IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. (TSXV:IB) reports that it has received permits and approvals for its planned drill program in Juab County, Utah.
The press release is quoted as saying:
The drilling program will consist of up to 35 holes in the Topaz Mountain West and Sand Pass NE quadrangles totalling as much as 5,250 metres of reverse circulation drilling to test target zones in the volcanic tuff and in the underlying Bell Hill Dolomite unit along and on either side of a N 30° E-trending fracture zones in the claim area immediately south of the Starvation Canyon Wash. These holes will test the presence and concentration of fluorite-bertrandite replacement of dolomite fragments as in Materion’s (formerly Brush Wellman) nearby Spor Mountain mine pits and will penetrate the volcanic tuff layer to test the underlying Bell Hill Dolomite for hydrothermal alteration and the presence of fluorite and bertrandite mineralization.
IBC’s VP of Exploration, Lee Rice says:
“The 2010 Utah airborne survey identified a number of high interest target zones that are worthy of further investigation with a comprehensive drilling program. The Company’s focus is to quantify the potential beryllium mineralization,” continued Mr. Rice, “which we hope will underpin continued downstream manufacturing growth, as well as provide a strategic upstream resource to support our R&D efforts, such as our nuclear fuels initiative, which has the potential to drive future consumption.”
