VANCOUVER, BC, March 29, 2021 /CNW/ - Cache Exploration Inc.
(the "Company" or "Cache") (TSXV: CAY) is pleased to
announce that the Company has completed the definitive agreement to
acquire a 100% option on the Marmot Precious Metals Project
("Marmot" the "Property" or the "Project")
located in the Golden Triangle British Columbia, Canada and held by
Granby Gold Corp ("Granby"), an arms-length private
company.
CEO of Cache Exploration Inc., Jack
Bal states "Minerals explorers are piling up into
British Columbia's Golden Trangle, with serveral companies showing
massive discovery potential.The Marmot project covers over 4000
hectares and has over 10 minfile references, including the past
producer Montana (Ag, Au, Cu, Pb,
Zn) mine. The Company will mobilize a work program as soon as the
weather allows. We are very excited to be involved in such a
promising project"

Marmot Overview
The 4049 hectare Project is located roughly six kilometers from
the town of Stewart, British
Columbia in the southeast part of a mineral-rich belt of
Stikine terrane rocks that lies along the eastern flank of the
Coast Mountains. The belt lies between the Iskut and Kitsault-Anyox areas and is centred
on the town of Stewart, British
Columbia.
Both the Unuk River and Salmon River Members of the Lower to
MiddIe Jurassic Hazelton Group are present on the Property.
Voluminous resistant volcanic and associated volcaniclastic strata
predominate in the area. The youngest volcanic members are bimodal,
consisting mainly of basalt and rhyolite. Middle to Upper Jurassic
Bowser Lake Group clastic rocks that conformably overlie the
Hazelton Group may also be present.
The Eskay Creek mine of Skeena Resources Ltd. (formerly of
Barrick Gold Corporation) is an extremely rich and profitable Au-Ag
deposit near the northern end of the belt. The Eskay Creek deposit
is interpreted to have formed in an environment transitional
between subaqueous hot springs and exhalative volcanogenic massive
sulfide (VMS), and the geologic setting for the deposits similar to
that of the Property. 'Transitional' Eskay Creek-type deposits are
models for exploration on the Property.
The regional metallogenic picture of the Iskut-Anyox belt
suggests that potential also exists on the Property for the
occurrence of other mineralization types. These include more
typical VMS mineralization, possible 'transitional-type'
mineralization variously interpreted as veins or exhalative, both
Ag-rich, precious and base metal veins, porphyry-related and
shear-hosted mineralization.
Four mineral showings, four prospects, and one past-producer are
located within the survey area (MinFile records).

*Note that MinFile
coordinates are reportedly within 500m location accuracy
** Covered by the airborne geophysical survey but located outside
of the mineral tenements
|
A helicopter-borne magnetics and radiometrics survey was flown
over the mineral tenements during September
2018 by Granby. The
objective was the interpretation of the airborne geophysical data
to identify targets with response indicative of VMS style
mineralization. The geophysical signature of the known occurrences
was used as an analogue for identification of new targets. The
geophysical survey covered an area of approximately 30.6km2 on
flight lines oriented at 040° azimuth at 100m intervals, and orthogonal control lines at
1000m intervals, for a total of 337
line-kilometres.
Two magnetic targets are of particular interest, as they are
within the prospective Hazelton Group mixed volcanics and
sedimentary sequence, and display a strong, isolated magnetic
signature. What distinguishes these two targets is the relatively
low Koenigsberger ratio indicative of low magnetic remanence, which
suggests a different age of emplacement or subsequent alteration.
One pair of spatially related potassium and magnetic anomalies fits
the classical VMS geophysical exploration model (M-02 and K-05) and
is specifically recommended for further work. Other isolated and
discordant potassium anomalies are generally recommended for ground
truthing.

About Cache Exploration
Cache is a gold focused Company that holds and operates the
Kiyuk Lake Property which covers 590km2 in SW Nunavut:
the project features a number of gold bearing prospects including
2017 identification of 8m of 26.4 g/t gold at the Rusty
Zone and extensive mineralization at East Gold Point with 64
m at 1.5 g/t gold and 10 m at 6.5 g/t gold.
Extensive surficial float evidence indicates a series of
high-interest gold systems
(see www.cacheexploration.com/CAY-NR-10-26-17 to view plan
maps of Rusty Zone and East Gold Point, section showing select
KI17-004 and -005 drill results and Maps of rock and till sampling
results).
Drilling has discovered multiple gold intercepts over 1 g/t Au
in five discrete mineralized zones Rusty, Gold Point, East Gold
Point, Cobalt and Amundsen. Significant expansion possible with
five new target areas identified and ready for drilling.
Exploration at Kiyuk Lake takes place in winter-spring (February –
May) and summer-fall (June-October).
