TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 9, 2022 / Eskay Mining Corp. ("Eskay" or the "Company") (TSXV:ESK)(OTCQX:ESKYF)(Frankfurt:KN7) (WKN:A0YDPM) is pleased to announce discovery of a new volcanogenic massive sulfide ("VMS") center at Jeff North as well as recent drill intercepts of polymetallic mineralization in two areas along the TV-Jeff corridor, part of its 100% controlled Consolidated Eskay project, British Columbia. As of this release, over 13,000m of diamond drilling has been undertaken in numerous drill holes along 3.7km of strike at TV-Jeff. Diamond drilling also continues at the Scarlet Ridge area, subject of a Company news release dated July 27, 2022. To date, the Company has completed approximately 15,600m of diamond core drilling, approximately 52% of the 30,000m planned to be completed in 2022. Drill production remains on target to reach this aggressive goal with four drills fully operational.

多伦多,on/ACCESSWIRE/2022年8月9日/Eskay矿业公司(“Eskay”或“公司”)(多伦多证券交易所股票代码:ESKYF)(法兰克福股票代码:KN7)(WKN:A0YDPM)我们很高兴地宣布在Jeff North发现了一个新的火山成因块状硫化物(“VMS”)中心,以及最近在TV-Jeff走廊沿线的两个区域截获的多金属矿化,这是其在不列颠哥伦比亚省100%控制的综合Eskay项目的一部分。截至此次发布,TV-Jeff已在3.7公里的多个钻孔中进行了超过13,000米的钻石钻探。钻石钻探还在Scarlet Ridge地区继续进行,该地区是公司于2022年7月27日发布的新闻稿的主题。到目前为止,该公司已完成约15,600米的钻石岩心钻探,约占计划于2022年完成的30,000米钻探工作的52%。随着四个钻探全面投入使用,钻探生产仍在按目标进行,以实现这一积极目标。

"As with the Scarlet Ridge-Tarn Lake VMS corridor, the TV-Jeff VMS corridor is proving itself to be another large VMS complex with sulfide mineralization focused along multiple syn-volcanic fault structures each closely associated with intense hydrothermal alteration of volcanic rocks", commented Dr. John DeDecker, Eskay Mining's VP of Exploration. "The discovery of Jeff North now extends the strike length of the known TV-Jeff VMS corridor to 3.7km. Importantly, recent drill holes completed in two areas have yielded intercepts of polymetallic sulfide mineralization with abundant chalcopyrite and sphalerite. Spot XRF readings taken from core indicates promising pathfinder element support including silver from this style of mineralization. Also encouraging, anomalous geochemical results recently received from soil samples collected at the very start of the 2022 exploration season indicate mineralization potentially extends another 2 km further north from Jeff North. We are optimistic that multiple other VMS targets we have recently identified along the TV-Jeff trend will prove mineralized, and we continue to grow confident about the potential for the Consolidated Eskay project to host an entire VMS district."

Eskay矿业勘探副总裁John DeDecker博士评论说:“与Scarlet Ridge-Tarn Lake VMS走廊一样,TV-Jeff VMS走廊正在证明自己是另一个大型VMS复合体,硫化物矿化集中在多个同火山断裂构造上,每个断裂构造都与火山岩的强烈热液蚀变密切相关。杰夫·诺斯的发现现在将已知的TV-Jeff VMS走廊的走向长度延长到3.7公里。重要的是,最近在两个地区完成的钻探已经截获了多金属硫化物矿化,其中含有丰富的黄铜矿和闪锌矿。从岩心获得的点状XRF读数表明,包括这种矿化风格的银在内的有前景的探索者元素支持。同样令人鼓舞的是,最近从2022年勘探季节开始时收集的土壤样本中获得的异常地球化学结果表明,矿化可能从杰夫·诺斯再向北延伸2公里。我们乐观地认为,我们最近沿着TV-Jeff趋势确定的多个其他VMS目标将被证明是矿化的,我们继续对联合Eskay项目容纳整个VMS区的潜力充满信心。“

Jeff North

杰夫·诺斯

Drilling at Jeff North targeted a large conductive SkyTEM anomaly coincident with a ridge of silicified peperitic basalt displaying strong Ag-in-soil anomalies from samples collected during the 2021 program. Strong VMS stockwork mineralization encountered in recent drilling at Jeff North lies 600m north of Jeff and extends at least 700m northwards along strike remaining open to the north. Some stockwork intervals are distinctly polymetallic displaying abundant sphalerite and chalcopyrite in addition to the ubiquitous pyrite. This mineralogy coupled with the presence of strong pathfinder elements including Ag, As, Sb, Cu, Zn, and Pb as detected by handheld XRF provide encouragement for presence of Au and Ag, both of which must be assayed for accurate measurement.Core is being logged, split and sampled in preparation for submittal for assaying.

