High-grade Au-Ag mineralization encountered in holes J20-33 and J20-34 is interpreted to represent possible feeder mineralization for an exhalative Eskay Creek type system, possibly situated somewhat higher up the stratigraphic section in close vicinity to the drill hole locations.
TV and Jeff targets are approximately 1.8 km apart. TV and Jeff may well be geologically connected and part of a larger approximately 6 km long corridor along which numerous electrically conductive anomalies occur.
Mineralization encountered to date ... same host rocks hosting the Eskay Creek Deposit approximately 13 km to the north.
Both the TV and Jeff deposits are wide open along strike, down dip and up section.
Eskay’s 2020 drill program is the first to be undertaken in this area since the early to mid-1990’s when a few scattered holes were drilled at these targets. This was at a time when the geology of the Eskay Creek deposit was not all that well understood.
These discoveries confirm the presence of new Eskay Creek type massive sulphide deposits .The Company plans an aggressive +30,000 m drill program in 2021 to follow up on the TV and Jeff discoveries and to also test at least another dozen high priority drill targets.
Quinton Hennigh presented a Leapfrog 3D model today in Crescat Capital's presentation, and the excitement is evident. Captured a few highlights but it's best, if you are interested, to watch the entire section starting at 42 minutes.
Some highlights from Quinton's presentation:
1) SkyTem data - shows rocks that are conductive and maybe related to sluphides. Looks like the mouth of a crocodile (East and West side of anticline, in purple), the 'teeth' are interpreted to be to be VMS feeder zones. Two 'crocodile teeth' drilled (TV and Jeff) in 2020.
2) What has been drilled thus far is a very small portion of the footprint. It's wide open at depth. Mineralization can go on deeper (much deeper perhaps)
Not closed off at all, below is a 3D Figure of Jeff. The 35m intercept in the Feb 2 news release, is likely to continue down dip (see red arrows) - has not been delineated in any way (no drilling yet).
3) All the intercepts found thus far at Jeff (from #2) are in the feeder zone (conical shaped). As you work up the hill, Quinton theorizes that the VMS system will be hiding under the Bowser Lake rocks.
Jeff: Need to put a drill up on the ridge (Purple area) and drill holes down, and we may find a preserved VMS system underneath the cap.
Even the feeder zone is high grade... what could be down dip?
4) Same thing at TV - wide open and dipping into the ground. All the white circles are targets and likely areas of sulphides.
Following is undrilled but Quinton believes this is also a feeder zone (same shape/signature as TV + JEFF)
Hope you enjoyed the article - please let me know if you have any feedback/comments.
