Juggernautt Exploration Discovers Large Highly Conductive Body Measuring 1000x800x300 Metres on Empire, Remains Open12.02.2018 | 13:45 Uhr | GlobeNewswire
VANCOUVER, Feb. 12, 2018 - Juggernaut Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:JUGR) (the “Company” or “Juggernaut”) is pleased to announce preliminary results of a recent 759-line kilometre high-resolution SKYTEMTM survey on their Empire property, 40 kilometres northeast of Terrace British Columbia. The survey has resulted in the discovery of a geophysically indicated, large buried highly conductive body known as the Big One Anomaly measuring 1000 x 800 x 300 metres. This target is drill-ready and located in a world class geological setting with excellent potential to host VMS deposits (link to image).
Both the Big One Target A and Target B are drill-ready targets. Note that geophysical anomalies are not always directly indicative of mineralization, and may be caused by other geological bodies. This very prominent electromagnetic body generates strong low moment (shallow imaging) and high moment responses (deeper imaging) (link to image), occurs over a large area, and has provided for multiple, near surface drill-targets. Drilling these anomalies is planned during the 2018 exploration program to confirm the source of the conductivity and to outline the geometry of these large conductive bodies along strike and to depth. Colossus Anomaly A second anomaly known as Colossus, was also identified by the SKYTEMTM survey. This low moment conductivity anomaly consists of two lobes, each spanning ~20 hectares. The large geophysically indicated conductive body is an approximately a horizontal tabular body that extends from surface to a depth of >50 metres. Below this the body, the survey indicates a resistive zone. This geophysical response is consistent with a possible epithermal system, not dissimilar to other epithermal systems in British Columbia, such as Dolly Varden. The Colossus area is underlain by the Quock Formation, a key geologic unit that remains unexplored. Both the geophysical characteristics and geological setting of the Colossus Anomaly provide for additional discovery potential. A comprehensive prospecting, surface mapping, and alteration study is strongly recommended in preparation for drilling. In addition to the VMS potential in the northern quadrant of Empire, the central and southern sections of the property, known as the Inca Trend, are host to extensive porphyry-style gold-silver-polymetallic mineralized veins and breccias. The Inca Trend contains potassic alteration, propylitic alteration and porphyritic dykes all of which are consistent with a porphyry–style feeder source at depth. This porphyry signature on Empire is situated on a magnetic high that is found along strike (<10 km) from a known copper gold porphyry. This and other porphyries are documented in a linear belt of aeromagnetic highs that correspond with porphyritic intrusions of the Nanika plutonic suite (link to image). A state of the art, high resolution ground IP geophysical survey is planned to delineate the full geophysical response of these exciting, newly discovered conductive bodies. In addition to the VMS potential of the Empire property, multiple IP surveys will be used to further confirm the porphyry potential of the property beneath the widespread polymetallic bedrock showings and alteration seen on the Inca Trend. The survey is planned for early in the 2018 exploration season to define additional drill targets at depth and along strike. Statements Mr. Dan Stuart, Director, President and CEO of Juggernaut states: “The company and entire geologic team are very excited to have so many untested new mineralized bedrock discoveries that are drill ready on Empire. These discoveries are located in geologic elephant country and have excellent potential of being one drill hole away from a world class discovery. The Empire property is located in a key geologic terrane that certainly will tick the boxes of the Miners, has road access and is in close proximity to excellent infrastructure in Terrace British Columbia. We look forward to the 2018 drilling season with great anticipation.” Dr. Stefan Kruse. P.Geo, Chief Consulting Geologist stated: “Results of the geophysical surveys are extremely encouraging. We look forward to unlocking the full potential of the Empire property in 2018 with an inaugural drill program” For new maps and photos please go to the website at www.Juggernautexploration.com Other Stefan Kruse, Ph.D., P.
