New Airborne Geophysical Survey Data in the Creighton-Flin Flon Area
On September 18, 2018 the Government of Saskatchewan announced that airborne electromagnetic, magnetic, and gravity gradient surveys were flown over areas west of the border with Manitoba in vicinity of Creighton-Flin Flon during the summer of 2018. The electromagnetic and associated magnetic surveys were funded by the Government of Saskatchewan as part of its Mineral Development Strategy announced in October. The gravity gradient and associated magnetic surveys were funded by Natural Resources Canada’s Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI).
Searchlight initially optioned 4 claim blocks (867 hectares) in the Creighton-Flin Flon area of Saskatchewan in May 2017. As a result of selective staking, Searchlight now holds a total of 33 claim blocks (16,364 hectares) in the Creighton Denare Beach area, see claim map below.
When available this month, the data from the airborne surveys will be integrated with existing geophysics data from the area and form a component of a cooperative geoscience project by the Saskatchewan Geological Survey, the Geological Survey of Canada, and the Manitoba Geological Survey to better understand the context of base and precious metal mineralization in the area.
Stephen Wallace, President and CEO of Searchlight stated “The Creighton area has been the focus of Searchlight for the past year and the company is awaiting this new information with great interest”
