SKRR Exploration Inc. Reports Significant Gold, Silver & Zinc Mineralization at the Manson Bay Project, Northern Saskatchewan
SKRR Exploration Inc. reported results from its 12-hole, 1,687.68m (5,524' feet) fall drill program on the 100%-owned Manson Bay gold project located in the Trans Hudson corridor in east-central Saskatchewan. Ten holes targeted within the outlined historic Manson Bay Gold Zone over approximately 450m of strike, with the aim to confirm and expand upon historic results and two additional holes tested along strike to the south-west 300m and 700m respectively of the southern extent of the Manson Bay Gold Zone. Ten holes intersected sulphide mineralization in multiple stacked sheared and brecciated zones, occasionally graphitic, returning significantly anomalous assays in widths ranging in width from 4.57m to 20.29 meters wide (down hole width). MB21001:2.14 g/t Au, 12.90 g/t Ag, 0.13% Pb, and 0.55% Zn over 10.23m (85.68m to 95.91m), including: 3.07 g/t Au, 15.60 g/t Ag, 0.16% Pb, and 0.64% Zn over 6.20m (89.71m to 95.91m), MB21002:1.14 g/t Au, 9.49 g/t Ag, 0.13% Pb, and 0.79% Zn over 9.33m (99.57m to 108.90m), MB21004:1.79 g/t Au, 13.75 g/t Ag, 0.20% Pb, and 0.47% Zn over 20.29m (96.26m to 116.55m) including: 4.01 g/t Au, 28.24 g/t Ag, 0.42% Pb, and 0.76% Zn over 7.75m (106.75m to 114.5m), MB21006: 1.10 g/t Au, 21.05 g/t Ag, 0.44% Pb, and 0.93% Zn over 9.00m (41.00m to 50.00m). MB21012:0.74g/t Au, 5.77g/t Ag, 0.06% Pb, and 0.45% Zn over 14.42m (148.00m to 162.42m) Anomalous assays results are coincident with sulphide mineralization occuring in disseminated and interstitial, to stringers, fracture fillings and occasionally semi-massive to massive blebs. Sulphides generally include 1% to 10% pyrite and pyrrhotite, and occasionally 1% - 2% sphalerite and rarely galena. Ten of twelve drill holes completed during this program served to in-fill gaps in historic drilling as well as test down-dip extensions of historic intercepts of mineralization at the Manson Bay gold zone (SMDI #2280) where historic drilling by Hudbay Minerals (1985) and MinGold Resources (1987 to 1988) outlined a gold-rich and anomalous silver and base metals zone. Two additional drillholes completed in 2021 aimed to test conductors along-strike to the SW of the Manson Lake gold zone. Drillhole planning for this drill program relied on the results of field exploration activity conducted in the summer of 2021 as well as historic data. Drill holes completed in 2021 encountered primarily different varieties of paragneiss with short intervals of pegmatite dyke. The most impressive mineralization was generally hosted in altered and brecciated shear zones with up to 10% total disseminated-interstitial-semimassive pyrrhotite, pyrite, sphalerite, and galena.Drill holes MB21001 and MB21002 were drilled from the same pad with dips of 70° and 85° respectively. These holes were collared proximal to the historic hole MBO-15 to confirm mineralization encountered in that hole. Mineralization consisted of up to 10% total net textured pyrrhotite and pyrite. Drillhole MB21001 intercepted 12.90 g/t Ag, 2.14 g/t Au, 0.13% Pb, and 0.55% Zn over 10.23m from 85.68m to 95.91m. Drillhole MB21002 intercepted 9.49 g/t Ag, 1.14 g/t Au, 0.13% Pb, and 0.79% Zn over 9.33m from 99.57m to 108.90m. Drill hole MB21003 was designed as an in-fill hole roughly equidistant from historic drillholes MBO-8, MBO-9, MBO-14, and MBO-36. Hole MB21003 intercepted a sheared and brecciated zone with up to 10% net-textured