During Starcore’s September 2021 limited field program, rock and soil sampling have revealed the potential for precious and base metal potential beyond the limits of the known molybdenum mineralization.
Three rock samples collected from mineralization exposed in old pits along the south spine of Mt. McGuire, about 1.3Â km from the known molybdenum mineralization, assayed up to 4.1 grams per tonne (g/t) silver, 0.23% copper, over limit for analysis method (greater than 100Â g/t) tungsten and 794Â g/t cobalt. In addition, two quartz veins sampled downslope from these pits assayed over limit (greater than 100Â g/t) silver and over limit (greater than 1%) lead and zinc and over limit (greater than 0.2%) bismuth. These samples have been resubmitted to the lab for analyses using an ore grade methodology. Mineralization sampled in the vicinity of a documented BC MINFILE occurrence Ida, northeast of Mt. McGuire peak, assayed over limit (greater than 100Â g/t) tungsten, 1.1Â g/t silver and anomalous molybdenum and copper.
Soil sampling during the 2021 fieldwork identified two areas to the southwest of the known molybdenum mineralization. The North Anomaly, as defined by the 50 ppm molybdenum in soil contour, is 300 metres (m) long by 500Â m wide. It trends westerly and is open along strike to the east and west. The South Anomaly is a 700Â m long and open up to 500Â m wide, east-west trend of anomalous gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, cobalt and arsenic in-soil values.
