Indicator Intersects Highly Anomalous Cu, Mo, Ag at Rio Verde Zone of the Mohave Project
12 Julho 2011 - 6:30PM
Marketwired
Indicator Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: IME) today announced that
assay results have been received for holes three and four of Phase
One of the 2011 core drilling program on the Mohave Project. Holes
MV11003 and MV11004, located in the Rio Verde Zone, intercepted
anomalous Cu, Ag and Mo values in conjunction with Pb and Zn from
surface to 370.9m and 362.10m respectively. Mohave is located in
north-western Arizona and is 100% owned by Indicator Minerals Inc.
"These holes, located 520 meters SE of the first two holes, are
mineralized over significant intervals and serve to reinforce our
interpretation that Mohave hosts a very large porphyry system that
extends to depth," said Bruce Counts, President and CEO of
Indicator Minerals Inc. "Our strategy is to drill distinct zones
within the 1800 acre geophysical and geochemical anomaly at Mohave
to identify and focus in on areas with ore grade
mineralization."
Drill Highlights:
Holes MV11003 and MV11004 were located in the Rio Verde Zone
which is characterized as a Cu-Mo-Ag bearing Pb-Zn domain within a
high chargeability anomaly. The holes were collared from the same
setup with both holes inclined at -60 degrees angles with MV11003
drilled north to a depth of 370m and MV11004 drilled to the south
to a depth of 362m. Assay highlights from the core holes are as
follows.

Drill Hole Geology:
The third and fourth drill holes of the program were located in
the Rio Verde Zone. They were collared in a mineralized Precambrian
granite complex within potassic and argillic alteration. In hole
MV11003 the mineralized Precambrian granite complex was cut by
several monzonite porphyry, diabase and granite/pegmatite dykes
before it was truncated by a high angle fault. Below the high-angle
fault was a potassic altered quartz monzonite stock. Hole MV11004
was dominated by the Precambrian granite complex cut by monzonite
porphyry, diabase and granite-pegmatite dykes. A major low angle
fault was intersected from 239 to 247m (784 to 811 ft) and below
the fault the Ag-Pb-Zn grades decreased significantly.
The mineralization at Mohave is complex with multiple overprints
dominated by a potassic Cu-Mo-Ag stockwork and related breccias. A
younger Mo dominant and locally Pb-Zn-Ag bearing, mineralization
event is also present and appears to be related to a
granite/pegmatite-hosted fluorite bearing molybdenite event.
Drill Program:
Indicator's 2011 drill program is being conducted in two phases.
The first phase, currently underway, is intended to test a number
of compelling targets and distinct zones over a wide area
identified through Induced Polarization (IP), ground magnetic
surveys, extensive rock and soil sampling as well as structural,
geological and alteration mapping. The second phase of drilling
will build on the results from the first phase and is scheduled for
Q3/Q4 of 2011.
In the first phase of drilling as many as 12 to 15 inclined core
holes to depths up to 300m (1000ft) are planned. To date, the
company has completed nine holes, each of which has intersected
mineralization over significant intervals. Additional assay results
for the completed holes are pending and the tenth drill hole is in
progress.
Mohave Copper Project:
The Mohave Project is located in north-western Arizona and is
interpreted as a large-scale copper porphyry with significant
amounts of silver and molybdenum and a late stage overprint of
molybdenum-only and lead-zinc-silver mineralization. Exploration
work has identified extensive copper mineralization over a large
area of the project coincident with a large Induced Polarization
(IP) anomaly and complimentary intrusive dyke swarms and structural
features. The geology of the Mohave Project is believed to be
analogous in many ways to the Bagdad and the Mineral Park Copper
Porphyry Mines.
QA/QC
Mr. Bruce Counts, P.Geoph., President & CEO of Indicator, is
a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 and is responsible for the
design and execution of the programs carried out by Indicator on
the Mohave property, and for the contents of this release. Core
cutting, logging and sampling are completed in Indicator's secure
facility at Wikieup, Arizona. Samples are transported to the
Skyline Labs in Tucson for drying, weighing, crushing as well as
final preparation and analysis.
All samples are analyzed for 49 elements using Inductively
Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrotrometry (ICP-MS) finish. In addition,
total copper and total molybdenum assays are acquired by three acid
digestion with an Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) finish on
over-limits of Cu greater than 1000ppm and Mo greater than 500ppm
as well as on Pb and Zn greater than 10,000ppm. Gold is determined
by 30g Fire Assay (FA) fusion with an Atomic Absorption
Spectroscopy (AAS) finish. Indicator includes standards and
duplicates in addition to the laboratory's internal quality control
work. A comprehensive standard and duplicate sample program
including reject analyses by ALS Chemex Analytical Laboratories of
Vancouver, Canada is underway.
