White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN) has confirmed extraordinary silver grades from epithermal structures and polymetallic results from skarn-style mineralisation. This positive development came out of the final batch of assay results from rock chip samples taken during the Company’s maiden field program at its Great Bear Project, Northern Canada.
- Truly outstanding silver results from Slider mark another high-grade discovery..
- Located approximately 550m along strike to the NW from the two historical producing underground silver mines that produced 34,200,000oz of refined silver
- Slider, a significantly expanded silver region a newly defined area of interest of at least 1.5km x 1.5km, includes a newly identified westerly extension of the two historical silver mines which includes a zone of native silver bearing breccias
Troy Whittaker, Managing Director, commented: “It’s remarkable that the team has now delineated a total of six high grade Copper, Gold and Silver mineralised districts at Great Bear. Results to date have included massive, mineralised contents of 42.6% Cu, 42.2% Cu, 39.5% Cu, 38.2g/t Au, 29.7g/t Au and 716g/t Ag and, now, those results have now potentially been outshone by this silver discovery. To reel off, with consistency these results in a maiden campaign from around 15-20% of the overall Great Bear Project Area is great. If we are able to marry these results and structures up with the recently completed geophysics and prove depth potential we will be well placed for significant discovery.”
