Moag to Recommence Drilling at its Mace Property in Ireland
Toronto, ON / TheNewswire / July 7, 2015 - MOAG Copper Gold Resources Inc. ("Moag")(CSE:MOG) (OTCQB: MGCPF) today provides the following update of Moag's exploration campaign on its Mace property (Prospecting Licence No. 19456446 Area 934, referred to herein as PL 934) in County Galway in the west of Ireland.
In 2014, MOAG reported the presence of quartz-vein hosted, molybdenite-copper-silver (Mo-Cu-Ag) mineralization at Mace by drilling an 1100m programme along an altered, north-east trending zone extending for >350m along strike and 150m vertical depth within the host granite, open along strike and down dip.
In early 2015, MOAG conducted an IP geophysical survey, which identified cohesive chargeable and resistive zones along strike of, and adjacent to, the drilled mineralisation. Structural geological mapping was carried out using high resolution orthophotographs to allow advanced interpretation of vein configurations and the controlling structural regime, prior to planned drilling. Ecological Impact Assessment and Stage 1 Screening for Appropriate Assessment studies were completed as part of the management program to ensure minimal impact on the ecology and surrounding environment, as well as the hydrogeological regime.
Highlights:
-
- MOAG has defined coincident geological, geophysical and geochemical anomalies at Mace, extending the potential mineralized zone to > 1000m along strike;
- MOAG commenced drilling for 5000m in the last week of June 2015, to test along-strike and down-dip extensions of the known Mo-Cu-Ag mineralized system, following receipt of the necessary Irish regulatory approval from the Exploration & Mining Division.
- 18 diamond cored holes (HQ to 50m with NQ tails to max. 250m depth) are planned initially, with the program extendable based on results (see map overleaf). All drill holes will be collared at > 50m from surface water bodies.
- Assay results will be released as they are received over the course of the program.
MOAG have contracted SLR Consulting of Dublin, Ireland www.slrconsulting.com to manage the drilling program, including geological logging and interpretation, liaison with landowners and statutory authorities, environmental management and statutory reporting functions on its behalf. Drilling will be carried out under contract by Irish Drilling Limited and geochemical analyses will be undertaken by ALS Global Laboratories, both companies based in Co. Galway.
