Magnetotelluric Survey Begins at Teuton’s Del Norte Property in the Golden Triangle
August 24 2016 - 8:30AM
Teuton Resources Corp. (“Teuton”) (TSX-V:TUO)
(Frankfurt:TFE) (OTCBB:TEUTF) is pleased to announce that a
magnetotelluric (“MT”) survey is under way at its Del Norte
property, located east of Stewart, BC. Simcoe Geoscience Ltd.
has been contracted to manage and interpret the survey using Riaz
Mirza, a senior geophysicist, the same person who interpreted MT
surveys for Seabridge Gold on their KSM property and for Pretium
Resources on their Brucejack property. Simcoe is also
managing and interpreting a very recently completed MT survey on
Teuton’s joint ventured Treaty Creek property for Tudor Gold and
also on Teuton’s farmed-out Orion property, also for Tudor
Gold. All properties are within the Golden Triangle
region of northwestern British Columbia.
Teuton is running the MT survey on its 100%
owned Del Norte property. Recent visual observations of drill
core suggest a copper porphyry system may underlie the
claims. Holes DN16-03 to 05 inclusive, recently drilled at
varying angles from the same pad and with the same azimuth, all
intersected extensive intervals containing pyrite and chalcopyrite
mineralization. All three holes ended in
mineralization. The steepest of the holes was drilled at
minus 72 degrees and was stopped at 1338 feet at the limit of the
drill. K-feldspar alteration and chalcopyrite content is most
prevalent in the deeper sections of the holes. The host
appears to be an altered intrusive.
Photographs of selected portions from the core
will be made available for viewing on the Company’s website,
www.teuton.com, once logging and diamond sawing of the core has
been completed. Samples are expected to be shipped to the
assay lab within a week.
An MT survey is a geophysical technique that
measures fluctuations in naturally occurring electrical and
magnetic fields. The most notable example of its successful
use in the Golden Triangle has been at Seabridge Gold’s KSM
property where it helped to outline much higher-grade “core” zones
underlying the Kerr and Iron Cap copper-gold, porphyry
deposits.
It is hoped that the MT survey now being used at
the Del Norte can help determine both the zonation of the porphyry
system and whether any core zone underlies it. It is likely
that the recent drilling in Holes DN16-03 to 05 lies on the
periphery of such a system. There can be no guarantee
that the MT survey will emulate any of the success achieved
elsewhere in the Golden Triangle.
D. Cremonese, P.Eng., president of Teuton,
commented as follows: “Because of the positive visual results from
drilling at the second pad at Del Norte, we doubled the drilling
allocation at this property. The fact that we are seeing more
intense K-feldspar alteration along with increased chalcopyrite at
depth is very encouraging. Not many mineralized systems are
still open to further extension at almost a thousand feet vertical,
so we decided to bring in the MT equipment to help determine
whether or not we were onto something big.”
Update on Exploration Progress at the
Big Gold, Pearson, Four J’s and Treaty Creek
properties
Big Gold property--A drill has been mobilized to
Teuton 100%-owned Big Gold property. Drilling will proceed
today, testing for subsurface continuations of anomalous gold and
silver mineralization disclosed on surface.
Pearson property--Previous geophysical and
geochemical data from work done on the Pearson property by former
owner Castle Resources has been turned over to Teuton
Resources. Kevin Killin, a senior geophysicist with Simcoe
Geoscience Ltd. is reviewing the data and will complete a report
detailing drill targets by the end of the month. Based on the
findings in the report and additional sampling/mapping, it is
expected that the property will be ready for drilling by
mid-September. The most likely target is the 2km long “North
EM Zone” geophysical anomaly previously identified by Castle.
Four J’s property--Rotation Minerals, optionee
of Teuton’s Four J’s property, will drill a target lying close to a
prominent airborne anomaly within the next two weeks. The
agreement between Teuton and Rotation was recently amended to allow
more time to carry out work program commitments.
Treaty Creek joint venture property--Drilling
has now begun on the Treaty Creek joint venture. Tudor Gold,
operator of the joint venture, is reportedly moving a second drill
into the property. Teuton holds a 20% carried interest in the
joint venture.
