Recent Drilling Program At The Omega Mine Property
TORONTO - Mistango River Resources Inc. reported on its recent drilling program on the Omega Mine property along with assay results from prospecting conducted on the property during drilling.
The 18-hole, 2,520 metre drill program was designed to test the shallow mineralization of SW Zone, located off the trend of the Larder Lake-Cadillac deformation zone. Several holes intersected elevated gold results over several metres, including hole 002, which cut 1.5 g/t Au over a width of 7.1m, located immediately below the excavated surface outcrop from which a bulk sample was collected in the past.
The results indicate that mineralization is likely found in sediments of Temiskaming Assemblage due to the presence of red jasper pebbles and is sandwiched between layers of highly deformed ultramafic rock. Mineralization occurs where the conglomerate is altered to sericite and iron-carbonate and the mineralized intervals carry minor very fine grained pyrite. Numerous holes intersected a second mineralized zone deeper down and to the north of the SW zone. Hole 11 intersected 0.97 g/t Au over 7.5m near the bottom of the hole. The second zone appears to form a parallel mineralized horizon that extends further west.
Although the SW Zone is located off the main trend of the Larder Lake-Cadillac break, the rocks in the area are highly deformed and appear to constitute a distinct deformation zone that has the characteristics of a splay off the main break. Furthermore, the lithologies of the SW Zone are quite distinct in ages and their interdigitation is testimony to the intense deformation at the SW Zone. The results are currently being integrated with previous, historical drilling and the SW Zone will be re-interpreted.
Grab samples returned values ranging from trace up to 20.48 g/t Au with an average for one trench of 2.63 g/t Au. The mineralized zone appears to strike nearly north-south and is located near to and parallel with the LaGuerre Gold Mine, which occupies some NS fault structures within a syenite intrusion. These results will be followed up first thing next spring when conditions are favourable.Prospecting conducted over a period of three days was mainly focused on revisiting some historical showings. A total of 33 samples were collected from old trenches and pits from lithologies composed of syenite/granite, sediment and an ultramafic rock similar to the famous carbonate ore from the Kerr Addison mine.
