Commander Resources has begun the work recently at the Stump Lake gold property, which is situated 25 km to the southern part of Kamloops.
Drilling can be performed continually in this gold property that covers more than 57 sq. km area. The company has discovered the a gold-bearing breccia unit that is spread over a strike of length 1.2 km in a partial outcrop, including the range of gold from 0.5 to 6 g/t. Currently, the length of the gold mineralization strike has been widened to more than 2.5 km through this new work.
A 20 day campaign was completed by a group of prospectors in early summer and gathered soil and rock chip samples from the west portion of the claims. Depending on that work results, a team of soil samplers, geologists and prospectors have started the work during August end in order to complete a thorough prospecting and follow-up soil sampling campaign at a 100 x 50 m spaced grid that encloses the whole strike length of the mineralized trend. In this program, Commander will gather around 2,000 soil samples. In addition, the geological mapping program is advancing but the revelation of the available outcrop is restricted to the slope’s irregular breaks at the flat Interior plateau.
Commander has gathered 59 rock chip samples through the prospecting campaign conducted during 2011 and these samples were unearthed by rough, carbonate-quartz breccia that includes copious fracture-fillings and stockwork of chalcedonic quartz layers.
The location of the breccia bodies are at the west edge of a Triassic Nicola volcanics block, which is a fault-bounded uplift that is put beside mature and arc-associated volcanics with undeveloped granitoid intrusives. The Moore Creek Fault outlines the western border of the block below 1 km from the Stump Lake showings.
Initial analysis of local magnetic information shows a sequence of small intrusives, which are underlying the potential area of gold. The company is performing a ground magnetic survey and has scheduled an induced polarization survey in this fall. All the gathered information during the early fall and summer will be accumulated and analyzed to discover and prioritize the drill targets.
