Commodity: Poly-metallic base metals + gold (Zn-Cu-Pb-Ag-Au)
- 300 km west of St. John’s, readily accessible by paved roads and well-maintained, all-weather gravel roads
- Located in the world class poly-metallic Buchan’s mining camp with base metal and gold deposits
- The Buchan’s mining complex is located 16 km to northwest
- Duck Pond base metal deposit (Teck) is located 16 km to southeast
- Buchan’s Historical Production: 16.2 Mt from five ore bodies, averaging 14.5% Zn, 1.3% Cu, 7.6% Pb, 126 g/t Ag and 1.4 g/t Au
- Duck Pond Historical Production: 6.7 Mt averaging 4.3% Zn, 2.9% Cu, 0.8% Pb, 40 g/t Ag and 0.4 g/t Au
- Historic drilling at the Hungry Hill project intersected 10.84 m grading 3.06% Zn, 0.16% Cu, 20.9 g/t Ag and 0.81 g/t Au (HH97-16)
- In addition to geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys, 28 historic drill holes, totaling 8,667 m, have been completed on the property
- Critical Minerals Target – Cu, Zn, Pb, Au, Ag
- The Hungry Hill mineralization is an attractive, under-explored Critical Minerals target with many similarities to Buchans style polymetallic VMS mineralization
- Intersection of 3.06% Zn, 0.16% Cu, 20.9 g/t Ag and 0.81 g/t Au over 10.84 metres (HH97-16; 160.65-171.49m)
- A composite sample of mineralized clasts taken from surface boulders assayed 20.1% Zn, 12.1% Pb, 0.6% Cu, 66 g/t Ag, and 0.3 g/t Au
Exploration Plan and Budget
- Evaluate the 1,500 m long mineralized domain at Hungry Hill
- Drill test to confirm historic mineralized drill intersections
- Evaluate property scale mineral potential
- Total budget estimate – $350,000
Hungry Hill Target
- Induced polarization survey
- 5-10 drill holes, up to 1,500 m of drilling
- Expand mineralization along strike/down dip
- Complete downhole Pulse EM geophysics
Property Scale Exploration
- Expand ground coverage at other base metal targets
- UAV (drone) geophysics – magnetics
- Trenching/Pitting on base metal targets
- Surface sampling program
