Boxxer Gold Corp. (TSXV:BXX) released an update on the second of two diamond drill holes completed recently at its British Columbia-based DOK copper-gold-molybdenum-silver project.
Highlights include:
- Diamond drill hole (DDH) DOK-2104-02, with a core length of 424.9m, intersected visible occurrences of chalcopyrite mineralization from a core depth of 36.6m to 389.5m.
- Trace bornite was noted to occur in the core from 57.3m to 110.3m and from 389.5m to 424.9m (end of hole).
- The mineralization observed in DDH DOK-2014-02 is hosted in alternating strongly potassic and phyllic altered volcanics of the Stuhini Group and multiple quartz monzonite intrusives.
- Hydrothermal biotite and gypsum veining as well as disseminated and fracture controlled pyrite and magnetite occur in variable concentration throughout the core, and
- Assays for the drill core from DDH DOK-2014-01are expected to be received within the next few weeks.
Jason Riley, president of Boxxer, commented:
The reported visible copper mineralization hosted in strong potassic and phyllic alteration from this drill hole is encouraging as it suggests continuity to the mineralization and alteration observed in DDH DOK-2014-01. The location of the DOK property between the large copper deposits to the south and the active exploration currently underway north of the Stikine River combined with the large dimensions of the surface mineralization, geochemistry, alteration, and geophysical signatures support the presence of a porphyry copper system on the DOK project. The assays for the core samples from the two drill holes will be required before any assessment of the significance of the reported mineralization in both drill holes can be completed.
