FINLAY MINERALS LTD. Finlay Minerals has conducted a comprehensive review of its Silver Hope Property near Houston, BC. This comprehensive review, which included the analysis of 179 drill holes, previous surveys, and the 2023 ALS GoldSpot Prospectivity Report, has led to the identification of seven robust priority targets. Priority Targets: The possible extensions of the Main Trend and West Cu-Mo Porphyry mineralized zones to the southwest.
Identification of the East Trend 1 and East Trend 2 targets, which have similar geochemical and geophysical signatures as the Main Trend. The Zest target now includes the former Equity Silver Mine and extends on to the Silver Hope Property. The Equity East target has surface geochemical and geophysical characteristics similar to the Zest showing and target.
The Dina East target has overlapping polymetallic vein and porphyry targets generated by ALS Goldspot and has had little to no exploration work. In the East Trend, both East Trend 1 (ET1) and East Trend 2 (ET2) have biogeochemical and soil Hg anomalies similar to those found in the Main Trend. The ET1 target is directly east of the Main Trend and could represent the faulted-off portion of the Main Trend and the Gaul and Superstition Zones.
ET1 was identified as a target based on ALS GoldSpot targeting, high chargeability, low resistivity, and past drilling. The ET2 target is roughly 1,000-1,500m east of the Main Trend and occurs along a NNE trend similar to the Main Trend and ET1. The Zest Target is an important prospect due to previous drilling intersecting comparable mineralization styles of copper, silver, and gold, along with Skeena Group lithology, like that of the former Equity Silver Mine.
The Equity East target is north of the Zest target. ALS GoldSpot has identified this zone as having the potential for hosting Equity-style mineralization, high chargeability, and moderate resistivity. The Dina East target is untested and has seen little to no exploration activity due to its previous heavily forested nature.
Recent logging activity has opened the area, providing easier access with logging roads. ALS GoldSpot identified overlapping polymetallic and porphyry targets along a NNE trending structure similar to the Main Trend.