Jeff North的钻探目标是一个大型的导电SkyTEM异常,与硅化珠光玄武岩的山脊重合,从2021年计划期间收集的样本中显示出强烈的土壤银异常。最近在Jeff North钻探中遇到的强烈VMS网状矿化位于Jeff以北600米处,并沿着走向向北延伸至少700米,继续向北开放。一些网状层段具有明显的多金属特征,除了普遍存在的黄铁矿外,还显示了丰富的闪锌矿和黄铜矿。这种矿物学,再加上手持XRF检测到的银、砷、锑、铜、锌和铅等强指示元素的存在,为Au和Ag的存在提供了鼓励,这两种元素都必须进行分析才能进行准确的测量。岩芯正在进行记录、裂解和取样,为提交分析做准备。

Jeff North Drilling Highlights

杰夫·诺斯钻探亮点

  • At present, drilling at Jeff North has ceased and the focus has moved onto TV, the area between TV and Jeff (Figures 1 and 2), and Scarlet Ridge. This said, Eskay is prepared to follow up with drilling at Jeff North late-season should assays confirm this to be a significant new discovery.
  • Jeff North represents a new VMS discovery beginning 600m north of Jeff and extending at least 700m northwards. Sulfide mineralization is hosted by intensely silicified peperitic basalt and andesite flows (Figures 3 and 4). Mineralization remains open to the north as well as down-dip.
  • J22-118 intercepted a 12.7m interval of polymetallic sulfide mineralization hosted within a silica-rich hydrothermal breccia and surrounding silicified mudstone (Figures 5 and 6). Sulfide mineralization includes abundant chalcopyrite and sphalerite. The presence of chalcopyrite with intense silicification suggests the proximity to a higher temperature VMS feeder zone than those encountered at TV and Jeff.
  • Handheld XRF analyses of sulfide mineralization in several drill holes from Jeff North show high concentrations of the pathfinder elements Ag, As, Sb, Cu, Zn, and Pb.
  • Early results from the 2022 soil sampling program show Ag and Hg anomalism extends 2km further north than hole J22-99 (Figure 9), the northernmost drill hole completed at Jeff North. Given that the Jeff North target was recognized as a SkyTEM conductivity high with an accompanying soil geochemical anomaly, Eskay's exploration team is optimistic that the Jeff North VMS system extends further northward. Soil sampling over a large SkyTEM conductive high approximately 1.8km north of Jeff North is currently underway.
  • J22-122 intercepted a 9.0 m interval of polymetallic sulfide mineralization hosted by intensely silicified andesitic peperite and associated mudstone (Figures 7 and 8). Polymetallic mineralization in both J22-118 and J22-122 occur at an equivalent horizon to the lower stockwork zone at Jeff 125 m south of J22-122.
  • 目前,杰夫·诺斯的钻探已经停止,焦点已经转移到电视上,电视和杰夫之间的区域(图1和图2),以及血色山脊。这就是说,Eskay准备在季末在Jeff North钻探,如果分析确认这是一个重要的新发现的话。
  • 杰夫·诺斯代表了一个新的VMS发现,从杰夫以北600米开始,向北延伸至少700米。硫化物矿化赋存于强烈硅化的珍珠岩玄武岩和安山岩流中(图3和图4)。矿化仍向北敞开,并向下倾斜。
  • J22-118截获了赋存于富硅热液角砾岩及其周围硅化泥岩中的12.7米多金属硫化物矿化(图5和6)。硫化物矿化包括丰富的黄铜矿和闪锌矿。具有强烈硅化作用的黄铜矿的存在表明,与TV和Jeff遇到的相比,接近更高温度的VMS喂料区。
  • 杰夫·诺斯的几个钻孔中的硫化物矿化的手持XRF分析表明,银、砷、锑、铜、锌和铅等引路元素含量很高。
  • 2022年土壤采样计划的早期结果显示,银和汞异常比J22-99孔(图9)向北延伸2公里,J22-99孔最北的钻孔在Jeff North完成。鉴于杰夫·诺斯的目标被认为是高电导率的SkyTEM,并伴随着土壤地球化学异常,埃斯凯的勘探团队乐观地认为,杰夫·诺斯的VMS系统将进一步向北延伸。在杰夫·诺斯以北约1.8公里处的一个大型SkyTEM导电高地上的土壤采样目前正在进行中。
  • J22-122截获了一段9.0米的多金属硫化物矿化,赋存于强烈硅化的安山质珍珠岩及其伴生泥岩中(图7和8)。J22-118和J22-122中的多金属矿化都发生在与J22-122以南125米的Jeff网状带相当的水平上。

