CALGARY, Oct. 1, 2012 /CNW/ - Boxxer Gold Corp. (TSXV: BXX) ("Boxxer" or the "Corporation") is very pleased to provide positive results from the TITAN-24 DCIP/MT survey completed by Quantec Geoscience over two large copper-gold-molybdenum-silver in-soil anomalies on Boxxer's DOK project located in northwest British Columbia.
Boxxer's President and CEO, Elmer B. Stewart, explained, "Based on these results, the DOK property is at the drill-ready stage. The combination of Titan-24 results, airborne magnetic data, geology and copper mineralization exposed in bedrock strongly suggests two excellent porphyry style targets have been identified on this part of the DOK property. The chargeability anomalies outlined by the survey cross the interpreted contact between potassic altered and mineralized intrusive rocks and Stuhini volcanics underlying the two large polymetallic copper in soil anomalies with positive magnetic signatures are very compelling targets that suggest large porphyry targets".
The Titan-24 survey completed over two previously identified in-soil anomalies which contain the following historical results (see news release dated May 26, 2011):
| |
|
|
a) |
81 areas of copper mineralization have been located on the property; the majority of these occur within the two large polymetallic copper in soil geochemical anomalies, |
| |
|
|
b) |
The copper-gold-molybdenum-silver in soil geochemical anomalies occur over a five kilometre strike length. The northwest (see highlights) zone measures 2,000 metres long by up to 1,400 metres wide. The southeast (see highlights) zone measures 1,500 metres long and up to 900 metres wide. Both anomalies are open along strike, |
| |
|
|
c) |
Copper concentrations within both soil geochemical anomalies range from 200 to 9,820 parts per million (0.02% to 0.98%) ("ppm") as well as 0.03g/t to 2.2 g/t gold; 14 to 135ppm molybdenum; and 0.6g/t to 84.5g/t silver, and |
| |
|
|
d) |
Chip samples of mineralized bedrock in the northwest anomaly returned 0.66% copper over 38 metres, 0.73% copper over 16 metres, and 0.32% copper over 25 metres. |
The highlights of the Titan-24 surveys are:
| |
|
|
a) |
13 zones of exploration interest (anomalous chargeability/conductivity) were located, |
| |
|
|
b) |
A strong chargeability anomaly with an 800m strike length and a width of up to 1200m underlies the northwest zone. The chargeability anomaly is open along strike in both directions, |
| |
|
|
c) |
The chargeability anomaly on the northwest zone coincides with mineralized potassic altered intrusive rock and Stuhini volcanic rocks from which historical sampling includes 0.66% copper over 38m, |
| |
|
|
d) |
The copper mineralization in the northwest zone occurs along the eastern side of a large quartz monzonite intrusive, |
| |
|
|
e) |
A strong chargeability/conductivity anomaly has been outlined over a 600m strike length and a width of up to 900m in the southeast zone. The chargeability anomaly is open along strike in both directions and shows a strong correlation with strong iron stained rocks (commonly referred to as a gossan) and the copper-gold-molybdenum-silver soil anomaly, and |
| |
|
|
f) |
The chargeability anomaly on the southeast zone coincides with potassic altered intrusive rock and Stuhini volcanic rocks. Historical sample results include 5.16 g/t gold (grab sample), 6.7% copper, 65.4 g/t silver and 0.2 g/t gold over a 3 m chip sample and 12.5% copper over a 0.5 m long chip sample occur with the chargeability anomaly. |
Titan-24 DCIP and MT Geophysical Survey:
The Titan-24 survey consisted of five survey lines that ranged in length from 1.4 to 2.0 kms (8.4 kms). The lines were completed at 400m spaced line; three lines were completed on the northwest anomaly and two lines were completed on the southeast anomaly.
