Eastfield Resources Announces Commencement of Fieldwork at Hedge Hog and CR
Eastfield Resources Announces Commencement of Fieldwork at Hedge Hog and CR
Vancouver, B.C. , July 31, 2019, Eastfield Resources Ltd. (TSX -V: ETF) (“Eastfield”) announces it is
starting the 2019 exploration programs on its wholly owned Hedge Hog project (copper-gold-silver-cobalt) and
CR project (gold). Both Hedge Hog and CR are located central BC several kilometres north of the historical
community of Barkerville, BC (see Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX-V: BGM ) (“Barkerville”) for
additional current act ivity in this area). The community of Quesnel BC is located 60 kilometers to the west.
Hedge Hog is optioned to Surge Exploration Inc. (TSX -V: SUR) (“Surge”) who may earn a 60% interest in
Hedge Hog by making cash and/or share payments totalling $500,000 a nd completing exploration expenses
totalling $2,500,000 over a five-year term.
Central to the Hedge Hog project is an area where massive sulfide boulders with high concentrations of copper,
silver and cobalt were discovered twenty years ago. The most exten sive exploration in the area of the current
Hedge Hog claim was by Hudson Bay Exploration and Development (later Hudbay Minerals Inc. (C: HBM)
(“Hudbay”) between 1999 and 2001 during which time Hudbay completed airborne and ground based
geophysical surveys, extensive geochemical surveys, mechanical excavator trenching and four short diamond
drill holes (556 meters total). The most successful undertaking by Hudbay was trenching in an area called the
Lottie target where a massive sulfide boulder (chalcopyrite rich) grading 24.3% copper and 19.6 g/t silver had
been discovered in 1999. In one mechanical trench near the 1999 discovery five additional massive chalcopyrite
rich boulders were sampled with an average grade of 8.8% copper, 9.6 g/t silver. The Hudbay bo ulder assay
results are historic and replicate samples are not available and consequently have not been confirmed.
In 2018 Surge collected 843 soil samples at Hedge Hog. The current program will consist of test pitting using a
mechanical excavator of anomalous sample sites from the 2018 work. A multiyear exploration permit
authorizing a wide spectrum of activities including geochemical and geophysical surveys, mechanical excavator
trenching, and diamond drilling was issued to Eastfield in 2018.
The CR project (gold) is located approximately 10 kilometers east of the Hedge Hog Property was st aked
by Eastfield in 2014. It covers an area where during 1998 and 1999 Noranda Expl oration discovered
anomalous gold over an area measuring 2.3 by 1.5 kilometers in sediments in a drainage named Arsenic
Creek. In 2014 Eastfield outlined an open-ended induced polarization anomaly 800 by 200 meters in
extent within this target . The current work will entail further surface geochemical gridding and
prospecting.
