The hole was collared 50 metres southwest of the reclaimed CNE pit, from which Stratabound delivered 39,000 tonnes of massive sulphide ore to Noranda's
The hole was inclined at 45 degrees and drilled from west to east. After passing through 13.5 metres of overburden, the drill encountered very high grade mineralization, and it is highly probable that an unknown extent of mineralized rock is present west of this hole and southwest of the old pit.
Precious metal credits are an important component of the mineralized zone. For example, the peak silver assay is 652.0 g/t (19.0 oz/ton) from 28.0m to 28.5m. Best gold interval is 32.0m to 39.0m, averaging 1.02 g/t, with a peak value of 2.05 g/t.
Assays are pending on eight more holes on the Captain and CNE claims. These include three follow-up holes to CNE-09-01 on the Mining Lease; the deepest hole to date (CP-09-26) on the Captain copper-cobalt deposit, located 1.6 kilometres south of the CNE drillholes; and four scout holes on untested geophysical anomalies elsewhere on the claims.
The three follow-up holes on the CNE Mining Lease have intersected significant base metal massive sulphide mineralization, and confirm the potential extension of the mineralized zones. The deep Captain hole is also well mineralized, and extends the deposit down the dip for at least 125 metres.
The Company is of the view that the terrain surrounding and between the CNE and Captain deposits is highly prospective, as are the deposits themselves, and in view of strengthening metal prices Stratabound's holdings are of strategic importance to the Bathurst Camp.
Exploration of the CNE and Captain properties is under the supervision of
Exploration has been partly funded by a grant awarded to Stratabound under the Province of New Brunswick's Junior Mining Assistance Program.
