Boxxer Drills 0.46% Copper Equivalent at DOK
![Boxxer Drills 0.46% Copper Equivalent at DOK](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Highlights:
- Diamond drill hole (DDH) DOK-01-2014, returned three intervals of greater than 0.10% copper equivalent in potassic and phyllic altered andesite. The entire hole shows elevated concentrations of copper-gold-silver and molybdenum,
- The lower 24.4 m of DDH DOK-01-2014 intersected 0.012% molybdenum as well as significant copper-gold-silver concentrations in hydrothermal breccia,
- DDH DOK-2014-02 intersected three intervals averaging greater than 0.10% copper equivalent is in strongly potassic and phyllic altered andesite and quartz monzonite intrusive. This hole contains elevated concentration in copper-gold-silver,
- The analytical results show a copper-gold-silver and a copper-gold-silver-molybdenum style of mineralization, and
- The significant pyrite concentration in the drill hole combined with the analytical results, alteration, mineralogy and lithology suggest that the drilling may have intersected the outer edge of a hydrothermal porphyry copper-gold system.
The weighted average grade of the mineralized intervals in the two diamond drill holes are as follows:
DDH ID From (m) To (m) Interval (m) Copper (%)

Cu Eq calculations assumes 100% metal recoveries and metal prices of $US2.75/lb copper, $US1445/oz. gold, $US27.74/oz. silver and $US14.64/lb molybdenum.
Mr. Riley, President of Boxxer stated that: "The 2014 drilling program has demonstrated the presence of wide spread porphyry copper style mineralization at depth on the DOK property. The presence of elevated metal values throughout both holes combined with numerous higher grade intervals as well as two distinct phases of mineralization are interpreted to be very encouraging and warrant follow-up work. The data suggests that these holes may have been completed toward the outer edge of the porphyry system."
DDH DOK-01-2014 was designed to test a stronger portion of the chargeability signature. This hole intersected an 18.5m interval of higher grade copper-gold-silver mineralization within a broad interval of 0.11% CuEq. The lower interval in the hole yielded a 24.4m interval that returned 0.012% molybdenum as well as copper-gold-silver mineralization in a hydrothermal breccia. The interval in the hole between 6.1m and 129.5m returned variable metal values that ranged from 41 to 953 parts per million ("ppm") copper, 0.001 to 0.064g/t gold, 0.1 to 0.5 g/t silver and less than 1 to 11ppm molybdenum. The mineralization is not restricted to a specific lithology.
DDH DOK-02-2014 is located 400m along strike from DDH DOK-01-2014 to test a weaker portion of the chargeability signature. This hole intersected three broad intervals of copper-gold-silver mineralization. This hole contains no appreciable concentration of molybdenum. The interval from 289.6 to 304.8m returned a weighted average of 0.093g/t gold, 0.62g/t silver and 0.03% copper in hydrothermal breccia. The absence of molybdenum suggest that this hydrothermal breccia is different than that intersected in DDH DOK-01-2014. The mineralization in this hole occurs in several host rocks.
Diamond Drilling and Sampling Procedures:
The diamond drilling was completed using NQ core size. Overall core recovery was estimated to be greater than 97%. After cutting, one half of the core is collected for sample preparation and analysis and the other half is retained for future reference. Sample intervals were selected based on lithology changes/alteration intensity/estimated mineral content. The sample interval was maintained at 3.0m for the majority of the samples collected. Sample preparation was completed by ACME Analytical Laboratories Ltd ("ACME") located in Smithers, British Columbia and sample analyses were completed by ACME in Vancouver, British Columbia. Base metals were assayed using the ACME's standard sample preparation and ICP-ES finish. Lower detection limits are as follows: Cu >0.001%, Mo >0.001%, Silver values had a lower detection limit of 0.1g/t. Gold is assayed by fire assay - fusion of a 30-gram followed by ICP-ES finish; with a lower detection limit of 0.005 g/t. ACME has an 9001:2008 International Standard Organization rating.
