With one known mineralized zone in hand, Stratabound Minerals (ASE) has resumed drilling its Taylor Brook base metal property in northern New Brunswick.
Work to date has been focused on a small part of its 292-claim property, from which encouraging zinc-lead-silver intervals were reported. These include: 3.3 ft. of 10.72% zinc, 6.22% lead and 5.18 oz. silver per ton; 6.6 ft. of 5.58% zinc, 4.01% lead and 3.39 oz. silver; 10.8 ft. of 4.2% zinc, 2.28% lead and 1.51 oz. silver; 6.6 ft. of 6.82% zinc, 2.15% lead and 2.07 oz. silver; 9.2 ft. of 5.33% zinc, 1.66% lead and 1.89 oz. silver; 3.1 ft. of 9.75% zinc, 6.2% lead and 3.01 oz. silver; and 3 ft. of 8.64% zinc, 4.17% lead and 2.32 oz. silver.
The company is trying to define the known sulphide zone and extend ground follow-up work to include new targets, primarily in the East and West Grid areas.
The West Grid covers the northwestern strike extension of a favorable rhyolite sequence. Numerous electromagnetic, soil geochemical, lithogeochemical and aeromagnetic anomalies have been detected along this stratigraphic trend. Coincident copper-silver-lead-zinc soil anomalies are present as well.
An unexplored sericite-pyrite alteration zone was found to cover an area at least 800 metres long and several hundred metres wide.
These new targets will be explored with geological mapping, prospecting and electromagnetic surveying, followed by trenching and drilling. The company anticipates that additional targets will be identified this summer, following the release of results from airborne surveys.
Meanwhile, at its Montcalm project near Timmins, Ont., Stratabound has completed ground electromagnetic and magnetic surveys on seven grids cut along 7 miles of favorable gabbroic rocks. The company believes these rocks have potential for hosting nickel-copper-cobalt deposits.
A drill rig is being moved to the property to test targets on grids A, C and F. Four holes are planned.
