Trailbreaker Resources Receives Exploration Permit for Swan Target at Atsutla Gold Project
06 Maio 2024 - 8:45AM
Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. (TBK.V)
(“Trailbreaker” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it has
received a multi-year area-based exploration permit for the Swan
target at the Atsutla Gold Project in northern British Columbia
(BC). The permit will allow Trailbreaker to conduct advanced
exploration at the Swan target, including geophysical surveying and
future diamond drilling, in order to better define the
mineralization system.
Trailbreaker is currently planning its 2024
exploration activities for Swan, including an induced polarization
(IP) survey covering a strong multi element geochemical anomaly
coincident with argillic alteration. The survey is designed to
identify any chargeability and resistivity features potentially
associated with mineralized alteration zones. As porphyry deposits
often form in clusters, additional surface exploration will be
conducted concurrently with the IP program to continue exploring
for new mineralized targets at the Atsutla Gold Project.
Message from the President
“Receiving our exploration permit for Swan is a
big step toward advancing the Atsutla Gold Project. We now have the
capability to be more aggressive with our exploration efforts in
order to advance the Swan target.” – Daithi Mac Gearailt
Swan Target Description
The Swan target is located in the eastern
Atsutla Gold Property area, in northern BC. Swan is a potential
gold-silver-copper (Au-Ag-Cu) porphyry system, defined by a 900 m
by 700 m Au-Ag-Cu-arsenic (As) – antimony (Sb) – molybdenum (Mo) –
lead (Pb) soil geochemical anomaly along a gossanous ridge. The
host setting is a leucogranite porphyry intrusion with argillic and
phyllic alteration assemblages. Bedrock sampling by Trailbreaker in
the centre of the soil anomaly has returned values up to 11.5 g/t
Au and 16.8 g/t Ag.
Historic IP surveying around the Swan target
took place in the valley west of the soil anomaly. This work
focused on a molybdenum anomaly associated with a semi-circular
chargeability high. This chargeability feature partially wraps
around the soil anomaly, but the survey dimensions do not cover the
entire anomaly. Additionally, IP surveying will be valuable in
identifying potential chargeability highs, which may indicate high
sulphide content and associated alteration zonation. As well,
resistivity characteristics may help vector toward felsic intrusive
centers and high-density quartz veining which would indicate the
potassic core of a porphyry system.

include the strong Au geochemical anomaly, phyllic and argillic
alteration zones, and the partial chargeability high ring feature
defined from a historic IP survey.
About the Atsutla Gold Project
The Atsutla Gold project covers over 40,000
hectares of underexplored and prospective ground in northwestern
BC. The project covers a portion of the Atsutla mountain range 70
km south of the BC-Yukon border. Placer gold was recorded in the
area during the early 1900s, with very little subsequent mineral
exploration.
The project is centered over the crustal-scale
Teslin-Thibert fault system that marks the division between the
Quesnel and Cache Creek terranes. Gold mineralization is associated
with Mesozoic intrusive batholiths that are the predominant
geological unit on the property. Trailbreaker has discovered five
significant zones of gold mineralization across the property. These
are:
- Swan
Zone – discussed above – Au-Cu-Ag porphyry target defined
by a 900 m by 700 m multi-element soil geochemical anomaly with
rock samples grading up to 11.5 g/t Au and 16.8 g/t Ag.
- Highlands
Zone – A 750 m by 600 m area in the western Atsutla Gold
property region, with veins containing coarse visible gold and
assaying up to 630 g/t Au and 1,894 g/t Ag.
- Christmas
Creek Zone – Gold-bearing quartz veins 2 km east of the
Highlands Zone, with rock samples assaying up to 102 g/t Au and 524
g/t Ag.
- Snook
Zone – High-grade veins 3.5 km northeast of the Highlands
Zone with rock samples assaying up to 53.3 g/t.
- Willie Jack
Zone – 1.25 km long gold-in-soil anomaly with soil samples
assaying up to 3.77 g/t Au and rock samples up to 9.9 g/t Au.
