Vancouver-based Rockridge Resources reports drilling high-grade, near-surface copper mineralization at the Knife Lake property 50 km northwest of Sandy Bay. Rockridge has an option with Eagle Plains Resources to acquire 100% interest in the historic property.<\/p>\n
Drill hole KF19001 intersected net textured to fracture controlled sulphide mineralization between 7.5 to 40.6 metres, returning 33.1 metres of 1.28% copper, 0.12 g\/t gold, 4.80 g\/t silver, 0.13% zinc, and 0.01% cobalt for an estimated 1.49% copper equivalent.<\/p>\n
Drill hole KF19002 intersected net textured to semi-massive sulphide mineralization between 9.7 to 53.5 metres, returning 43.8 metres of 0.78% copper, 0.07 g\/t gold, 2.54 g\/t silver, 0.07% zinc, and 0.01% cobalt for an estimated 0.93% copper equivalent.<\/p>\n
Rockridge noted that anomalous gallium of up to 23.1 ppm and indium of up to 15.2 ppm were present in both drill holes, confirming the results of historical drilling.<\/p>\n
The Knife Lake property was extensively explored from the late 1960s to the 1990s, with the last documented work program completed in 2001.<\/p>\n
