- Victory has completed its initial mag survey of its 1,688-hectare Tahlo Lake Property
- Findings confirm that historic copper (Cu) in soil anomaly overlies one of the linear mag highs and that the Northwest striking Morrison Fault is clearly shown by the mag survey and runs immediately west of the aforementioned copper anomaly
- British Columbia's Babine Copper-Gold Porphyry District contains American Eagle Gold Corp.'s (TSXV: AE)'s NAK property, the Morrison deposit and the historical Bell & Granisle mines
VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA (May 16 th 2023) Victory Battery Metals Corp. (CSE: VR) (FWB: VR61) (OTC: VRCFF) ("Victory" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has completed its initial mag survey of its recently expanded Tahlo Lake Property in British Columbia's prolific Babine Copper-Gold Porphyry District. The Tahlo Lake property is 8 km northwest of American Eagle Gold's (TSXV: AE) NAK Property.
"Our Exploration team has initiated this initial mag survey to gain a better understanding of the geology and structure of the property," noted Mr. Mark Ireton, Victory President and CEO. "The team has found it very interesting that the historic Cu in soil anomaly overlies one of the linear mag highs and has confirmed that the Northwest striking Morrison Fault is clearly shown by the mag survey and runs immediately west of the aforementioned copper anomaly."
"Building on the information gained through the mag survey, the exploration team will be focussing on the area of coincident Cu in soil and mag high to assess whether these features are related to mineralization related to biotite feldspar porphyry (BFP) of the Babine Igneous suite, which is the lithology that hosts the significant Babine Porphyry deposits such as the Nak, Morrison, Bell and Granisle," said Mr. Helgi Sigurgeirson, Victory Geologist.
Mag Survey Details
The survey was conducted by Helicopter-borne high resolution aeromagnetic data. The survey utilized state-of-the-art geophysical instrumentation attached directly to the helicopter. Magnetic sensors are flown in a non-magnetic and non-conductive nose stinger configuration. Compared to conventional slung bird-type survey systems, this innovative design allowed the survey to be safely flown at reduced terrain clearance to minimize noise, improve resolution, and reduce the need for complex corrections to the data. Geophysical data and preparation of maps deployed industry-standard Geosoft algorithms and mapping software to show the geomagnetic properties of the survey area. The Tahlo Lake survey block was flown in a systematic low-level grid pattern as determined by Victory Battery Metals.
About The Tahlo Lake Property
- 1688-hectare property lies within the Babine Copper-Gold Porphyry District that contains American Eagle's NAK Property (TSXV: AE)
- A regional geochemical survey silt sample in the center of the property returned over the 96th percentile for Cu and over the 98th percentile for Zn. Surrounding RGS samples form a cluster of elevated Cu and Zn values
- Noranda reported a linear soil anomaly approximately 50 m x 500 m, trending NNW, with Cu values ranging from 60 to 720 ppm Cu to the southwest of the area drained by the highly anomalous silt sample site. Noranda never followed up on the anomaly and no work has been reported since
- A regional till sample taken about half a kilometer east of the soil anomaly returned elevated Cu and highly anomalous Zn (>98th percentile). A till sample about 2 km down ice from this site on the returned over the 95th percentile for Au.
- Another till sample on the newly staked property returned 49 ppb Au, which is over the 98th percentile for the region
