Churchill Outlines Large Conductor Targets Beneath Layden Intrusive at Taylor Brook Project
September 07 2023 - 6:15AM
Churchill Resources Inc. (“
Churchill” or the
“
Company”) (
TSXV: CRI) is pleased
to announce results from its Hybrid Controlled Source
Audio-Magnetotelluric (“Hybrid CSAMT”) survey carried out over the
Layden Intrusive at Taylor Brook. The data suggests that multiple
large conductor targets are present beneath Layden, hosted by
similar and related magmatic rocks, below all drilling to date.
Sizes of the conductor targets are significant, ranging up to
several hundred metres long by >100m wide by >100m thick.
Paul Sobie, CEO of Churchill stated, “The Hybrid
CSAMT survey has proven successful at allowing us to see beneath
Layden, and critically in identifying compelling, large conductor
targets (the orange – very low resistivity units in figures below)
for the deeper drilling we’ve been preparing for. The two vertical
sections show the large volume of magmatic intrusive rock (the blue
– low resistivity units) extending from Layden to depths of ~1000m,
which emphasizes the huge scale of the Layden Intrusive Trend.
We’ve always felt that the high-grade sulphides (best intercept
2.79%Ni / 4.44m) and extensive mineralized breccia exposed at
Layden is part of a much larger system, and this survey is helping
to confirm our model.”
The survey was specifically designed to better
define the Layden Intrusive with depth by reading from 175 stations
nominally 50m apart along a grid-lines over an area of ~800m by
800m per the figure. The survey lines consistently show the area
south of the outcropping Layden gabbronorite hosting large, very
weak resistive units (i.e. conductor targets), starting at ~-400m
which exceeds depths drilled to date.
Going forward the Company will be expanding this
successful Hybrid CSAMT survey and integrating the detailed data
into a comprehensive 3-D model to better define the extent of the
newly defined deeper potential mineralization at Layden.
Line-cutting and similar surveys will be carried out over the
priority high nickel soil anomalies at LIT-1 and TBSL-1, in
preparing those areas for drilling later this year. As well we
intend to commission an airborne Mobile MT survey which will
compliment and expand the ground CSAMT coverage along the entire
Layden Intrusive Trend and the western margins of the Taylor Brook
Gabbro Complex, to identify new conductor target areas along with
our soil sampling.
Taylor Brook ProjectThe Taylor
Brook Project consists of nine 100% Churchill-owned map-staked
licenses containing 705 claims totalling 176.25 km2. Altius retains
a 1.6% gross sales royalty on the Churchill licenses, and a 2.0%
NSR is retained by two local prospectors on two small licenses
totalling 4.75km2. Churchill’s 2023 program at Taylor Brook
includes property-wide soil sampling and prospecting, a CSAMT
survey over the Layden Gabbronorite, completing the high-resolution
detailed aeromagnetic coverage of the South Lobe area,
stripping/trenching, and diamond drilling.

About Churchill Resources Inc.
Churchill Resources Inc. is a Canadian
exploration company focused on developing high grade, magmatic
nickel sulphide mineralization in Canada, principally at its
prospective Taylor Brook and Florence Lake properties in
Newfoundland & Labrador. The Churchill management
team, board, and its advisors have decades of combined management
experience in mineral exploration and in the establishment of
successful publicly listed mining companies, both in Canada and
around the world. Churchill’s Taylor Brook and Florence Lake
projects have the potential to benefit from the province’s large
and diversified minerals industry, which includes worldclass nickel
mines and processing facilities, and a well-developed mineral
exploration sector with locally based drilling and geological
expertise. The province was recently ranked 4th in the world for
investment attractiveness by the Fraser Institute in its 2022
annual survey of mining and exploration companies.
