Ivanhoe Electric Provides Update on Drilling Programs Underway at its U.S. Electric Metals Exploration Projects01.08.2023 | 7:00 Uhr | Accesswire
Drill Rigs Currently Active at the Santa Cruz, Tintic, Hog Heaven and Lincoln Projects Typhoon™ Technology Deployed at the White Hill Project PHOENIX, August 1, 2023 - Ivanhoe Electric (NYSE American:IE)(TSX:IE) Executive Chairman, Robert Friedland and President and Chief Executive Officer, Taylor Melvin are pleased to provide an update on current exploration activities at the Company's U.S. electric metals exploration projects. Ivanhoe Electric's experienced exploration teams are operating eight diamond drill rigs at its projects:
In addition to exploration drilling, Ivanhoe Electric recently completed a three-dimensional induced polarization geophysical survey, using our proprietary Typhoon™ technology, over 25 square kilometers at the White Hill Copper Project in western Nevada. Mr. Friedland commented: "The amount of exploration activity underway at our US projects is impressive. Our team of talented and experienced geologists and geophysics specialists have been hard at work this summer and will remain so well into the fall. We look forward to providing additional updates on our progress as we advance our important exploration activities in the United States." Mr. Melvin commented: "It is exciting to see our experienced exploration teams simultaneously advancing multiple projects in the United States. We are combining the talents of our teams with our proprietary TyphoonTM geophysical surveying technology to search for the next generation of electric metals supply. In addition to work on our robust exploration portfolio, we are finalizing the Initial Assessment for our Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona. We continue to expect that study to be complete by the end of Q3 2023." Exploration Programs Underway at Multiple U.S. Electric Metals Projects Santa Cruz Drill Core Being Inspected by Arron Jergensen, Exploration Manager - Santa Cruz (foreground left), Nansen Olson, Ph.D., Senior Geologist (foreground right) and other members of the Geology Team (July 2023) Ongoing Exploration Drilling at Tintic in Utah Tests the Typhoon-Identified Geophysical Anomalies At Tintic, our exploration program is focused on identifying porphyry, skarn and carbonate replacement-type mineralization, potentially containing copper, gold, silver and other critical metals. Ivanhoe Electric's exploration efforts have been guided by the three large-scale geophysical anomalies identified by our 72 square kilometer three-dimensional induced polarization survey completed using Typhoon™. The current drill program is testing new areas of the historic Main Tintic Mining District that have yet to be explored by modern exploration techniques and will look for the potential porphyry copper-gold systems that may have been the source (or sources) to the significant past-producing silver-gold-copper-lead-zinc mines. The drill program at Tintic is being conducted on Ivanhoe Electric's private patented mining claims, located near the towns of Eureka and Mammoth, Utah, and 40 miles south of Rio Tinto's Bingham Canyon Porphyry Copper-Gold Mine. Exploration Diamond Drill Site at the Tintic Copper-Gold-Silver Project, Utah (July 2023) Exploration Drill Program at Hog Heaven in Montana Designed to Test for High-Grade Extensions of Historic Mines and the Potential Porphyry Source The historic Flathead Mine, located within the Hog Heaven Project area, previously produced high-grade silver with associated lead, zinc, copper and gold. Mineralization is believed to continue below previous mine workings, remaining open to depth. Ivanhoe Electric's current drilling campaign is designed to search for potential porphyry copper mineralization located at depth, which may represent the heat and fluid source to previously mined mineralization; and for additional silver, gold and copper-rich high sulfidation epithermal mineralization, which was the focus of previous mining activities by Anaconda Copper Mining Company who direct shipped high-grade silver ore to their Butte smelter. The Hog Heaven Copper-Gold-Silver Project is operated through a joint venture, where Ivanhoe Electric may earn up to a 75% ownership of the Project by completing a combination of cash payments and work expenditures. Hog Heaven is located on private land approximately 50 miles south-southwest of Kalispell, Montana. Exploration Diamond Drilling Underway at the Hog Heaven Copper-Gold-Silver Project, Montana (July 2023) Exploration Drill Program at Lincoln in Utah Designed to Test Typhoon-Identified Geophysical Anomalies The Lincoln Project area encompasses numerous historic small underground workings with little record of past production. It is thought to be the oldest mining district in Utah. Prior to Ivanhoe Electric's involvement, almost no modern exploration occurred on the project. Following the completion of a Typhoon™ survey in the Fall of 2022 and the inversion of the data into a three-dimensional model by our subsidiary Computational Sciences Inc., Ivanhoe Electric has commenced drilling on the large-scale geophysical features including chargeability, resistivity, magnetic and density anomalies identified below the historic mine workings, which could represent skarn and/or porphyry-style mineralization. The drill program at Lincoln is being conducted on a combination of private patented mining claims and unpatented mining claims, located near Minersville, Utah, and 160 miles south of Rio Tinto's Bingham Canyon Porphyry Copper-Gold Mine. Drillers Processing Diamond Drill Core at Lincoln Copper-Gold-Silver Project, Utah (July 2023) Typhoon™ Survey Completed at White Hill in Nevada Ivanhoe Electric has recognized the potential for buried porphyry, skarn and carbonate-replacement mineralization at the White Hill Project and potential extensions to areas of known copper-skarn mineralization. The recently completed 25 square kilometer three-dimensional induced polarization Typhoon™ survey will help to identify any geophysical anomalies potentially related to sulfide-bearing skarns, carbonate replacement deposits and/or porphyry copper systems, located at depth and will be used to help pinpoint future exploration drilling. Ivanhoe Electric operates the White Hill Copper Project through an earn-in and joint venture agreement, where Ivanhoe Electric has the right to earn up to an 80% interest through a combination of payments and work expenditures. The White Hill Project is located approximately 20 miles east of Hawthorne and 100 miles southeast of Reno, Nevada.
