Playfair to Drill Seal Lake Copper-Silver Project
December 13 2010 - 8:00AM
Marketwired
Playfair Mining Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: PLY) will drill its 100% owned
copper-silver Seal Lake project located in central Labrador,
Canada. Playfair has executed a drill contract to begin Phase 1
drilling at Seal Lake, designed to test the continuity of known
mineralization in two areas centred approximately 25 km apart.
The planned program will consist of 4,000m of drilling to test
the basin-wide continuity of copper-silver occurrences previously
drilled in 1956 and 1972. The first target area is located near the
west end of the property. Drilling in this area will test a 10km
strike length with holes spaced 1km apart. The second target area
is located near the east end of the property. Drilling in the
second area will test a 5km strike length with holes spaced 1km
apart.
Highlights of previous work on the property are 6.4m of 2.5%
Copper at Adeline Island, 11.3m of 1.0% Copper and 30.4 gpt Silver
(including 4.9m of 2.5% Copper and 93.0 gpt Silver) at Ellis, 6km
East of Adeline Island and 11.0m of 2.9% Copper and 45.9 gpt Silver
at Whiskey Lake, about 30 km East of Adeline Island.
Seal Lake copper-silver mineralization covers a large area in
the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador. Some 136 copper-silver
occurrences, showings and prospects are known on Playfair's 16,825
Ha property. The majority of the 16 showings and 9 prospects occur
within a consistent and laterally extensive stratigraphic horizon -
the basal gray shale of the Upper Adeline Island Formation. The
overall stratigraphy and host rocks at Seal Lake are similar to the
rocks hosting the world-famous White Pine copper-silver district in
Michigan.
In addition to the Seal Lake copper-silver exploration
opportunity, Playfair has four properties with substantial
high-grade tungsten deposits. Playfair continues to believe that
there is a strong case for an impending global Tungsten shortage,
as is evidenced by the continued strong rebound in the price of
Tungsten which has recently increased by over 50% to an all-time
high price of $325 per MTU.
