Visionary Metals said recent field work at its Slipstream Copper-Gold Project in Box Elder County, Utah has identified copper and gold mineralization in outcropping N/NE trending quartz feldspar porphyry dikes and adjacent parallel quartz sulfide veins. The company also released the results of recent petrographic analysis, together with strong geochemical results and details of ongoing and planned exploration activities.
“While we continue to collect and analyze data from our active nickel and copper exploration drill programs in Wyoming, with updates expected in the coming weeks, we are particularly excited by the emerging exploration potential at Slipstream. The confirmation of altered and mineralized quartz feldspar porphyry dikes, regional replacement-style mineralization and polymetallic quartz veins represents a highly encouraging combination of geological indicators commonly associated with significant porphyry copper-gold systems worldwide,” said Visionary CEO Wes Adams.
“These findings continue to strengthen our confidence in Slipstream’s potential to host a substantial copper and gold system. We are now advancing systematic structural mapping and preparing for a high-resolution magnetic survey to better define the geometry of the intrusive system, identify key structural controls and prioritize the most compelling drill targets as we work toward unlocking the broader potential of this emerging copper exploration opportunity,” added Adams.
The Slipstream project consists of unpatented mining claims covering key parts of an approximately 37 km northeast-trending corridor containing porphyry-related copper-gold mineralization, proximal skarn, and distal carbonate-replacement (CRD) lead-zinc-silver mineralization centered on a porphyritic granodiorite intrusion within the historic Lucin Mining District in the northern Pilot Range. The project spans the Utah-Nevada border in a tier-one mining jurisdiction with excellent infrastructure.
Petrographic studies of samples collected around the western granodiorite body confirm features consistent with a porphyry copper-gold system. An exposure of strongly silicified and sericitized and mineralized quartz-feldspar porphyry (QFP) dike has been sampled showing Au, 89.19 g/t Ag and 0.31 percent Cu. Copper mineralization is documented in intrusive, skarn and intermediate sulfide veins, with polished thin-section work confirming the classic supergene sequence of chalcopyrite replaced by bornite and rimmed by chalcocite. The company has commenced structural mapping to better understand the relative timing of pre- and post-mineral faulting and is planning a high-resolution drone magnetic and Lidar survey over the claim block at 50-metre line spacing.
“The petrographic results provide important confirmation that Slipstream exhibits several classic characteristics of the upper parts of a porphyry copper-gold system. The combination of proximal skarn, intensely altered QFP dikes, and early gold-bearing quartz veins, together with the spatial association with the granodiorite intrusion, is encouraging,” said Adams.
“We are advancing systematic structural mapping and preparing for a high-resolution magnetic survey to refine the geometry of the intrusive system and structural controls to define drill targets,” added Adams.
ONGOING AND PLANNED EXPLORATION
The company is currently conducting additional structural mapping across the western claim block to better constrain the relative timing and orientation of pre- and post-mineral faults. This work is intended to improve understanding of controls on the early gold-bearing quartz veins and later porphyry-related alteration and mineralization.
Visionary is also expected to commence a high-resolution drone magnetic and Lidar survey over the claim block at 50-meter line spacing. The survey is designed to identify possible subsurface intrusions, zones of intense skarn alteration, identify structural features, and assist in prioritizing areas of stronger alteration or potential porphyry centers for follow-up drilling.
Visionary Metals is a Vancouver-based exploration company with two paths to value creation for shareholders: advancement of two nickel and copper sulfide projects within a 40 km land package in Wyoming’s Granite Mountains as part of a strategic exploration alliance with Teck, and the exploration of the newly acquired Slipstream copper-gold-silver porphyry project spanning tier-one mining jurisdictions of Utah and Nevada. Visionary aims to create value for shareholders by systematically advancing these assets toward discovery and resource definition.
