THE BROKEN HANDLE PROJECT
Overview
Section Subtitle
GEOLOGY
-
Contains documented occurrences of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc mineralization
-
This mineralization occurs as polymetallic and precious metal-bearing veins, contact metamorphic (skarn) copper-lead-zinc-silver-gold occurrences and epithermal precious metal veins
HISTORICAL EXPLORATION
-
After initial exploration in the early 1900’s, other showings and mineral occurrences were discovered in the 1970’s during the construction and extension of the primary forestry service road that transects the project
-
A distinct zinc anomaly emerged from the geochemistry data analysis. The best rock grab sample from follow-up trenching returned 0.27 % Cu, 0.50% Zn, 0.23 opt Ag and 0.003 opt Au
Section Title
RECENT EXPLORATION
-
Recent mapping and sampling by CMG on the project has confirmed prospective geology and mineralization similar to the Franklin mine camp
-
Successfully located shallow surface and underground workings from the turn of the 20th century that have remained largely unexplored for more than a century
-
Recent work east of Burrell Creek has shown that Broken Handle Project’s mineral potential is significantly broader spatially and geologically than initially understood
Section Subtitle
RECOMMENDED EXPLORATION
-
The analytical results and field observations from recent work concludes that additional exploration work is warranted, including soil sampling, prospecting, trenching and geophysical surveys
-
A total expenditure of ~$100,000 is recommended to further evaluate the exploration potential
