Past work on the Cornwall Property has outlined a 2.4km long north-northwest trending linear copper-in-soil anomaly. Zinc, lead, and barium in soil define a linear feature of similar dimension and orientation, which is offset roughly 175m to the west of the copper horizon. This second feature has coincident chargeability, TEM, and magnetic anomalies, suggesting potential for massive sulphide mineralization.
The copper showings on the Cornwall Property consist of pyrite and chalcopyrite hosted in a quartz-rich amphibolite. Mineralization is consistent with Besshi or
The copper horizon is clearly delineated by copper-in-soil anomalies in both the 1997 and 2011 surveys. The Zn-Pb-Ba anomaly is coincident with a distinct linear chargeability anomaly defined in a 1997 survey conducted by
The linear conductor in the
Target 1: possesses a number of encouraging coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies and is considered drill ready. Three proposed drill holes totalling 1,000 m are shown on Figure 1.
Target 2: is a strong chargeability anomaly with coincident zinc-in-soil and magnetic susceptibility anomalies very similar to Target 1. It is possible that this is a continuation of the tentative mineralized horizon located in the Target 1 area which is offset along a northeast trending fault.
Target 3: possesses coincident chargeability, magnetic, and barium anomalies, and is possibly a northwest striking continuation of Target 1.
Targets 4 and 5: are isolated small conductors defined by the TEM survey that was conducted north of
