Mountain Boy Announces Drilling on the Montrose Zone Intersects Visible Gold in 3rd Hole Within a Wide Mineralized Intrusive ...
July 05 2017 - 8:01AM
Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd (“Mountain Boy”) (TSX-V:MTB)
(Frankfurt:M9U) reports that Phase I drilling is continuing on
the Red Cliff property. On the Red Cliff project, the Company and
Decade Resources are in joint venture on the Crown Granted portion
of the property which is owned 65% by Decade and 35% by Mountain
Boy. The Silver Crown 6 claim, in which Decade is earning a 100 %
interest, is adjacent to the north portion of the crown grants. To
the north of the Silver Crown 6 claim, Mountain Boy owns a 100 %
interest in the MB property. The Red Cliff Extension claim owned
100 % by Decade is along the east side of the Silver Crown 6 claim.
Drilling on the Montrose zone has intersected a
wide mineralized intrusive within red tuffs forming the Betty Creek
formation. The Company has used a just completed petrographic study
which is greatly aiding the 2017 exploration. Based on thin
sections examination of mineralized rocks from both the Red Cliff
zone and Montrose zone, the following information was obtained:
1) Mineralization is associated with intrusions
of porphyritic latite to trachyte. 2) Late
alteration-mineralization events led to the deposition of quartz,
carbonates, pyrite, magnetite, chalcopyrite, galena, specularite,
sphalerite and gold. 3) The presence of magnetite and Fe-rich
chlorite as well as an undulating, wavy pattern of some the veins
indicates a high temperature (hypothermal) environment.
Using this information, the Company has
continued drilling holes which still contained the intrusive
whether it was mineralized or not. As a result, all holes on the
Montrose were continued past areas where previous drilling would
have been terminated. All three holes completed on the Montrose
zone contain visible gold at depths deeper than expected. The 3
holes have tested a zone up to 150 m in vertical height in an area
that had not been tested previously.
The latest hole drilled at minus 50 degrees and
at right angles to the zone was off the same set-up as hole 1 and
2. It intersected almost 100 metres of weakly sheared and
brecciated intrusive with mineral zonation occurring from 150 to
250m in depth. Along the upper intersection, weak disseminated
pyrite is present with local
quartz-amethyst-galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite-pyrite stringers in
zones up to 5 m. At 163 m core length, fine visible gold is noted
in galena-sphalerite stringers. From the top mineralized zone,
short galena-sphalerite sections are noted to 218 m where the hole
intersects a 18 m section of
quartz-amethyst-galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite-pyrite stringers. At
227 and 229 m, visible gold is noted within the galena-sphalerite
veinlets. At the termination of the galena-sphalerite veinlets,
chalcopyrite-pyrite veining is present along the bottom chill
margin of the intrusive as well as the baked contact of the red
tuff. The chalcopyrite-pyrite veining is present over a 10 m
length. True width of the intrusive appears to be at least 70 m in
DDH-Mon-17-3. Photos of the gold bearing galena stringers as well
as chalcopyrite-pyrite stringers are included below.

On the Red Cliff zone, located 900 m south of
the Montrose drilling, the Company has completed 3 holes. The holes
contain a 5-6 m wide mineralized zone with strong
chalcopyrite-pyrite within quartz veins and silicified
intrusive.
