Potential Large Massive Sulphide Body Supported by Additional Geophysics on PJX Resources’ Vine Property
Potential Large Massive Sulphide Body Supported by Additional Geophysics on PJX Resources’ Vine Property
Toronto, Ontario – January 7, 2019 – Magnetic geophysics, Magnetotelluric (“MT”) geophysics and Gravity geophysics all support the potential that a large target at depth could be a massive sulphide body similar in area to the Sullivan Zinc-Lead massive sulphide deposit located 35 km north of PJX Resources’ 100% owned Vine Property near Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada.
Highlights
- Recent Three-Dimensional (“3D”) Modeling of Magnetic data has identified a magnetic signature that appears to correlate with a large conductive MT anomaly announced in December 2018. (see 3D images of MT and Magnetic Models http://pjxresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/pjx-vine-mt-mag.jpg)
- The large conductive MT anomaly can be traced for 800 metres (m) horizontally along strike. The sub-vertical MT anomaly starts at about 600 m deep and can be traced down dip to the west to a depth of at least 2 kilometres (km).
- Two-Dimensional Modelling of gravity data suggests the potential for large dense bodies of massive sulphide at depths similar to the MT and magnetic anomalies.
- The anomalies appear to occur above the Moyie fault and adjoining fault splays. Anomalous zinc and lead mineralization have been intersected above these faults, in holes drilled up dip and on strike with the anomalies.
“The addition of a magnetic signature to the large target at depth identified by MT and gravity geophysics strengthens the potential for massive sulphide mineralization on the Vine Property.” states the President and CEO of PJX, John Keating. “Each geophysical technique can be used to identify massive sulphides, however it is not often that we see all 3 correlate with the same target.”
As announced in December, 2018, Management believes the large MT anomaly could represent a folded massive sulphide body along the regional Moyie fault and adjoining fault splays. There is also a smaller, less conductive, MT target closer to surface. Of great significance is how both MT anomalies appear to correlate with the depths of potential massive sulphide identified by gravity data modelling. Neither of these target areas have been drilled.
PJX plans to first test shallow targets for massive sulphide potential before testing the deep target. Shallow targets are at depths between 100 and 200 m. Drilling is planned to commence this month. Additional work to assess the MT and other data is on-going.
