Serengeti Options Large Property Package Adjacent to Lorraine Copper
23 Julho 2019 - 8:30AM
Serengeti Resources Inc. (SIR:
TSX-V) ("Serengeti" or "the Company") is pleased to
announce that it has optioned a large group of claims, covering
approximately 21,600 Hectares in central British Columbia, located
170km west-northwest of Mackenzie and 290km northwest of Prince
George. The property lies immediately adjacent to the western
margin of Sun Metals’ and Teck’s Lorraine property and
approximately 10km north of the Lorraine copper-gold deposit.
SIR’s 3,762 Hectare Goose property lies along the western
margin of the claim group and will be combined with the new claims
as the TopCat project. Goose covers several recently
discovered Cu-porphyry MINFILE occurrences.
David Moore, President of Serengeti commented:
“This is an exciting opportunity for Serengeti to option a
significant land package adjacent to the high-profile Sun Metals /
Teck Lorraine project. The new claims lie in an extremely
prospective belt, which is the focus of current BCGS government
mapping and significant historic investment in gold-copper
exploration. We’re aware of at least nine prospective areas that
have seen varying degrees of exploration. Over 50 government
MINFILE occurrences are located within and immediately adjacent to
the claims, the most notable of which include the Slide, Tam and
Misty prospects which were drilled by Teck in the late 2000’s;
Alton Resources’ Hawk prospect, and Cat Mountain, located on the
property which has seen nearly 10,000m of drilling since 1977.”
Option Agreement Terms
Serengeti is optioning the claims from the
Pinchi Group which consists of Donald K Bragg; Dr. Peter E. Fox, P.
Eng.; Donald K. Mustard, P. Eng.; and Barry J. Price P. Geo.; all
of whom have been recognized by the Association for Mineral
Exploration (AME) for their contributions to mineral exploration in
British Columbia over the last 50+ years. An outline of the terms
of the option agreement is as follows. Serengeti may earn a 100%
interest by:
- making staged cash payments to the Group totaling $340,000 over
5 years; $18,000 of which was paid on signing;
- issuing a total of 1,500,000 common shares to the Group in
stages over a 5-year period, with 100,000 shares to be issued on
TSX Venture Exchange approval of the option agreement;
- incurring a total of $1,250,000 in exploration expenditures
over 5-years with a minimum of $100,000 to be spent before the
first anniversary of the agreement;
- granting the Group a 3% net smelter royalty (NSR) on the
property, subject to Serengeti’s right to purchase 2% NSR for
$2-million at any time prior to the first anniversary of commercial
production.

Geology and Mineralization
The newly optioned claims are accessible via
forest service roads from either Mackenzie or Fort St. James.
Over 50 government MINFILE occurrences are located within and
immediately adjacent to the claims, the most notable of which are
summarized below. Note that all the assays quoted are
historic in nature and Serengeti has not yet completed the work
required to verify the results. As such they should be treated with
caution.

Highlights |
Cat Mountain |
Alkalic Cu-Au porphyry prospect close to the contact between the
Triassic Takla Group volcanics and an early Jurassic plutonic
suite. |
Has seen historic exploration, including nearly 10,000m drilling in
69 holes. Historic drill results from the Bet zone include 122m @
1.1g/t Au in hole 90-1 and 100m @ 1.36g/t Au in hole 94-1. Grab
sampling of Au-Ag-Cu-magnetite veins returned trace up to 548g/t
Au. |
Slide |
Alkalic Cu-Au porphyry prospect on the north margin of the Ducking
Creek syenite complex. |
Teck Cominco IP survey over the Slide outlined a 1.5km-long
chargeability anomaly, open to the northwest onto the optioned
claim group. Cu-Au-Ag mineralization was cut in two drill holes
spaced 1000m apart, testing the extent of surface mineralization
and IP chargeability anomalies. Hole JTM06-07 intersected 0.72% Cu
over 55.5m and hole JTM06-10 intersected 0.64% Cu,0.15 g/t Au,30g/t
Ag over 23m. |
Dove, Haw, Raven, Haha Creek |
Porphyry Cu-Au |
Limited historical work, but new regional mapping and age dating of
intrusive rocks has greatly increased the prospectivity of these
occurrences. Historical rock sampling has highlighted a strong
copper response over a 4 Km2 area. |
Work Program
Serengeti is proposing an initial two-phase work
program for 2019.
- Phase I: Detailed review and compilation of
all data sets, with special focus on digitization of data related
to the newly optioned claims. Identify areas of interest on
which to focus initial field efforts. The Cat Mountain data
will be digitized and modelled to determine if the project can be
rapidly advanced to the drill-ready stage.
- Phase II: Complete a two-week surface mapping
and sampling program to validate historical exploration work and to
investigate areas identified in Phase 1, to develop targets for
follow-up geochemical and geophysical surveys. Review drill core
from Cat Mountain.
The 2019 program will potentially lead to
definition geochemical and geophysical surveys in 2020 in order to
develop drill targets for future testing.
