The soil sampling program in the Gold Drop south west zone helped identify a new vein exposure in a small, 2 meter deep historic adit 175 meters north of the C.O.D. trench. The adit is driven on a North-south striking quartz vein that is on strike with the C.O.D. Vein, and appears to be of the same Detonia/Jewel style quartz vein. (News Release of Sept 1, 2017). Another vein exposure north of the trench was also located by hand pitting on local quartz float. Both of these exposures have been sampled and returned promising results. Bedrock quartz samples from the small hand pit material returned values of 4.97 g/t and 30.7 g/t Ag. Samples of boulder material found outside of the small adit returned values of 1.28 g/t Au and 6.97 g/t Ag.

Part of the fall prospecting focused on locating and sampling the Silent Friend and Ken veins near the Gold Drop Main Zone. Both of these returned significant values including 297 g/t Au and 1290 g/t Ag sampled in dump pile quartz from what is believed to be the southern Silent Friend showing. Samples of dump pile material from a mineshaft north of this exposure assayed 6.98 g/t Au and 38.6 g/t Ag. Material from a mineshaft to the south, speculated to be the Ken mineshaft, assayed 4.47 g/t Au and 23.0 g/t Ag.

Glacier Lake $GLI.ca Announces New Discovery at Silver Vista Hinting at Pollymetallic System $JAX.ca $AMI.ca $GTT.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 7:43 AM on Thursday, November 2nd, 2017

  • New Discovery is called the “Golden Vista Zone”
  • Golden Vista Zone is 22 km northwest of the principal target, the “MR” copper-silver prospect
  • 2cm massive pyrite-galena stringer within siliceous, altered mineralized sediments
  • 16.90 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au), 196.0 g/t (Ag) silver, 12.6 percent (%) lead (Pb), 11.9 percent zinc (Zn)

Glacier Lake Resources Inc. (TSXV:GLI) (“Glacier” or the “Company”) is pleased to report multiple new mineral showings in an area designated as the “Golden Vista Zone”, located on the Silver Vista property, near Smithers, B.C. The highlight is an outcrop select grab sample including a 2 centimetre massive pyrite-galena stringer within siliceous, altered mineralized sediments, returning 16.90 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au), 196.0 g/t (Ag) silver, 12.6 percent (%) lead (Pb), 11.9 percent zinc (Zn).  Investors are cautioned that these samples are selective samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.

The Golden Vista Zone area is approximately 22 kilometers northwest of the principal target, the “MR” copper-silver prospect. Highlights of the recent Golden Vista discoveries include:

  • The mineral showings are in a minimally explored area of the property, with no previously known mineral showings or historic prospects. The new showings resulted from a limited prospecting-geological mapping program, involving a 3-4-person crew, serviced by helicopter from Smithers. In total 28 grab rock samples were taken from outcrop or subcrop locations while prospecting, and 53 soils samples were taken.
  • Target GV-2 is located in a steeply incised stream drainage and comprises three outcrop grab samples, hosting semi-massive sulphides (pyrite-galena) in altered, siliceous, gossanous sediments. Sample #02681 returned 5.37 g/t Au, 110.0 g/t Ag, 5.05 % Pb, and 11.60 % Zn from a pyrite-galena gossan. Sample #02681 assayed 16.90 g/t Au, 196.0 g/t Ag, 12.60% Pb and 11.90% Zn from a 2 cm massive sulfide vein. Sample #16079 is comprised of coarse grained galena in a highly silicified sedimentary unit, which returned 4.47 g/t Au, 34.00 g/t Ag, 1.72% Pb, and 5.02% Zn. The GV-2 zone is a high priority target for follow-up.
  • Target GV-1 was investigated to confirm gold-and-silver soil anomalies from wide spaced (+/- 300 meter spacing) reconnaissance soil sampling completed in 2012-2013, in an area of rugged topography. Soil sample #2668 from this location returned 0.34 g/t Au, 15.45 g/t Ag, 0.29% Pb, and 0.26% Zn. Soil sample #2669, nearby returned 1.68 g/t Au, 28.90 g/t Ag, 0.44% Pb, and 0.36% Zn. Outcrop rock samples from the same location of altered, gossanous sediments returned anomalous gold values of 0.141 g/t Au and 0.118 g/t Au, suggestive that the source of the soil geochemical anomalies may be further up-slope.
  • The GV-1 target alteration zone was projected to the south-east and an outcrop location approximately 350 meters along strike was discovered comprising siliceous, moderately gossanous sediments. Three chip samples were taken at this location, with anomalous gold (0.04, 0.18 and 0.26 g/t Au), and silver, (4.6, 7.1, and 16.3 g/t Ag), and strongly anomalous lead (0.65, 0.12, and 1.11% Pb). These anomalous values and associated metals (arsenic, antimony and mercury) are supportive of structural continuity of the GV-1 alteration/mineralized zones.
  • Target GV-4 was tested by three soil samples with anomalous gold values. Soil sample #16082 returned the highest gold-in-soil value of the fall survey, with 2.75 g/t Au, 3.4 g/t Ag, and 781 ppm (parts per million) Pb.
  • Three other targets are defined by anomalous soil and/or rock geochemistry in the Golden Vista area.  Outcrop exposure is modest and soil sampling remains an effective tool to define buried targets. The Golden Visa discoveries are in an area 1,400 meters by 1,000 meters. Several anomalous gold-in-soil anomalies were not visited during the recent program.
  • A preliminary analysis of the soil and rock geochemistry suggest that the Golden Vista mineralization is representative of an enhanced gold- silver-lead-zinc system. Silver values in the soils are enriched and widespread, with more than 37% of the soil samples returning +1.0 g/t Ag in the soils. The 90% percentile of the 53 soil samples is 0.11 g/t Au, 3.2 g/t Ag and 880 ppm lead (Pb).

