Trailbreaker Resources Identifies 850 x 700 Metre Au-Cu-Ag-Mo Anomaly at Eagle Lake Property, South-Central BC
06 Septiembre 2022 - 6:45AM
Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. (TBK.V)
(“Trailbreaker” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the
completion and results of its Phase 1 exploration program at the
Eagle Lake property in south-central BC (British Columbia).
The program included prospecting, geological
reconnaissance mapping, and a 432-sample Mobile Metal Ion (MMI)
soil geochemical survey covering a 3 x 3.5-kilometre area.
The MMI survey was designed to cover historic
drill showings which include a drill intercept of 3.52 g/t Au over
9.9 metres (2011 drill hole MOF-5). The survey identified an 850 x
700 metre Au-Cu-Ag-Mo (gold-copper-silver-molybdenum) anomaly which
occurs over MOF-5 and extends east and north into an area where
there is no documented historic drilling (see MMI soil anomaly
map).
During the 2022 program, the exploration team
located the historic drill core from the 2011 drill campaign and
was able to examine and re-log the gold- and copper-bearing
mineralized intercepts. Significant amounts of hydrothermal
breccia, quartz-carbonate-potassium feldspar veining, and fault
gouge were observed within the gold-bearing interval of MOF-5 which
commences at 253 metres depth. Trailbreaker geologists have
determined that these features are representative of a
regional-scale fault structure that parallels the
northwest-trending geological contact between the late Triassic
Copper Mountain Plutonic Suite and the early Jurassic Takomkane
Batholith. The MMI soil anomaly occurs along this contact.
To further investigate the surficial expression
of the auriferous fault zone observed in drill core at depth, a
large-scale induced polarization (IP) survey is recommended for the
area of the 2022 MMI soil survey, as well as further MMI soil
sampling to the east and north. Permits to conduct the geophysical
survey as well as drilling at Eagle Lake have been applied for.
Daithi Mac Gearailt, CEO of Trailbreaker,
commented: “Before Trailbreaker generated this target and
consolidated the land package, these historic drill intersections
had yet to be followed-up. We have now confirmed an extensive
multi-element soil anomaly over the location of the highest-grade
intercepts from previous drilling. Very little historic exploration
has been done in this area, and given that the Woodjam copper-gold
project lies just to the northwest, we see a lot of potential for
growth here.”

About the Eagle Lake
property
Located 55 km east of Williams Lake, BC, the
Eagle Lake property was recently generated by Trailbreaker through
an agreement with Teck Resources Limited combined with additional
claim staking (see May 18, 2022 news release). The property covers
18,990 hectares that are accessible by an extensive network of
well-maintained forest service roads. It is situated directly
adjacent to Consolidated Woodjam Copper Corp.’s Woodjam Cu-Au
(copper-gold) porphyry project which hosts an inferred resource of
1.7 billion lbs copper and 968,100 oz gold (see Geology Map,
Location Map, and Overview Map).
Trailbreaker’s claims are situated within the
Quesnel terrane which is host to several of BC’s large-tonnage
copper-gold porphyry deposits. These include: New Gold’s Afton
mine, Imperial Metals’ Mount Polley mine, Taseko’s Gibraltor mine,
and Centerra Gold’s Mount Milligan and Kemess mines. The Quesnel
terrane also hosts numerous advanced-stage gold projects, such as
the Spanish Mountain gold project (measured and indicated resource
of >4.5 M oz Au) located 45 km north of Eagle Lake, and Karus
Gold’s FG gold project, located 35 km to the east.
Results of limited historic exploration at the
Eagle Lake property include a drill intercept of 3.52 g/t Au over
9.9 metres as well as numerous low-grade copper intercepts. A
regional-scale till sampling program executed in 2019 demonstrated
that anomalous gold-in-till values were returned from the southern
portion of the Eagle Lake property hosting this drill hole.
Trailbreaker’s 2022 MMI soil survey was designed
to cover the area of this drill hole and beyond, to potentially
identify anomalous gold- and copper-in-soil trends that may have
been overlooked in the past. Unlike conventional soil geochemical
surveys, MMI analysis measures metal ions that travel upward from
the bedrock and accumulate in the surface soil. This method is
designed to potentially detect deeply buried mineralization and
provide more focused targets for potential future drill
programs.
Message from the President
“While the results of the 2022 program are very
exciting, we still have an enormous amount of relatively
un-explored ground to cover. The team and myself will be carefully
planning the next steps at Eagle Lake in the coming months.”
