Bastion Minerals Ltd (ASX: BMO) has defined 11 priority targets for the 2025 exploration programme at the flagship ICE Canadian Copper-Gold Project in the Yukon Province, Western Canada.
The ICE Project has undergone limited exploration outside the known deposit area, with less than 1% of the property drill tested, allowing ample opportunity for extension of the known resource and discovery of additional zones of VHMS mineralization.
Executive chairman, Mr. Ross Landles, said, “In parallel with our plan to release a maiden JORC-compliant resource, we are excited to highlight the significant potential exploration upside at the ICE Project. With less than 1% of the project area drilled outside of the resource, having identified 11 regional and resource extension targets, the potential for new discoveries is substantial, especially given the limited exploration along strike. We believe the untested geophysical and geochemical anomalies provide excellent drill targets, and we are confident in the future of the project as we continue our exploration efforts throughout 2025.”
The company will focus its exploration efforts on two fronts:
- Resource expansion: significant potential exists to extend the known resource, which contains notable intersections such as 28.55m @ 3.57% Cu which is open to the North coinciding with untested EM anomalies trending up to 350m north of the resource
- Property wide discovery of additional massive sulphide lenses Defined high-priority regional targets exist within the project area, comprised of multiple untested geophysical and geochemical anomalies, both along strike to the NE and SW from the existing deposit and in the surrounding unexplored zone
Significantly, 3km east of the ICE deposit, historical prospecting discovered an area of oxidized massive pyrite rubble, with up to 1,035ppm Cu in soils, representing a priority target and potential regional discovery.
