alrighta!! what a great way to start a week!
I took at quick look back at the other NRs regarding the area Ket 28
from Sept 9th NR
- The Rock Creek prospect has yielded up to 3.29 g/t (0.10 oz/t) Au, 10.6 g/t (0.31 oz/t) Ag and 1.56% Cu at the Lawless area and up to 53.2 g/t (1.55 oz/t) Au, 15.7 g/t (0.46 oz/t) Ag at the Ket 28 area. A number of widespread samples at Ket 28 also yielded between 1 to 10 g/t Au with anomalous concentrations of barium and Zn.
from the August 14th NR
Rock Creek Gold Trend Joint Venture
The Rock Creek property consists of a number of historic workings that are approximately 2 km south of Highway 3. The primary gold prospect on the property is the Ket 28 gold showing, which was discovered by Crown Resources Corp. during the early 1990's using airborne magnetics followed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling. The initial drilling program consisted of seven RC holes, with drill hole KT-1 intersecting 8.91 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) (0.26 ounces per ton (oz/t)) over 6.10 metres (m). Gold mineralization at the Ket 28 showing is spatially associated with quartz veins and silicified shear/breccia zones hosted in highly deformed and altered Paleozoic Anarchist Formation volcanic and sedimentary rocks. In some cases, gold mineralization is associated with skarn-like alteration zones similar to those at the Buckhorn Mountain gold deposit. The skarn zones are generally spatially associated with alkalic intrusives in contact with Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. A small number of RC and diamond drill holes were drilled at the Ket 28 prospect and surrounding area during 1993 to 1996. No drilling and little exploration have been conducted on the Rock Creek property since 1996. Highlight assay results from diamond drill holes completed during 1994 and 1996 include 4.46 g/t (0.13 oz/t) Au over 11.83 m and 52.18 g/t (1.522 oz/t) Au over 3.35 m from two separate intervals in hole 94RM1-2C, along with 3.92 g/t (0.114 oz/t) Au over 4.57 m in hole 96GH3C and 8.09 g/t (0.236 oz/t) Au over 2.13 m in hole 96GH4C.
The historic mineralization and stratigraphic setting for the Ket 28 prospect and the Rock Creek property have similarities with Kinross's Buckhorn Mountain gold deposit, which exists only 7 km southeast of the Rock Creek property. The Buckhorn Mountain gold deposit was recently commissioned into production and poured its first gold in October, 2008 (see Kinross's news release dated November 5, 2008). The Buckhorn Mountain gold deposit contains proven and probable reserves of 1,993,000 tonnes at an average grade of 15.46 g/t (0.45 ounce per ton) for a total of 990,000 ounces of Au. Gold mineralization at the Buckhorn Mountain gold deposit is associated with skarn zones within Paleozoic sedimentary rocks.
good luck to the team onsite!! stay warm, stay safe and bring home the goods!!
