Prospector Metals Corp Reports Assay Results from the 2024 Exploration Program at the ML Project Located Approximately 80 Km from Dawson City, Yukon Territory
Prospector Metals Corp. reported assay results from the 2024 exploration program at the ML Project located approximately 80 km from Dawson City, Yukon Territory. During the 4-week program, a total of 520 rock grab and chip samples were collected across the property to establish the extent of the surface expression of known zones as well as sample new areas with unknown mineral potential. All assays have now been received. The contents of this news release are focused on Au targets, while highlights of Ag and associated base metal targets will be provided in a subsequent news release. New surface discoveries at the Vary Zone and Russer Zone greatly expand the high-grade gold footprint at ML. A robust east-west mineralized corridor is developing between the Rubble and Cirque Areas in addition to the northeast-southwest trending structural corridor. LiDAR and World View 3 datasets have been received and will be analyzed over the next several weeks. Results will be released when available. 2024 ML Field Program: The 2024 field program on the ML property encompassed: 520 rock grab and chip samples and initial geologic and structural mapping. high-resolution LiDAR: World View-3 remote sensing survey: Processing underway Samples from the three known intrusive centers have been submitted for whole rock analysis and age dating. The work was completed to assess multiple known historic prospects across the property, including previously underexplored intrusion hosted targets, to gain an understanding of key structural and lithologic controls on mineralization with a goal of defining future drill targets. Based on the work, the Company noted a series of steeply dipping NNE trending and E-W trending structural corridors that transect the property and appear to be a primary control on mineralization in all rock types. All assays have been received and results range from below detection up to 79.96 g/t Au and to 10.4% Cu. Two new areas of mineralization have been identified, in addition to adding new high-grade results to existing areas. A total of 68 samples were collected from the Vary Zone. Assay results range from trace to 79.96 g/t Au, and up to 3.98% Cu. Mineralization in the area occurs along the southern margin of a porphyritic intrusive body and consists of intrusive hosted quartz-tourmaline veining with arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite as well as calc-silicate altered limestone with disseminated to fracture controlled arsenopyrite-chalcopyrite. A total of 9 samples were collected from the Russer Zone. Assay results range from trace to 16.22 g/t Au and are associated with strongly anomalous As, Bi, and Te. Mineralization is hosted within sheeted quartz +/-tourmaline veins with coarse grained arsenopyrite mineralization along the northern margin of a large porphyritic intrusive unit. A total of 102 samples were collected from the Java area. Assay results range from trace to 16.08 g/t Au, and up to 2.24% Cu with strongly anomalous As, Bi, Sb, and Te. The Java Trend consists of multiple horizons of calcareous interbedded coarse sandstone and quartz pebble conglomerates replaced by Fe-carbonate, limonite, tremolite, and pyroxene. Mineralization is characterized by disseminated to massive arsenopyrite and lesser chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite associated with late silicification and open space quartz veins. Tourmaline occurs within veins and fractures. Porphyritic intrusive to gabbroic dykes and faults cross-cut the metasedimentary rocks, with NNE-SSW and E-W orientations. Rubble Area: A total of 58 samples were collected from the Rubble area. Assay results range from trace to 13.46 g/t Au and up to 3.3% Cu with strongly anomalous As, Bi, Sb, and Te. Mineralization on the Rubble trend is hosted within porphyritic intrusive rocks and adjacent calc-silicate altered limestone, at the intersection of WNW-ESE and NNE-SSW trending structural corridors. Multiple orientations of sheeted veins and fractures within the porphyritic intrusive rocks contain tourmaline, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite. Within the calc-silicate altered limestone, axinite is commonly associated with the arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrite assemblage, instead of tourmaline. Cirque Area: Results for 48 samples from the Cirque area have been received to date. Assay results ranged from trace to 23 g/t Au with 17 samples returning > 1g/t Au. The mineralization is hosted within sheeted veins and fractures within a feldspar porphyritic syenite and is associated with strongly anomalous As, Bi, Cu, Sb, and Te. Individual veins range in thickness from mm to 10cm and are associated with disseminated to massive arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite with quartz +/- tourmaline, tremolite, and chlorite. Mineralization appears to be most concentrated near the margin of the intrusion, within a strong ESE - WNW structural corridor.
