Recent drilling by Southern Africa Minerals (SAF-T) at the Caber property, 25 km west of Matagami, Que., has identified high-grade base metal mineralization.
One of four core holes drilled to test the upper portion of the Caber deposit returned several intersections of massive sulphide containing significant zinc and copper values.
Hole 30, drilled to a depth of 270 metres, returned 3.8 metres (from 200.4 to 204.2 metres) grading 0.9% zinc, 1.7% copper and 3.6 grams silver per tonne. Farther downhole, the company recovered 14 metres (from 208.8 to 222.8 metres) grading 10% zinc, 0.4% copper and 6 grams silver, including 2.7 metres grading 16.1% zinc and 0.8% copper and 2 metres of 23.3% zinc and 0.5% copper.
Resources at the deposit stand at 1.3 million tonnes grading 5.54% zinc and 1.3% copper, plus silver and gold credits.
Drilling also continues at the Caber North zone, which Southern African believes to have good potential to host a large-tonnage copper-zinc deposit.