pyrrhotite/pyrite as well as local disseminations of 0.5% sphalerite. This zone returned 4.63 g/t Ag, 0.63 g/t Au, 0.07% Pb, and 0.29% Zn over 8.40m from 53.75m to 62.15m. Drill hole MB21004 aimed to test the mineralized shear roughly equidistant from MBO-16, MBO-34, MBO-37, and MBO-42. The hole intercepted several, wide brecciated and sheared zone hosting up to 7% semimassive pyrrhotite, 3% semimassive pyrite, and 0.5% interstitial galena/sphalerite. Assay results from this hole returned 13.75 g/t Ag, 1.79 g/t Au, 0.20% Pb, and 0.47% Zn over 20.29m including 29.00 g/t Ag, 13.70 g/t Au, 0.21% Pb, and 1.12% Zn over 0.75m. Drill hole MB21005 was designed to test the up-dip extension of mineralization at the Manson Lake Gold Zone. The drillhole intercepted several metres of brecciated/sheared gneiss with 3-5% disseminated-blebby pyrite. Assay results from this hole returned 5.57g/t Ag, 0.72g/t Au, 0.04% Pb, and 0.26% Zn over 7.30m from 48.35m to 55.65m. Drill hole MB21006 was designed as a 40m step-back, down-dip from MB21005 to in-fill historic holes MBO-6, MBO-7, MBO-12, and MBO-13. The drillhole intercepted a sheared and brecciated zone with 3% semimassive pyrite, 2% blebby pyrrhotite, 2% disseminated sphalerite, and 1% disseminated galena forming an interlocking texture. Assay results from this hole returned 21.05g/t Ag, 1.10g/t Au, 0.44% Pb, and 0.93% Zn over 9.00m from 41.00m to 50.00m, including 88.57g/t Ag, 3.56g/t Au, 2.03% Pb, and 3.83% Zn over 1.60m from 43.80m to 45.40m. Drill hole MB21007 was designed as a 160m step-back from historic drill holes MBO-12 and MBO-13 to test the down-dip extension of mineralization on the northern side of the Manson Bay Gold Zone. The drill hole intercepted a short (~4m) zone of brecciation and shearing with 3% interstitial pyrrhotite, 1-2% pyrite, and 0.5% sphalerite. This zone returned 5.57g/t Ag, 0.62g/t Au, 0.05% Pb, and 0.59% Zn over 4.82m from 169.47m to 174.29m, including 5.61g/t Ag, 2.02g/t Au, 0.03% Pb, and 0.62% Zn over 1.03m from 172.52m to 173.55m.Drill hole MB21008 and MB21009 were designed to in-fill zones of shearing near historic drillholes MBO-5, MBO-18, MBO-19, and MBO-21. Drill hole MB21008 intercepted shearing and brecciation in both paragneiss and pegmatite with 5% blebby/vug-filling pyrrhotite, 2% pyrite, and 0.5% sphalerite, while MB21009 intercepted less extensive 1% pyrite and 0.25% pyrrhotite. Assay results from drillhole MB21008 returned 7.60g/t Ag, 1.44g/t Au, 0.07% Pb, and 0.32% Zn over 5.95m from 53.95m to 59.9m and 8.30g/t Ag, 0.56g/t Au, 0.17% Pb, and 0.29% Zn over 6.25m from 66.00m to 72.25m. assay results from drill hole MB21009 returned 3.80g/t Ag, 0.41g/t Au, 0.03% Pb, and 0.28% Zn over 4.57m from 101.56m to 106.13m. Drill holes MB21010 and MB21011 targeted previously undrilled conductors 300m and 700m respectively to the SE of historic drilling at the Manson Bay Gold Zone. Both holes intercepted zones of shearing with up to 3% disseminated-stringer pyrrhotite/pyrite and graphite alteration. Neither hole returned significant intervals of gold mineralization. Drill hole MB21012 was designed as a ~50m down-dip, step-back from historic hole MBO-44. This hole intercepted a mineralized shear zone with 3% interstitial pyrrhotite, 2% interstitial pyrite, and trace sphalerite. Assay results from this hole returned 5.77g/t Ag, 0.74g/t Au, 0.06% Pb, and 0.45% Zn over 14.42m from 148.00m to 162.42m, including 4.46g/t Ag, 2.35g/t Au, 0.02% Pb, and 0.20% Zn over 1.48m from 159.00m to 160.48m.
