Eastfield Commences 2025 Field Program at Indata Property
Vancouver, July 10, 2025 - Eastfield Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ETF) is pleased to announce that the 2025 exploration program has commenced at the Indata Property, located in central British Columbia. Eastfield holds a 100% interest in Indata, with a 60% interest currently optioned to Star Copper Corp. (TSX-V: STCU). The property is primarily prospective for copper, gold, and molybdenum, with significant occurrences of antimony also documented. Notable Historical Drill Results Include:
-
Copper: Hole IN22-82 intersected 174.0 metres grading 0.23% Cu, including a higher-grade interval of 29.0 metres grading 0.47% Cu
Step-out drilling from this hole is planned for 2025. -
Gold: Historical hole DDH88-11 intersected 4.0 metres grading 47.26 g/t Au
-
Molybdenum: Hole IN22-74 returned 31.0 metres at the bottom of the hole grading 0.102% Mo, including 7.5 metres grading 0.320% Mo
Step-out drilling is also planned for this area in 2025.
In the early stages of exploration at Indata, the primary focus was lode gold, with Placer Dome Inc. funding much of the work through private placements in Eastfield. Gold mineralization was commonly associated with stibnite, with antimony assays often exceeding 0.5%, and in some cases reaching 3.8% Sb. Mechanical trenching and drilling revealed numerous gold-bearing veins and silicified zones across the property.
Soil sampling programs conducted over the years have evolved from targeting gold to copper, with robust copper values and widespread anomalous antimony readings (commonly over 100 ppm) observed over a north-south width exceeding five kilometers.
In 2022, exploration in the northwest sector of the property targeting potential Carbonate-Hosted Gold or Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) mineralization resulted in the discovery of hole IN22-84. This hole intersected 81.0 metres of limestone breccia mineralized with silica, arsenic, and antimony, sitting above a quartz monzonite intrusive sporadically mineralized with molybdenite. Follow-up geochemical analysis revealed extensive anomalous antimony in soils surrounding this zone, reinforcing the area's exploration potential.
The Indata Property is located near the Pinchi Fault Zone, approximately 120 km northwest of Fort St. James, BC. The historic Snowbird Mine, situated 12 km west of Fort St. James along the same fault zone, produced a small tonnage of high-grade ore during World War II, reported to average 9% antimony and 0.25 oz/ton gold (approx. 8.6 g/t Au). The geological similarities between Indata and Snowbird support continued exploration for antimony-gold mineralization across Indata's 14-kilometre strike length.
