VR Resources Ltd. Completes DCIP surveys at Empire and Silverback Copper-Gold Projects in Ontario

28.11.2024  |  GlobeNewswire
VANCOUVER, Nov. 28, 2024 - VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR, FSE: 5VR; OTCBB: VRRCF), the "Company", or "VR", is pleased to announce the completion of two, state-of-the-art DCIP geophysical surveys at its Empire and Silverback projects in northwestern Ontario, with inversions underway, preliminary results under review, and drill planning underway.

A field photo highlighting road-accessible logistics is shown below in Photo 1A. The surveys were completed as planned; on time and on budget, as described in NR-24-26 from November 12th. Data quality for both surveys is good, with minimal EM coupling at surface, low noise, and strong correlation to conductivity in previously collected airborne EM data. Details include:

  • Empire Project: roughly 7km of 2D DCIP readings were completed along 3 lines across the Westwood target, a 3km long magnetic anomaly, with a survey depth penetration of 500m.
  • Silverback Project: A 4 x 4 km 3D-array DCIP grid was completed, generating 90,000 unique dipoles, with 500 m depth penetration. As shown in Figure 1, the grid is centred on a shear zone with 9.5g/t gold, 5.6% copper, and 52 g/t silver, and it covers the recently announced gold-enriched porphyry intrusion, and as shown in Photo 2, quartz vein stockworks discovered in outcrop during the survey, near a 6-channel EM anomaly from an OGS survey in 1980.

Surface mineralization near the Trans Canada highway at the Westwood target averages 0.2% Cu, 0.54 g/t Pt+Pd, and 0.14 g/t Au in disseminated sulfide. A new outcrop of iron-stained ultra-mafic rock with disseminated and vein sulfide was discovered during the survey (see Photo 1B). Overall, the three DCIP lines are designed to outline the areas of strongest conductivity and chargeability related to this sulfide mineralization, aided by detailed magnetic data already in hand.

From VR's CEO Justin Daley: "The results of both DCIP surveys have already exceeded expectations, giving us robust and integrated exploration targets across the various geophysical data sets acquired to date. We look forward to providing further details as we work with DIAS to complete survey inversions, and work internally to refine drill targets. I would like to thank the DIAS field crew for their hard work completing these surveys as winter arrived quickly in Upsala this past week."

The DCIP survey is designed to delineate the center of this copper-nickel hydrothermal-magmatic mineral system.

About the Empire and Silverback Projects

The Silverback project consists of 71 mineral claims in 1 contiguous block covering 4,442 hectares and Empire consists of 313 mineral claims in 1 contiguous blocks covering 10,254 hectares. The projects are located on Federal crown land, with mineral rights administered by the Ontario Ministry of Mines. There is a 2% net smelter royalty on the claims. There are no annual payments, but the Ministry requires certain annual exploration expenditures and reporting (ie. mineral assessment reports) in order to maintain a mineral claim in good standing. The projects fall within the Lac de Mille Lac First Nation traditional territories.

Technical Information

Surface grab samples and drill core samples were submitted for geochemical analysis to the AGAT laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Drill core was logged, cut and sampled at the Holbik Exploration warehouse in Upsala, Ontario, with sample preparation completed by AGAT in Thunder Bay alongside gold and PGE determination by atomic absorption assay. ICP-MS analyses for base metals, whole rock, and trace elements is performed at AGAT's laboratory in Calgary, AB. Analytical results are subject to industry-standard and NI 43-101 compliant QAQC sample procedures, including the systematic insertion of sample duplicates, blanks and certified reference material (CRM) done both externally and internally at the laboratory by AGAT, as described by AGAT.

Technical information for this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101. Justin Daley, P.Geo., President & CEO at VR and a non-independent Qualified Person oversees and/or participates in all aspects of the Company's mineral exploration projects, and the content of this news release has been reviewed on behalf of the Company by the Executive Chairman, Dr. Michael Gunning, P.Geo., a non-independent Qualified Person.

Spring 2023 drilling tested two smaller conductors from the DIGEM survey, shown in purple (deeper) and red (shallower). An untested 6-channel EM anomaly from 1980 OGS survey Map 80534 coincides with a 2-line DIGEM conductor, adjacent to the mafic intrusion, and near a 99th percentile gold in lake sediment anomaly. The new DCIP data is expected to refine all of the conductors along the 2 km trend of known mineralization.


Photo 2. Newly discovered outcrop of quartz vein stockworks with sulfide in gabbro at Silverback, with location shown in Figure 1 above, in the northeast corner of the DCIP grid. This is very similar to the style of gold mineralization seen 3km to the southwest in drill Hole 2. The outcrop was discovered by the DIAS crew during the DCIP survey, and nearby the 1980 6-channel EM anomaly from OGS Map 80534.
