High-Priority Drill Targets Defined At Cuddy Mountain
VANCOUVER - Zeus North America Mining Corp. reported on high-priority drill targets at Cuddy Mountain in Idaho. Zeus is permitting 5 spatially separate drill pads at Cuddy Mountain. The drill pads are designed to test the strongest portion of the coincidental anomalies. The results highlight the potential for both skarn and porphyry copper mineralization across the mapped prospective Seven Devils Volcanics.
More specifically the coincidental anomalies consist of: 1) Broad, continuous zones of moderate to strong chargeability, (>20ms up to 60ms) trending NE-SW, indicative of extensive sulphide mineralization potential. The top of the chargeability anomaly is approximately 100-150 metres depth from the planned drill collars. 2) Magnetic highs which could indicate potassic core of a porphyry system or adjacent magnetic lows reflecting alteration halos. 3) Magnetic highs occurring adjacent to and beneath the chargeability feature highlight a prominent interface along the Columbia River Flood Basalts paralleling with the chargeable body. Integration of these overlapping geophysical signatures helps outline the compelling exploration target for skarn and/or porphyry copper mineralization within the Cuddy Mountain Property.
Coincidental rock grab samples: 1) 35 samples contain 0.1 percent ("%") copper ("Cu") or more; 16 samples contain greater than 1.1 % Cu, up to and including 3.8% Cu. 2) 29 samples contain 10 grams per tonne silver ("g/t Ag") or more; 9 samples contain more than 129 g/t Ag, with values up to and including 307 g/t Ag. 3) 26 samples contain 10 g/t molybdenum ("Mo") or more; 5 samples contain more than 40 g/t Mo, with values up to and including 182 g/t Mo (with 0.37g/t Au).
Soils delineate a broad 3 kilometer (km) by 3 km copper Cu and molybdenum Mo in soil circular anomaly underlain by the Seven Devils Volcanics (~741 acres): 1) The newly identified copper-molybdenum soil anomaly contains individual soil samples up to 0.38% copper and 28.5 parts per million (ppm) molybdenum (31 samples contain 212 ppm Cu or more. 2) 5 samples contain percent level copper up to and including 0.38% Cu; 116 samples contain 2 ppm Mo or more; 6 samples contain more than 10 ppm Mo, with values up to and including 28.5 ppm Mo).
