/CNW/ - Rokmaster Resources Corp. ("
Rokmaster
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that review of
available data from historic exploration work conducted on newly acquired claims has commenced. In addition to noting several zinc-lead
occurrences similar in nature to those at the Company's Duncan Lake Project (the "Project"), occurrences of basaltic copper-bearing talus-float
rocks were discovered on a steep overburden-covered area 1km east of the
Duncan Peninsula
, 6km southeast of the central portion (Section B)
of the Project, directly above the Duncan Forest Service haul road.
The immediate hillside is thought to be underlain in part by altered basic volcanic rocks of the Index Formation. The schistose copper bearing float
contained disseminated chalcocite and magnetite, assaying up to 5.9% copper and 12.3 grams silver and 107 ppm zinc. These historic mineral
occurrences and significant soil and geophysical anomalies were originally discovered and periodically explored from 1991 to 1997 by consulting
geologist
W. Don Sutherland
, P. Eng., with assistance from INCO Exploration and Technical Services Ltd., Regional Resources Ltd. and Hudson
Bay Exploration Ltd. Two diamond drill holes totaling 306 meters were drilled in 1993 and 1996. The 1993 hole tested a magnetic trend near the
copper float occurrence coinciding with a moderate copper geochemical anomaly, with the 1996 hole testing a recently exposed 3.5 km long rusty
caliche zone between the haul road and
Duncan Lake
. No mineralization of economic significance was encountered in either hole. Targets
remaining open include a large zinc-copper soil anomaly and a coincident VLF Electro Magnetic anomaly that have not been trenched or drilled to
date. Petrographic studies by INCO of 4 samples of the basaltic copper bearing float rock suggested the chalcocite mineralization is primary.
The Company's field crews have commenced work on the Project in preparation for drilling. Follow up work in and around the copper area will
search for the source of the high grade float and additional evidence of a Besshi type copper-zinc deposit(s).
