STEWART, British Columbia, Nov. 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd (Mountain Boy) (TSX-V:MTB) (Frankfurt:9MU) reports that the 2016 exploration program on the Surprise Creek property has yielded high grade silver-base metal values from grab sampling of both outcrop and float on the Ataman zone. The property which is in the Stewart area of the Golden Triangle district of British Columbia, is 50 percent owned through a JV with Great Bear Resources Ltd with Mountain Boy as the operator. The zone is located 12 kilometres north from an electric transmission line and paved highway 37A, the main access route to Stewart, British Columbia.
Highlights of the surface sampling from part of the zone include:
Potential Targets on the zone include:
The Ataman zone is at least 200 by 600 metres in horizontal and 650 metres in vertical dimension. At the bottom of Ataman Zone there is a zone of intense sericite-quartz-pyrite alteration with associated quartz veining and replacements which sporadically carry up to 3% pyrite, galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. The sericite dominated zone is approximately 100-120 metres high and 200-220 metres long. Numerous barite-carbonates boulders containing up to 15% galena and 5% sphalerite were found just above the sericite zone. In addition to numerous mineralized zones within the Ataman zone an area of silica sinter was found indicating that Ataman Zone represents a vent area of a VMS system. Approximately 1.3 kilometres south from the Ataman zone numerous float boulders of limestone/chert with up to 1-2% sphalerite were found, indicating a great extent to this mineralized system.
Work in 2017 will focus on defining the full extent of this large mineralized system including drilling, mapping, prospecting and metallurgical studies.
All samples are assayed by Loring Laboratories of Calgary, Alberta. It is an ISO9001 certified laboratory. All gold assays are analyzed by fire methods which includes gravimetric finishes on the individual samples.
