Vancouver — International Curator Resources (IC-T) has started its summer exploration program over the Assean Lake property near Thompson, Man., where the winter drill program cut a new gold zone.
Located on the Hunt claims, the new discovery was cut by six holes over a 500-metre strike length. Mineralization occurs as silicified zones with pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite in a strong structure associated with an Archean banded iron formation.
The best intercept to date came from hole 14, which cut 4.6 metres grading 9 grams gold per tonne. The zone remains open along strike and at depth.
To better define the 8-km-long structural zone, the junior has launched ground geochemical and geophysical surveys. These will be followed by 4,500 metres of drilling. About 3,000 metres will evaluate the new discovery and the remaining 1,500 metres will test other anomalies. The rig is expected to turn by late July.
International Curator can earn a 60% stake in the property from a private company by spending $1.25 million over four years.
