Starfield sizes up 119 zone

Vancouver-based Starfield Resources (SRU-V) has tabled a preliminary inferred resource estimate for the 119 zone at the Ferguson Lake polymetallic project, near Rankin Inlet in Nunavut.

At a cutoff grade of 2.5% combined copper and nickel, zone 119 is estimated to contain 1.6 million tonnes running 2% copper, 0.73% nickel and 0.085% cobalt, plus 2.2 grams palladium and 0.4 gram platinum per tonne.

When the cutoff drops to 1.5% combined copper and nickel, the zone’s estimated inferred resource grows to 5.8 million tonnes running 1.3% copper, 0.72% nickel, 0.09% cobalt, 2 grams palladium and 0.3 gram platinum.

Zone 119 was discovered last August about 800 metres west of the main West zone. Drilling has confirmed its continuity over a strike length of at least 400 metres.

So far, Starfield has drilled 10,400 metres at the zone.

The company is compiling all its 2002 exploration data for a revised property-wide resource estimate, and further drilling is planned for April.
