Two New Targets Of Potential Skarn Mineralization At Copper Hill Project
VANCOUVER – Manning Ventures Inc. has received the final documentation from for the recently completed gravity survey on its Copper Hill Project, located within the prolific Walker Lane Trend, Nevada. The gravity survey was conducted with the objective of aiding the company in defining the lithologic and structural setting of the Copper Hill Project, and to aid in identifying areas of potential copper mineralization.
The survey successfully identified a broad circular gravity anomaly underlying Copper Mountain, derivatives of the gravity data refined the vertical and horizontal components identifying two new zones showing similar gravity features of those at Copper Mountain. These two new zones represent new targets of potential skarn mineralization.
The gravity anomaly occurring under Copper Mountain displays a ring which is coincidental with historic magnetic signatures and skarn mineralization. This interpreted ring represents skarn / marble lithologies and is developed along the contact of the intrusion. Structurally, a number of northwest to west-northwest structural lineaments are evident in the gravity data with a lesser set of lineaments-oriented north-south to north-northeast, which bound basins to the east and west. Three of the prominent northwest to west-northwest structures bound the north side of the interpreted intrusion of Copper Mountain and form a “Structural Corridor”. The southern structure of the three appears to facet the intrusion and parallels historic skarn workings within the intrusion.
The company is encouraged by the results and interpretation of the Gravity data and is currently awaiting results from the soil geochemical survey that completed over the property in March – April of this year. Full compilation of this data will greatly aid the company in its next phase of exploration.
