A drilling program is scheduled to begin in early June at Redhawk Resources’ (RDK-V) Remac zinc project in southern British Columbia.
The project, which lies 12.4 miles southeast of Trail, covers 9 sq. miles of ground and adjoins the past-producing Reeves-MacDonald mine.
Reeves-MacDonald exploited four moderately dipping sulphide zones hosted in the Reeves limestone member of the Lower Cambrian Laib Formation. The mine operated from 1949 to 1975.
Drilling from 1986 to 1988 indicated three of the zones had been faulted on to the Remac property. Two holes drilled during that time intersected the Annex zone: hole 87-1 returned 54 ft. averaging 8% zinc, 0.88% lead, 0.09% cadmium and 1.6 oz. silver per ton, including 26 ft. averaging 10% zinc, 1.64% lead, 0.12% cadmium and 2.21 oz. silver; and hole 88-1 hit 30 ft.
averaging 7.53% zinc, 0.39% lead, 0.08% cadmium and 3.11 oz. silver.
The upcoming drilling program will initially test the continuity of the Annex zone down-plunge.
