Canada Zinc Metals Corp. (TSXV:CZX) announced preliminary results from a recently completed airborne gravity geophysical program at its British Columbia-based Akie zinc-lead-silver project.
As quoted in the press release:
Results of the helicopter-borne gravity survey achieved the following objectives:
- Identified important structural features on the Akie and Mt. Alcock/Yuen North properties
- Detected several distinct gravity highs that may be related to possible barite-dominated SEDEX style mineralization in conductive sediments of the favourable host Gunsteel Formation
- Discovered new targets including several outlying gravity high targets that are coincident with VTEM anomalies, host stratigraphy, and soil geochemistry
The Company expects the final interpretation to be completed shortly and the preliminary targets will be refined to a number of high priority targets. These targets will be evaluated and tested in upcoming exploration programs on the Akie and Mt. Alcock properties.
Peeyush Varshney, president and CEO of Canada Zinc Metals, commented:
The data collected from the airborne gravity program has elevated our understanding of the structural architecture and basinal setting that underlie the Akie, Yuen North and Mt. Alcock properties. The preliminary interpretive results have identified several key areas of interest on the two property blocks that we will evaluate and refine in the coming months. The highest priority targets will be assessed as potential drill targets to be tested in subsequent exploration programs.
