Mountain Boy Minerals: Update on Company Drill Programs - New High-Grade Sub-Surface Zone Identified at Silver Coin Gold Proj...
October 12 2017 - 8:30AM
Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd (TSX-V:MTB)
(Frankfurt:M9U) (“Mountain Boy”) reports that 3 different
drill programs are ongoing on its properties located in the “Golden
Triangle” area of British Columbia. Drill programs are underway on
three properties which Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd has an interest,
including a 20% carried interest in the Silver Coin, a 35% interest
in the Red Cliff and a 100% of the BA/Surprise Creek property.
Silver Coin
The Company has completed, logged and sampled 10
diamond drill holes to date on the 2017 program. Focus is on
extending and upgrading lenses of known high-grade gold
mineralization within the Main Breccia Zone to the northwest as
well as testing additional targets along strike to the south and
potential sub-parallel zones to the east. Historical total inferred
mineral resource estimate for the high-grade core at Silver Coin
consists of 967,000 tonnes grading 4.39 g/t Au, 18.98 g/t Ag (Au
equivalent of Ag – 4.64 g/t), 0.64% Zn, 0.25% Pb, and 0.04%. This
was calculated in accordance with National Instrument 43-101
standards, at a 2 g/t Au cut-off by Mining Plus Canada - August,
2013 and filed on SEDAR by the operator. A qualified person has not
done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current
mineral resources. The Company is not treating the historical
estimate as current mineral resources.
2017 Drilling Highlights are as follows:
- SC17-442: Intersected a new high-grade zone at
surface and continuity of main zone at depth.
- SC17-443: Intersected a new high-grade zone at
surface and a broad westerly extension of the main breccia zone at
depth.
- The Program has completed 10 holes to date with a total of
5,300 feet drilled.
- Drilling targets are complete on the NW extension of the Silver
Coin property and focus has now moved on to parallel mineralized
trends to the East.

- Stated lengths are core width as drilled, true widths
vary and average between 60 and 80 percent of drilled widths. Core
axis angles of the intersection contacts and surrounding rock units
average 40 to 70 degrees.- A plan map outlining the 2017
target areas and drill section associated with this news release
will be posted on the Company website when available.-
Actlabs in Kamloops BC analyzed the core.
In conjunction with the 2017 drilling campaign,
crews are conducting regional exploration work to define additional
drill targets out of the current area of focus.
The 1,470 hectare Silver Coin gold project
features a zone of faulting and brecciation with accompanying
mineralization up to 300 meters wide that has been traced for 2.5
kilometers. Significant exploration potential remains to the north,
northwest and south of the existing resource at Silver Coin, and
will be tested in this year’s drilling.
Mineralization is characterized as epithermal to
mesothermal gold-silver with sulfide- bearing breccias and veins
similar to those mined at the Silbak-Premier Mine, located just 4
kilometers to the south. Over its mine life, the Silbak-Premier
Mine produced 4.7 million tonnes yielding approximately 2 million
ounces gold, 43 million ounces silver, 4 million pounds copper, 55
million pounds lead and 20 million pounds zinc.
The program underway will consist of
approximately 2000 m of drilling and will focus on extending and
upgrading lenses of known high grade gold mineralization within the
Main Breccia Zone to the northwest as well as testing additional
targets along strike to the south and potential sub-parallel zone
to the East.
Surprise Creek
On the Ataman zone, 2 holes in the 2017 drill
program have been completed in order to test and sample the large
barite-sulphide zone within the Kuroko type VMS horizon. The Ataman
zone has been defined over 600 m of height, 600 m of width and over
250 m of length. Both holes have intersected a wide zone of
barite-sulphide mineralization. The drilling was designed to only
test the SE portions of this wide zone. The second drill hole has
intersected 2 different sulphide rich zones as well as the wide
barite-sulphide zone. Core is being logged and cut and subsequently
sent to Actlabs in Kamloops BC.
Red Cliff
Exploration to date has consisted of drilling,
mapping, sampling and assaying additional core from the 2007-2012
programs. Drilling has been aimed at checking for extensions of the
copper rich Red Cliff zone as well as extending the Montrose
gold-copper zone. To date 5 holes were completed on the Red Cliff
zone and 31 holes on the Montrose zone, approximately 1.2 km north
from the first 5 holes. The Company plans to drill one to two holes
on the Montrose zone north of Lydden Canyon and 8 holes on the
Waterpump zone. Drilling, logging of core and cutting is ongoing
and is expected to continue for at least the next month. To date
assays have been received for only 5 holes from the Red Cliff zone
and 5 holes from the Montrose zone.
Samples for the 2017 exploration program are cut
in half with a diamond saw, with one- half placed in sealed bags
and shipped to ActLabs in Kamloops, B.C., for sample preparation
and for gold and multielement ICP analysis. A quality
control/quality assurance program, including the insertion of
standards and blanks, has been implemented.
