updating information Zeus Claims
Location: South-Central B.C., Canada
The Zeus and Zeus #1 copper/gold claims are located approximately 40 km NW of Lillooet. The claims are made up of 20 unit block sand and cover approximately 1000 hectares. They are easily accessed by the all-weather bridge river road and then by a 26 km forestry road.
Work history:
Department of Energy and Mines files indicated the majority of exploration programs were conducted between 1983 and 1995. These programs included geochemistry geophysics, mapping, trenching and diamond drilling. Over 2500 meters of drilling was completed in 1995. To date, a total of 8959 meters of drilling in 105 holes has been completed. The principal view is approximately 2 meters thick and can be traced for 700 meters. According to the Mine Files, a small copper/gold resource has been defined as a result of drilling to date. Potential to expand this resource is considered good. Geology on the property suggests a porphyry copper/gold deposit may be the source of the existing mineralization. This possibility is the main reason for the acquisition although the auriferous quartz veining system warrants further work to determine its potential. Skoonka Creek Claim
Location: South-Central B.C., Canada
Anglo-Canadian Uranium Corp. has acquired an option to earn a 100-per-cent interest in 96 claims covering 1,942 hectares known as the Boothanie 1-2-3 claim and the B4, B5 and B6 claims in the Skoonka Creek area of British Columbia. The claims are located about 10 kilometres (km) from the Trans-Canada Highway and the CNR main line at Lytton, B.C., approximately three hours drive heading east from Vancouver. The claims are easily accessed by secondary roads.
Skoonka Creek is the site of a recent high-grade discovery on a property jointly owned by Almaden Minerals and Strongbow Exploration. Strongbow reported one intersection of 20 grams per tonne (g/t) over 12.8 metres on its JJ showing. The company's claims adjoin the Strongbow Skoonka project. The Strongbow structure continues on to the newly acquired Boothanie claims and intersects Skoonka Creek on Anglo-Canadian's property. A staking rush has ensued and most if not all of this geological trend has been staked.
The company is well financed to carry out an exploration program early this year. This program will begin with intensive prospecting, geochemical and geophysical surveys, followed by diamond drilling as warranted. Princeton Copper / Gold / Palladium Project
This project consists of copper-gold-palladium claims covering 1266 hectares located 11 to 12 km south of Princeton. These claims, known as the Princeton project, have more than four showings known to occur on the optioned properties. Grab and chip samples have showings as high as 2.5 g / tonne gold, 30 to 65 g / tonne palladium, 42% copper and 150 g / tonne silver taken by a government geologist in 1960. These samples have since been duplicated by a more recent sampling program. The Princeton project is also located 5 km south of the Newmont Ingerbell mine. This mine operated for over 20 years with the final year of production producing 40,545,000 pounds of copper, 83,500 ounces of silver and 27,000 ounces of gold. Historically, the Princeton region has been a prolific copper-gold producing area.
The Princeton project is underlain by upper Triassic Nicola Group pyroclastics and flows. The rocks are intruded alkaline rocks of the Copper Mountain and Lost Horse intrusives. Late stage pegmatites and syanites occupy faults and shears, with ultramafic intrusives occurring locally. Mineralization consists of various amounts of bornite and chalcopyrite in altered "pink" syenite or pegmatites, and also occurs near ultramafic intrusions. Palladium and silver mineralization often occurs with the bornite and chalcopyrite. Other showings in the area demonstrated the potential for hosting alkaline copper - gold porphyry type deposits with vein and fault related deposits possibly occurring.
A recent prospecting program conducted by company geologists and consultants demonstrated highlights including samples of 43% Copper (Cu), 28.16 g/t Gold (Au), and 18.19 g/t Palladium (Pd), and a 3 metre chip sample from this showing revealed 15.76 % Copper, 12.26 g/t Gold an >10 g/t Palladium. Sampling results were assayed by ACME Analytical Laboratories of Vancouver, B.C.
These high grade samples come from an area known as the Friday Creek Showing. The showing consists of massive bornite outcrops within a syno-diorite. This diorite is in contact with a Monzonite that is intruded by a pyroxinite to dunite dyke. The dyke has been explored in the past but has not been adequately sampled for either gold or PGM's. The dyke covers an area of 100-200m wide by an indeterminate length. The above sample results reveal a potential for hosting gold and palladium. Approximately 1.5 km further to the north-west, near highway #3 the Platinum claims hold Porphyry Cu-Au-Pd potential.
Approximately 2 km to the south east on the east side of the Similkameen River lies the Rico Showing. This showing consists of massive to semi-massive phyrrotite and pyrite in Nicola group siltstones and chert. Gold and copper values range up from 0.2- 24g/t Au and 0.2- >1% Cu.
Highlights from a recent drill program include an intersection of 1.494% Cu over 6.08 meters. A full summary of the results can be viewed in the table below.
The holes were drilled on favourable stratigraphy that indicates an alkaline porphyry environment. The results from hole DDH-11 ran 156 meters of 0.087% Cu. These results are not weighted This hole is strongly altered with chalcocite and bornite throughout the section assayed. DDH-12 ran 42.57 meters of 0.28% Cu., including 6.08 meters of 1.495% Cu and 0.714 gm/tonne Au. This hole drilled near a monzonite diorite contact is mineralized with chalcocite and bornite throughout the section assayed. . The total results for these intervals are listed below. Hole DDH 11 was drilled to 179 meters and hole DDH 12 was drilled to 214 meters. Intervals that were not sampled did not contain visible mineralization. The numbering system for drill # 2 holes start at #11.
