SKRR holds the exclusive option to earn up to a 75% interest in the 9,392ha property by completing
The inaugural drill program on the Leland property was carried out in January-February, 2021 and tested approximately 1 km of strike length of a gold-mineralized shear system defined by surface rock grab and trenching, soil geochemistry and detailed airborne (drone) magnetic survey data. All nine holes intersected either quartz veining or sulphide bearing shears and analytical results ranged from trace values to a high of 635ppb Au over 1.5m from 47.9 - 49.4m in LE21004.
Earlier trenching at the Michelle-Irving and Simon areas has identified both steep conformable NW-trending veins and a second set of shallow north-dipping veins. Preliminary conclusions from recent drilling suggest that gold distribution along the Irving-Simon trend likely has a strong mineralization control related to the intersection of these steep and shallow vein sets. Future drilling will be designed to anticipate and target these shoots.
Analytical Methods and QA/QC Procedures
Geological and geotechnical logging and core sampling were completed at a facility on the Leland property. Assay intervals were based on visual identification of mineralization, presence and density of quartz veins and lithological boundaries. Terralogic Exploration geologists maintained chain of custody and sampling procedures reported in this news release according to best industry practice and with due attention to quality assurance and quality control, including sampling field duplicates and insertion of certified standard and blank samples.
Samples were sent for geochemical analysis with ALS Global,
On receipt of final certificates of analysis, the QA/QC sample results were reviewed to ensure the order of samples were reported correctly, that the blanks ran clean, and that the results for each standard had minimal variance from its certified value. QA/QC for the Leland Drilling Program included certified reference material ('CRM's') and blanks that were inserted into each sample batch in order to verify the analytical from the lab. The CRM's from all holes reported passed within 3 standard deviations and the blanks returned acceptable values. All of the lab internal standards and duplicates were within acceptable values.
