Surface sampling traced two parallel veins over a 3-km strike length at the Radio zone. Highlights include: 27.9 grams gold per tonne and 0.81% copper over 0.2 metre; 123 grams gold and 1.73% copper over 0.3 metres; and 36.9 grams gold and 1.08% copper over 0.3 metre.
A further 1.4 km to the north, follow-up work on the AD vein discovered float boulders 800 metres along strike from the main showing. These returned up to 30.6 grams gold.
Based on the results, Redcorp has launched a 1,500-metre drill program aimed at testing these vein systems at depth.
Meanwhile, a request for a project approval certificate (PAC) for the Tulsequah polymetallic project has been in the hands of the provincial government since late May. Under the guidelines of the Environmental Assessment Act, the Ministry of Energy and Mines and the Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management were to render a decision within 45 days. The base and precious metals project has sat idle since June 2000, when the original PAC was rescinded.
Tulsequah is in a former mining camp alongside the Tulsequah River in a remote rugged corner of northwestern British Columbia, 100 km south of the town of Atlin and 65 km northeast of Juneau, Alaska. Redfern estimated an indicated and inferred mineral resource of 8.9 million tonnes grading 6.61% zinc, 1.24% lead and 1.31% copper, plus 2.53 grams gold and 108 grams silver per tonne.
