Rokmaster also owns 100 percent of the Duncan Lake zinc project in the Kootenay Arc of southeastern British Columbia. The project discovery was made by Cominco’s geological team which discovered high-grade stratiform zinc-lead mineralization along both limbs of Duncan Anticline. Teck Resources’ (TSX:TECK.A, TSX:TECK.B, NYSE:TECK) mineral tenures of interest over the Duncan Lake Project discovery area expired in 2015.
Rokmaster began exploration on the Duncan Lake zinc project in July 2017 including soil sampling, prospecting, rock sampling and mapping a large 16-square kilometer area of the Duncan Anticline. During the summer 2018 exploration program, Rokmaster discovered a new zinc occurrence approximately 1.5 kilometers north of the No. 2 Zone and 7.5 kilometers south of the Jubilee Point drill target area. In the summer of 2019, Rokmaster returned to the Duncan Lake property to conduct another exploration program including additional geological mapping and sampling of the southern portion of the project.
Rokmaster’s management team of industry veterans is experienced in fast-tracking projects from discoveries through to commercial production. Veteran independent geologist Jim Oliver is also working with Rokmaster to aid in the company’s development projects. Oliver is a qualified person for the purpose of NI 43-101.
President and CEO John Mirko played an instrumental role in permitting, constructing and operating the MAX Mine in Trout Lake, BC, for which he was a recipient of the “E. A. Scholtz Medal for Excellence in Mine Development” from the Association for Mineral Exploration of British Columbia in 2008, and the “Mining and Sustainability Award” from the Mining Association of British Columbia in 2009.
