TEUTON RESOURCES CORP. ("TUO-V")
- Geophysical Target Identified on 4J's Property
Teuton Resources Corp. ("Teuton") is pleased to announce that a major
target has been identified on its wholly-owned 4J's property by integrating
results from a recently completed, Aeroquest EM and Magnetometer survey
with all prior exploration. The property is located 40 km northwest of
Stewart, British Columbia.
Highlights from the interpretation are as follows:
* A complex 300+ metre long EM anomaly lying astride a magnetic low on the
flank of an intrusive body (see figure attached) is situated under thin ice
cover near the height of land on the west side of the Bowser River valley.
* Abundant sulphide-mineralized float boulders have been discovered
emanating from a source under the ice at two sites, both of them local
embayments into the icefield that encroach upon the area of the EM
anomaly. Six samples of galena-bournonite boulders averaged 24.54 oz/ton
silver, 0.047 oz/ton Au and 28.05% lead.
* Very fine-grained, Pb-Zn-Sb-Ag-Au mineralization hosted in argillites
near the edge of the ice has been characterized as sedex or VMS in nature
based on petrographic studies. VMS expert Dr. Ross Sherlock stated that
the 4J's has "potential for a deposit of significant size and value making
it a worthwhile exploration target."
BC government geological publications have previously cited the 4J's
as sharing some affinities with the very rich Eskay Creek gold-silver
deposits located 38 km to the northwest. The EM anomaly further
underscores the comparison. Jonathan Rudd, Ph.D., chief geophysicist for
Aeroquest Limited stated:
"The Eskay-style sulphide target can range from a non-conductive,
chargeable (will respond to an IP survey, but not to an EM survey) feature
to a semi-massive sulphide target which would be chargeable and conductive,
responding to both EM and IP surveys. Of note, the Eskay Creek deposit
itself is known to be a conductive massive sulphide body. So it follows
that where conductive sulphide targets exist, the priority for follow-up
must be very high given the bonanza grades that these sulphides can host.
The 4J anomaly has a known occurrence of fine-grained stratiform
sulphides in argillite in close proximity to the EM anomaly. The
mineralogy of the sulphide is encouraging with the strong presence of
bournonite, a mineral common at Eskay Creek. Graphite is also identified
as a constituent mineral in this occurrence Assays of this occurrence
indicate the presence of excellent grades."
Teuton will send a geological team to investigate the area of the
anomaly as soon as field conditions permit, probably in early July.
Because of the very rapid meltback of icefields in the Stewart region in
recent years, it may well be that parts of the EM anomaly area are already
exposed. The last time the 4J's was accessed by Teuton personnel was in
1998.
Dino Cremonese, P.Eng., president and CEO of Teuton, commented: "Our
decision to use Aeroquest Limited's state-of-the-art geophysical surveys on
many of our prime Stewart area properties has been rewarded by the
discovery of yet another exciting target. If possible we will drill test
the 4J's later on in the field season, or, alternatively, find an option
partner to undertake the work. With our Del Norte, Leduc Silver, Clone,
Tonga and Campbell Ridge properties already contracted for drilling, early
indications are that this will be the busiest field season ever for
Teuton."
