Bearing Resources Provides Exploration Update on the Zymo Copper-Gold Project, British Columbia
20 Octubre 2011 - 7:33AM
Marketwired
Bearing Resources Ltd. ("Bearing", or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:BRZ) is pleased to provide an exploration update for the
Company's activities at the Zymo Copper-Gold Project ("Zymo") in
British Columbia. The 12,896 hectare property is located 45
kilometres west of Smithers, British Columbia and Bearing is
earning a 65% interest in the project from Eastfield Resources Ltd.
(TSX VENTURE:ETF). Historical exploration, including surface
sampling, geophysical testing and core drilling, has identified a
large copper-gold porphyry system that includes four distinct
porphyry targets (Hobbes, FM, URC and RD Zones). Overall the
targets are defined by coincident copper and gold soil anomalies
contained within an open-ended nine kilometre by three kilometre
induced polarization ("IP") chargeability anomaly.
The work program completed in 2011 included 3,454 metres of NQ
diamond drilling in 11 drill holes; 7 holes at the Hobbes Zone
("Hobbes"), 2 holes at the FM Zone ("FM") and 2 holes at the URC
Zone ("URC"). The RD Zone was not drill tested. In addition,
approximately 30 kilometres of IP surveying was completed as well
as soil stream sediment sampling and prospecting. The work program
was terminated early due to the onset of winter conditions and will
be continued in the spring of 2012. Assays are pending and final
geophysical data is being compiled and integrated with prior
surveys.
Robert Cameron, Vice President Business Development commented,
"We believe Zymo has great potential and are very pleased with the
progress made during the abbreviated 2011 season. This recent phase
of drilling has intercepted mineralization, alteration and
lithologies that are consistent with a copper-gold porphyry system.
Results are expected in the next several weeks and will be released
as they become available and have been reviewed."
Hobbes is the most advanced target with ten historic drill holes
intersecting copper/gold mineralization over a distance of 600
metres. The best hole (ZY08-09), drilled in 2008, returned 72
metres (core length) of 0.72% copper and 0.54 gpt gold within a
longer interval that returned 159 metres grading 0.44% Cu and 0.32
gpt gold. Drilling in 2011 focused on step-out drilling to the
north, east and west of the prior drilling and all holes
encountered potassic and phyllic-altered intrusives and hornfelsed
sedimentary rock.
FM is located four kilometres east of the Hobbes zone and has
been tested by seven historical wide-spaced drill holes that
encountered mostly barren to low grade phyllic-altered intrusives
associated with magnetic lows. This year the Company drill tested
two new areas that targeted magnetic high anomalies and associated
gold and copper soil geochemistry. Drill core from the two holes
encountered variable intensity magnetite-bearing and
quartz-stockworked intrusive. At URC, located 1.5 kilometres
southwest of the Hobbes zone, two holes were collared but only one
hole was completed as one hole was lost due to difficult drilling
conditions. The completed hole encountered unaltered sediments. The
200 metre by 1500 metre copper and gold in soil anomaly and
coincident geophysical anomalies (magnetic high and IP high) at URC
remain unexplained and the URC target remains largely untested.
