Rockcliff Completes ZTEM Survey at Snow Lake Project, Preliminary Results
Indicate Untested Anomalies
Trading Symbol RCR: TSXV
Preliminary examination of the raw geophysical ZTEM data on all properties is in progress. Initial results from the Squall and Tramping properties have identified prospective areas where ZTEM anomalies are associated with the favourable juvenile arc rock package. Geophysical data from the remaining properties are currently being processed. All anomalies will be prioritized based on their conductivity, resistivity, size and proximity to juvenile rocks. Once completed, Rockcliff will report the results and identify the high priority anomalies to drill test.
The ZTEM survey has the capability of locating conductive bodies down to depths of over a kilometre. The purpose of the survey was to integrate Rockcliff's existing VTEM database (13,000 line km) on the project with Geotech's state of the art ZTEM geophysical technology. The combined surveys allow for complete geophysical coverage and locate conductors buried from near surface to depths in excess of a kilometre. The survey utilized Geotech's ZTEM or Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic system, an innovative airborne EM system which uses the natural or passive fields of the Earth as the source of transmitted energy. Key features of the technology include:
- Superior Exploration Depth - Over 1500 metres in the Athabasca Basin. - Low Frequency for penetration through conductive cover. - High Spatial Resolution - 8 to 10 metres. - Excellent resistivity discrimination and detection of weak anomalies due to the nature of the natural EM fields. - Measures the in-phase component - critical for the exploration of massive sulphides. - A highly sensitive magnetometer for mapping geological structure and lithology.
Rockcliff Resources Inc.
Rockcliff Resources Inc. is a Canadian resource exploration company focused on discovery and advancement of its high-quality mineral assets on its Snow Lake Project. Rockcliff presently controls the Snow Lake Project totalling in excess of 550 km(2) of which 370 km2 is 100% owned by Rockcliff and located within and proximal to the Snow Lake Camp. The project presently includes five historical VMS deposits (Lon, Rail, Reed, Kof and Sylvia), one former gold mine (Century Mine) and numerous additional areas with potential for VMS and gold mineralization. Rockcliff also controls the Shihan VMS Project located in Northern Ontario.
