Vancouver The initial results from a 37-hole drill program by International Curator Resources (IC-T) has confirmed the discovery of a second gold-bearing zone some 3 km east of the Hunt zone on the Assean Lake property near Thompson, Manitoba.
Dubbed B52, the new zone has been cut by two holes and is open down dip. Hole 74 tested the down-dip extension of the mineralization hit in hole 60 (4 metres grading 10.2 grams gold per tonne) and returned 5.63 grams gold over 2.4 metres. Assay results for holes drilled on strike of the B52 zone are still pending.
At the Hunt zone, four holes tested the down plunge extension of the mineralization at 100 metre spacings Hole 62 cut a fault zone at the target depth with no significant values, while hole 70, drilled 100 metres to the east intersected a 4 metre quartz vein containing weakly anomalous gold values. Assay results for hole 73 are pending.
Holes 57 and 63 tested previously defined geophysical anomalies and both cut zones of nickel sulphide mineralization. Hole 57 hit two zones including 0.46% copper over 3.8 metres from 38 metres downhole. Hole 63 hit 0.55% nickel over 3 metres from 32 metres downhole. The nickel occurs within a sequence of sulphide-bearing Proterozoic metasediments intruded by ultramafic sills or dykes.
The 4,600 metre winter drill program is now complete and assay results from the last 20 holes are expected shortly.
International Curator can earn a 60% stake in the property from a private company by spending $1.25 million over four years.
