Drill targets already identified
The chemistry of plants can reveal a lot about buried mineralization that is not visible on the surface. So-called “biogeochemical methods” have proven particularly successful in the established Abitibi mining camp in Quebec, where Usha Resources (WKN A3D5BX / TSXV USHA) is now starting field work on the Southern Arm copper-gold VMS property just optioned from Abitibi Metals (TSXV: AMQ). As a result, Usha Resources is also utilizing this novel exploration technique that was not available to previous explorers. In addition, Usha will apply ground-based geophysical survey methods.
The Southern Arm property is considered prospective for polymetallic VMS-style mineralization and is located in close proximity to a number of VMS deposits. The Selbaie VMS mine with 53 Mt grading 0.96% Cu, 1.9% Zn, 0.58 g/t Au, 40.7 g/t Ag is located only 15 km to the southwest. Also adjacent is Abitibi Metals’ B26 deposit (~16 km SW), which hosts an indicated resource of 6.97 at 2.94% Cu Eq (1.32% Cu, 1.80% Zn, 0.60 g/t Au and 43 g/t Ag). Southern Arm extends for ~7.3 km along the known regional Bapst Fault. (see Figure 1). Several drill targets have already been identified on the property, including “Hollywood” where anomalous metal values have been measured over a ~1.8 km area that is open along strike.
Deepak Varshney, CEO of Usha Resources, commented: “We look forward to applying modern and novel exploration techniques on the Southern Arm property to penetrate the thick overburden that has deterred previous explorers. The Southern Arm property is exceptionally well positioned for the next major discovery at Abitibi and we are working closely with the region’s most successful exploration team, Abitibi Metals Corp. Our planned exploration program will apply techniques that have been proven in the Abitibi mining district but have not been applied in this area before. This work will help us define drill targets within the Hollywood Trend prior to commencing our fully funded maiden drill program for which planning has already commenced.”
