VANCOUVER, Aug. 16, 2017 -
Glacier Lake Resources Inc. (TSXV:GLI) (“Glacier” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced the 2017 first pass exploration program on its Silver Vista property near Smithers, British Columbia. The multiple objectives of the first pass program are to verify access into the various parts of the property, locate the main showings and prospect favourable areas identified by
Amarc Resources Ltd., during its 2011 through 2014 exploration programs.
Glacier Lake plans to follow this first pass program with a diamond drilling program later in the field season. The Company has posted the requested bond with the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines and anticipates receiving its drilling permit shortly.
The drilling will target the MR zone, a clastic sediment-hosted, fine grained, disseminated copper silver zone. Historic exploration includes soil geochemistry, trenching and diamond drilling in an area of limited outcrop exposure:
- Soil geochemistry outlined an area approximately 1.5 by 2.0 kilometres around the MR prospect area.
- Six excavator trenches highlighted an area 100 metres long by 17 metres wide, with three of the trenches intersecting mineralized bedrock: trench 2 – 10.5 metres at 0.22% Cu and 38 gpt Ag, trench 3 – 16.5 metres at 0.53% Cu and 74 gpt Ag and trench 4 – 15 metres at 0.53% Cu and 28 gpt Ag.
- Fourteen drill holes totaling 1,252.5 metres identified a semi-continuous zone 300 metres long by 50 metres wide by 3 to 150 metres deep with two of the holes ending in mineralization. Key intercepts include: MR91-01 – 32.87 metres at 0.19% Cu and 34.8 gpt Ag, MR91-03 – 61.91 metres at 0.11% Cu and 40.5 gpt Ag, MR91-04 – 25.9 metres at 0.08% Cu and 62.6 gpt Ag and MR92-02 – 36.58 metres at 0.49% Cu and 26.8 gpt Ag.
Three other anomalous zones were identified by Amarc during its exploration programs. Further details can be found in the recently completed 43-101 report on the property located under the Company’s SEDAR profile.
