exploration program to determine the extent of the regionalised geology and the potential for a mineralised orebody at Garnet Creek. Once the technical review has been completed the Company will update the market in addition to any updates on new areas the Company has secured.
