Surge Copper Corp.(TSXV: SURG) (OTCQX: SRGXF) has obtained further strong assay results for 15 holes from the Seel Breccia Zone at the company’s 100% owned Ootsa Property in British Columbia.
The Seel Breccia Zone is located 200 metres north of the East Seel deposit and is known to contain high-grade copper and silver mineralisation that extends from surface along a series of steeply dipping brecciated zones.
Drilling during the northern summer 2021 programme encountered this style of breccia mineralisation in a stepout to the north and west of the known zone, and this release contains the second batch of results from follow-up drilling in this area. The first batch of results was released on December 7, 2021.
Highlights
- Hole S21-294 intersected 42 metres grading 0.87% copper equivalent from 18 metres downhole depth, including 20 metres grading 1.65% copper equivalent
- Hole S21-295 intersected 52 metres grading 0.71% copper equivalent from 8 metres downhole depth, including 20 metres grading 1.53% copper equivalent
- Hole S21-296 intersected 36 metres grading 0.83% copper equivalent from 18 metres downhole depth, including 18 metres grading 1.03% copper equivalent
- Holes S21-294, 295, and 296 are collared from the same setup but are oriented in different directions fanning out across the strike direction of the zone demonstrating good continuity of high grade within the central part of the Breccia Zone system
- Hole S21-298 intersected 30 metres grading 0.98% copper equivalent from 80 metres downhole depth, including 20 metres grading 1.36% copper equivalent, extending at depth the known resource area of the main Seel Breccia body, and potentially opening the zone for further expansion at depth
The Seel Breccia is a near-vertical to steeply south-dipping breccia body ranging from 25 to 50 metres wide, extending to depths exceeding 100 metres below surface, and having a known strike length of approximately 300 metres. Smaller parallel and irregular breccia bodies locally surround the main zone.
These initial drill results show potential to significantly expand near-surface high-grade mineralisation well beyond the zone of historical drilling, and the area is being evaluated for its potential as a high-grade starter pit.
Results are pending from 20 additional holes testing exploration targets in the near vicinity of the Seel and Ox deposits, including the Seel Breccia Zone. An additional nine core holes are also pending from the company’s 2021 Berg drill programme.
