This 2022 Phase I drill program will test a large gold-copper porphyry target and will consist of 1,000 to 2,000 metres of NQ size diamond core drilling in 2 - 3 holes budgeted at
Drill hole targeting was refined utilizing results of a Magneto Telluric (MT) geophysical survey conducted in the summer of 2021 which outlined a large, pronounced low resistivity / high conductivity anomaly over 800 metres in width starting at a depth of 300-400 metres, extending to a depth of over 900 metres, which is open to depth. This conductive body is inferred to be the sulphide rich mineralizing intrusive which altered and mineralized the volcanic rocks to the west in the area of previous drilling.
Previous drilling at Captain has defined a tabular, sericite altered zone that is 500 metres thick along a strike length of 800 metres with a width in excess of 1000 metres, (500m x 800m x1000m) which is open to the east. Within this zone, potassic-phyllic altered latite volcanics host calc-alkaline style gold-copper mineralization.
