Marketwired
Indicator Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: IME) today announced that it
has commenced the 2011 exploration program at its 100% owned Mohave
Copper Porphyry Project located in northwest Arizona.
"This is an exciting time for Indicator shareholders," says
Bruce Counts, President and CEO of Indicator. "There is strong
technical evidence to suggest that the Mohave Project has the
potential to host a very large copper-molybdenum-silver porphyry
deposit. We have excellent copper, molybdenum and silver results
from rock and soil sampling, a classic porphyry signature from
previous IP work and the chance to evaluate economic potential with
the first modern drill program in the property's history."
Key Point Summary
-- Induced Polarization (IP) and Ground Magnetic surveys underway
-- Two phase, 10,000 meter core drilling program planned
-- Drilling contracts executed
-- Phase One drilling to start beginning of April, 2011
The 2011 Exploration Program
The program will include up to 10,000m of diamond drilling as
well as extensive Induced Polarization (IP) and Ground Magnetic
surveys. IP surveys are the primary geophysical tool used to define
the extent of mineralization within a copper porphyry deposit. A
previous IP survey at Mohave identified a chargeability anomaly
more than 2km in diameter that is consistent with those obtained
over other productive copper porphyry deposits in the region. This
year Indicator will extend the previous IP survey with the
collection of more than 47 line-km of data to the west and south
where the anomaly remains open. (Click here to view the IP Survey
and chargeability anomaly)
The core drilling program will be conducted in two phases with
the first phase of 5,000m set to begin in early April and designed
to test three or four spatially distinct areas of the property. The
second phase of drilling will follow-up on phase one results and is
scheduled for Q3, 2011. Preparation work has begun to improve road
access and ready drill pads for the program.
The Mohave Property
The Mohave Project is located in north-western Arizona and is
interpreted as a large-scale, copper porphyry deposit with
significant silver and molybdenum credits. Exploration work has
identified extensive copper mineralisation over a large area of the
project coincident with an Induced Polarisation (IP) anomaly and
complimentary structural features. The geology of the Mohave
Project is believed to be analogous to the Freeport McMoRan Bagdad
Copper Porphyry Mine, which is located within 35km of the
property.
