Chargeability

The objective of 23R-001 (Figure 3) is to test a TMI magnetic low associated with a zone of high magnetization, coinciding with a strong chargeability anomaly.

These black sand units correlate with chargeability anomalies identified in the IP Pole-Dipole surveys covering the area (see September 19, 2019 News Release, filed on SEDAR).

Plans include prioritizing those targets that are known to be associated with chargeability high and anomalous rock chip samples from previous trenching and historic workings.

The sulphide zone intersected in hole SAL 04-22 coincides well with the chargeability anomaly.

An IP survey is a geophysical imaging technique used to identify the electrical chargeability of subsurface materials such as ore.

Evolution of the porphyry system resulted in the formation of sulphide mineralization as indicated by the chargeability anomaly and intensity of mineralized veins (formerly pyrite veins) exposed in a portion of the Copper Creek intrusive.
