Exploration company Northern Discovery Metals completed Stage 1 fieldwork at its flagship Vent copper project in the Alberni Mining Division on Vancouver Island, and said field crews are demobilizing.
Vancouver-based Geomap Exploration carried out the program, which included geological mapping, prospecting, and soil and rock sampling. The work was designed to improve geological understanding of priority areas and assess relationships between geochemical responses, geological contacts, structures, alteration and veining.
“With the fieldwork complete, our focus turns to evaluating the results and determining where to concentrate further exploration,” said Northern Discovery Metals CEO Jared Suchan, Ph.D., P.Geo. “Bringing the new mapping and sampling together with our existing geophysical information will help us assess which areas warrant more detailed investigation and what work is needed to advance them.”
Northern Discovery plans to integrate the field observations and laboratory results, following review and validation, with its existing geological, geochemical and airborne magnetic and VLF-EM datasets. This work will support refinement of the geological model and the ranking of areas for follow-up.
Depending on the results, subsequent exploration may include focused induced polarization surveys or other ground geophysical work. The scope and timing of further fieldwork will be determined after evaluation of the Stage 1 results.
Vent comprises two contiguous mineral claims covering 1,562 hectares of Crown land, 51 kilometers west of Port Alberni.
