Lions Gate Metals has confirmed the continuous availability of copper and silver mineralization in the depth and length of the Main and East zones of the Poplar Copper-Gold-Silver Porphyry Property.
The outcome was based on the phase two diamond drill program, which was conducted at the four additional holes in the property, which includes 11-PC-120, 11-PC-106, 11-PC-119 and 11-PC-115. From the NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource area, considerable amount of Ag and CuEq were acquired from drilling.
The drilling program was modeled to analyze and expand the mineralization limits of the property, increase tonnage, improve the copper grade and to achieve the typical silver and gold content, which are not incorporated in NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 1.4 billion pounds of copper. The intersection of the drill provided the actual width of the zones. The program was over by November 2011.
The samples from the property were collected and analyzed at the Acmelabs in Vancouver. The samples were sent in batches and each batch of 20 samples contained a blank, a duplicate and a standard of the company. R200-250 protocol for sample preparation, 1Ex technique for sample digestion and analysis and G601 technique for gold determination were used.
Paul Sarjeant, President and CEO of Lions Gate stated that the program was a sequential step out drilling in planned localities along the inferred resource area. A constant and extensive mineralization outcome was emerged by mapping and analyzing the holes. The existing limits of the East and Main zones have been exceeded by the 11-PC-120 and11-PC-115 holes and an expanded limit towards the South in the 11-PC-119 hole was observed and additional drilling can be done in the southern limits of the East and Main zones.
