Miza II Resources Inc. announced commencement of an initial field program on its Le Mare copper-gold property located in northwest Vancouver Island. The program will include a detailed airborne radiometric and magnetometer survey. This will be followed by detailed geological mapping and structural studies.

Also included in the planned program is a LiDAR survey. About Le Mare Cu-Au Project: The Le Mare property comprises 12 map-staked claims covering 2677.24 hectares (6615.60 acres) in the Nanaimo Mining Division. The Le Mare hydrothermal system is located on Crown land in the southwestern part of the property area.

The property is located near the northwestern end of Vancouver Island. It is bounded in part to the west by the Pacific Ocean and to the north by Quatsino Sound. A massif in the northwestern part of the property culminates in the peak of Mount Bury at an elevation of about 610 m (2,000 ft).

Another massif that hosts the Le Mare property hydrothermal system occupies the property's southwestern part. The project area is underlain by mostly mafic volcanic rocks of the Early to Middle Jurassic-age Bonanza Supergroup, including auto-breccias, lahars, and minor amounts of tuff and other pyroclastic beds. Rhyolitic rocks comprise a major amount of the stratigraphy in the property-area.

These volcanic rocks are intruded by felsic dykes that may be equivalent to the rhyodacitic porphyries that are associated with mineralization at the Island Copper Cluster deposits located about 32 km (19.3 miles) east-northeast of the Le Mare property hydrothermal system (Figure 10). The volcanic rocks at the Le Mare property hydrothermal system have deformed into a series of open to close outcrop-scale drape-folds related to local intrusion. Regional and contact metamorphism does not exceed lower the greenschist facies.

The Le Mare hydrothermal system appears to have been unroofed to a shallow depth by erosion which has exposed various hydrothermal alteration zones typically found within and surrounding mineralized (primarily copper) alteration zones. The top of the potassic alteration zone is exposed along the crests of Le Mare and Gooding ridges, located between Le Mare Lake and Gooding Cove in the southwestern part of the property. Local magnetic field gradient indicates that this system occupies a 5 X 3 km oval-shaped area, that may be hosted by a dilational jog in a regional right-lateral fault system.

The proposed fault system is similar to the one that hosts the Island Copper Cluster deposits near Port McNeil! and Port Hardy, British Columbia.