Commencement of Drilling at TV

在电视上开始钻探

  • Drilling has commenced at TV focusing on expanding upon the core body of mineralization identified in 2021 drilling. Planned drill holes will test extensions of TV mineralization further down-dip, along strike to the north and south, and up stratigraphic section.
  • Testing of nearby IP-resistivity and SkyTEM targets is also scheduled. Based on past success of targeting VMS mineralization using SkyTEM and soil data at Jeff North, Jeff, and TV, the Eskay team is optimistic that a cluster of SkyTEM conductivity highs surrounding TV will lead to discovery of additional VMS mineralization.
  • The first 2022 drill hole at TV, TV22-84, intercepted approximately 40m of stockwork sulfide mineralization 65m down-dip from TV21-54, a very promising indication the system remains open in this direction (Figures 10 and 11).
  • TV已开始钻探,重点是扩大2021年钻探确定的矿化核心体。计划中的钻孔将测试TV矿化的延伸,进一步向下倾斜,沿走向向北和向南,并向上地层段。
  • 还计划对附近的IP-电阻率和SkyTEM目标进行测试。基于过去使用SkyTEM以及Jeff North、Jeff和TV的土壤数据锁定VMS矿化的成功经验,Eskay团队乐观地认为,TV周围的SkyTEM电导率高群将导致发现更多的VMS矿化。
  • TV的第一个2022年钻孔,TV22-84,从TV21-54向下倾斜65米处截获了大约40米的网状硫化物矿化,这是一个非常有希望的迹象,表明该系统仍在这个方向上开放(图10和图11)。

To date, Eskay Mining has completed approximately 15,600m of diamond core drilling, approximately 52% of the 30,000m planned for 2022. Thus far, drilling has occurred around the area called Jeff North, Scarlet Ridge and now, at TV. At present, four drills are fully operational and drill production is on track to reach Eskay's aggressive goal of 30,000 m.

到目前为止,Eskay Mining已完成约15,600米的钻石岩芯钻探,约占2022年计划钻探30,000米的52%。到目前为止,钻探已经在名为杰夫·诺斯、斯卡利特里奇和现在的TV地区进行。目前,四个钻探已全面投入使用,钻探生产有望达到Eskay提出的3万米的积极目标。

Labeled drill holes are completed, white drill traces show holes remaining to be drilled, drilling from 2020-2021 is noted. The three major SkyTEM anomalies coincident with Jeff North, Jeff, and TV all correspond with VMS mineralization. Results from the 2021 soil sampling program show broad Ag anomalism coincident with the TV-Jeff VMS system.)Fig. 3: Geological map of TV, Jeff, and Jeff North. VMS mineralization is closely associated with intensely altered packages of andesite, basalt, and dacite.(Figure 4: Representative sulfide intercepts from several drill holes at Jeff North. Sulfide mineralization at Jeff North is closely associated with silica alteration of the host rock, and contains more chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena than mineralization at Jeff and TV. J22-118 is located at the southern end of this trend of mineralized intercepts.)(Figure 5: J22-118 220.3-241.8 m showing stockwork sulfide mineralization with hydrothermal silica, hosted by an intensely silicified mudstone. This intercept is polymetallic, with abundant chalcopyrite and sphalerite filling fractures within pyrite.