Saf Dhillon, President/CEO and Director of Glacier Lake Resources Inc. reports that, “The results of our recent reconnaissance program have exceeded our expectations, with the discovery of multiple showings returning significant precious and base metals. These new showings indicate an exciting new style of mineralization on the Silver Vista property. While our short-term focus will be on a Phase 1 drill program to test the zone of high-grade copper and silver mineralization at the “MR” area, the Golden Vista zones will be an important exploration target for next summer’s field season.”

All samples from the Golden Vista surface program were sent to the ALS Minerals Ltd. North Vancouver, BC laboratory, an 17025:2005 certified facility. All samples were collected by Exploration Facilitation Unlimited Inc. personnel and securely stored until delivery to ALS Minerals. At this early stage of exploration, Glacier Lake is relying on the certified standards utilized by ALS Minerals as part of it analysis protocols. No QA/QC anomalies were noted in the analyses.

$GGX.ca COD vein intercept of 16.3M of 4.59 g/t Gold and 38.64 g/t Silver

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:27 AM on Thursday, September 7th, 2017

GGX Gold Drill Intercepts The COD Vein,  Greenwood BC

  • Gold Drop Southwest Zone, Phase 1 Diamond Drill Program
  • Hole COD17-14 returns 4.59 g/t Gold & 38.64 g/t Silver over 16.03 meters
  • Aug 28, 2017  core samples for the COD Vein returned up to 24.1 g/t Gold and 192 g/t Silver

    Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire)GGX Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGX) (the “Company” or “GGX”) is pleased to announce it has received analytical results for the second batch of drill core samples from the Phase I diamond drilling program at the Company’s Gold Drop Project near Greewood, BC.  GGX is currently exploring and defining the COD Vein, a Dentonia/Jewel style quartz vein, located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. Trenching during 2017 has exposed the northeast – southwest striking COD vein for over 160 meter strike length. The second batch of drill core samples returned significant gold and silver values including a broad intersection in hole COD17-14 (grading 4.59 g/t Gold and 38.64 g/t Silver over 16.03 meters with a high grade core grading 10.96 g/t Gold and 89.86 g/t Silver over 5.97 meters).

     

    The Company had previously received analytical results for 68 trench channel samples. These samples returned anomalous to high grade values for gold, including high values of 43.2 g/t Gold and 224 g/t Silver (News release of July 26, 2017). The first batch of drill core samples for the COD Vein returned up to 24.1 g/t Gold and 192 g/t Silver (News release of Aug 28, 2017).

    The Phase I drilling program aimed to delineate the COD Vein in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone from 5 pad locations along the North-south trench.  The drilling tested the vein along 80 meters of strike length. The drilling commenced south of the C.O.D. mine shaft and progressed systematically to the north.  The Phase I drilling totaled 15 holes (691 meters). The objective of the drilling was to determine depth and the dip of the vein exposed at surface and confirm gold and silver mineralization below the channel samples. Drilling to date has confirmed the vein to a vertical depth of 150 feet (46.36 meters), being open at depth.

    The analytical results listed below are from holes COD17-10 to COD17-14, testing the COD Vein. Since true widths cannot be accurately determined from the information available the core lengths (meters) are reported. The Gold, Silver grade is reported in grams per tonne (g/t). The intervals listed below are from the gold and silver bearing vein and adjacent low grade mineralized envelopes.  The sampling also revealed other intervals with low grade gold (up to 0.4 g/t gold over 1 meter) in veining and / or host rock.

     

    HOLE ID Core interval Length (m) Au g/t weighted average Ag g/t weighted average
    COD17-10 5.45 0.47 4.31
