In order to perform the Stage 1 Exploration Program, Azincourt Resources has started mobilizing field staff on the Forgold Property, which features a claim block that is asymmetrical in shape.
This block is 18 km long and 4 km wide enclosing Forrest Kerr Creek about 20 km north of the Iskut River in Northwest British Columbia.
The claims, which connect to the southeastern and southern boundaries of the RDN property, enclose a package of potential rock units that are situated over north to north east trending deformation zone called the Forest Kerr Fault(FKF) Zone. Kiska Metals owns the RDN property.
Underlying rock units include poly-deformed Paleozoic aged Stikine Assemblage meta-sedimentary and meta-volcanic rocks, Lower to Middle Jurassic Aged volcanic rocks, which are connected to the Eskay Creek Horizon, and Upper Triassic sedimentary and volcanic rocks. The Lower to Middle Jurassic aged and Upper Triassic rocks are infringed by Early to Middle Jurassic plugs, stocks and sills and are related to vein style mineralization precious metal in the Iskut River District.
According to the British Columbia Geological Survey (BCGS), in 1991 High Frontier Resources and Noranda performed drilling on the RDN Property at the Boundary Zone and encountered an 11.6 m interval averaging 23.9 g/t gold. To evaluate prospective continuity of the Boundary Zone onto the claims, previous owners GoldFields Canadian Mining and Ecstall Mining performed a soil geochemical survey and a follow up campaign of drill testing.
Azincourt Resources completed a geochemical survey whose results have validated significant gold and base metal anomalies. Huge regions of the central portion of the Forgold Property include increased precious and base metal values in soils. Goldfields and Ecstall’s limited drill program do not seem to have analyzed these values.
Detailed soil sampling in the central part of the Forgold Property will be performed to outline important target regions for follow-up trenching and exploration work so as to evaluate target regions discovered in the southwestern and northeastern sections of the Forgold Property.
