Serengeti Resources, a mineral exploration firm, has reported that drilling campaign results have been obtained from Choo and Tchentlo properties. These properties are situated towards the western part of the Mount Milligan mine development project in British Columbia. Freeport-McMoRan of Canada (FMCC) funded this drilling program.
The company encountered structurally controlled mineralization in a hole drilled at Tchentlo, including 8.4 g/t silver, 0.05% molybdenum, 0.81 g/t gold and 0.73% copper over 3.2 m, and intercepted mineralized gold in three extensively separated holes located at the Choo property, including 1.53 g/t gold over 4 m.
Serengeti specifically drilled 2842 m, totaling 12 holes, to examine seven separate target areas during the campaign. A magnetic anomaly and strong induced polarization together with copper-gold-molybdenum-platinum soil anomalies were examined by three holes, T-12-04, 05, 5A, drilled at the Tchentlo property.
The hole T-12-04 yielded scattered gold anomalism. Holes T-05, 5A, which were collared from the similar drilling set-up, intercepted numerous structurally controlled copper-moly mineralization zones present in gabbro and diorites.
Gold-anomalous intervals were encountered in three broadly-spaced holes drilled at the Choo property and these holes returned 1.53 g/t gold over 4 m, 0.66 g/t gold over 5 m and 0.55 g/t gold over 8 m adjacent to the contacts of feldspar or andesite porphyry dykes.
The company is combining the results obtained from the newly completed drilling campaign with the remaining exploration data and is assessing those results to find the exact follow-up campaign.
