Serengeti Reports 6.7 Cu%, 5.9 g/t Au, 464 g/t Ag Assays from Rottacker; Strong Adjacent Copper Soil Anomaly

26.08.2014  |  Marketwire

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug 26, 2014) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SIR)(FRANKFURT:34S) is pleased to report the results of a field program conducted earlier this summer on its Rottacker property, adjacent to the southern end of its 100%-owned Kwanika claim block. Additional rock sampling of the Rottacker "B" showing, first re-located by Serengeti staff in 2013 and last worked on in the early 1970's, returned grab samples from outcrop assaying up to 6.7% copper, 5.9 g/t gold and 464 g/t silver. In addition, soil sampling has identified a strong copper anomaly, 500 meters to the west of the showing in an area interpreted to share geological similarities to Kwanika.

The Rottacker "B" showing consists of a 2 to 3 meter wide zone of disseminated and vein chalcopyrite-pyrite and secondary copper mineralization in strongly chlorite-sericite altered monzodiorite intrusive. The showing area is poorly exposed in an old blast pit and due to extensive till cover, its full extent is difficult to determine. The presence of elevated bismuth and tellurium along with locally high precious metal values, suggests the presence of gold-silver-bismuth-telluride along with the copper mineralization.

Sample Type Lithology Cu% Au (g/t) Ag (g/t)
Outcrop, grab Mineralized/ Altered monzodiorite 6.77 5.9 464
Outcrop, grab Mineralized/ Altered monzodiorite 1.67 0.98 93
Outcrop, grab Mineralized/ Altered monzodiorite 0.77 tr 12
Outcrop, grab Mineralized/ Altered monzodiorite 0.63 0.07 7
Outcrop, grab Mineralized/ Altered monzodiorite 0.25 0.08 6

Soil sampling in the immediate vicinity of the showing returned generally weakly anomalous results with the exception of one very elevated gold value. However, a soil sampling transect identified a strong, 300 meter wide copper (with locally coincident Au, Ag) soil anomaly in B-Horizon and Ah-organic soil horizons, 500 meters to the west of the showing. This area of the property is interpreted to be underlain by red boulder conglomerate similar to that which partially overlies the Kwanika Central Copper-Gold Zone.

Ah and B-Horizon Soil Cu results can be viewed on Serengeti's website.

"The presence of good grade mineralization, indications of strongly anomalous copper soil geochemistry nearby and a geological setting with similarities to Kwanika is encouraging," stated David Moore, President and CEO of Serengeti Resources. "The next step on the Rottacker property is to conduct IP geophysics to test for an associated sulphide system, which would quickly constitute an excellent drill target."
