OK2 Minerals Begins Diamond Drilling at the Pyramid Copper Gold Porphyry Project at the Northern Tip of BC’s Golden Triangl...
September 07 2017 - 8:30AM
OK2 Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V:OK) (the “Company” or “OK2”) is pleased to
announce that diamond drilling has commenced at the Pyramid Project
located about 50km north of Dease Lake at the top of the “Golden
Triangle”. The diamond drill program will focus on the copper-gold
porphyry zones identified by previous exploration programs
including the recently completed RC drill program (News Release
dated August 14, 2017). A program consisting of approximately four
holes totaling 2,000 meters is planned.
The large Pyramid project was staked in 2013 and
now after four seasons of detailed exploration including airborne
geophysics, ground geophysics, soil and rock sampling plus detailed
geological mapping the project has demonstrated a strong porphyry
copper gold potential. This under-explored project is located in
the renowned and productive Quesnellia Terrane in Northwest B.C.
Nearby porphyry projects include the Red Chris Cu-Au Mine and
Galore Creek Cu-Au deposit.
This season has been exciting at Pyramid,
beginning with the completion of the RC drill program. The goal of
this program was to further define the known target areas for
follow up diamond drilling. Now that the RC program has been
successfully completed and the results reviewed, the company has
commenced a minimum 2000 meter, 3-4 hole, diamond drill program.
The main areas of focus will be drill testing two zones, the
Central and West Zones with deeper diamond drill holes testing
beyond the limits of the RC drill.
Mike Devji, CEO states: “Over the last four
years the company has spent more than $3 million defining these
targets in a very systematic approach and results every year have
been very encouraging as we keep advancing the project to a drill
ready stage. We look forward to drilling these high priority
targets at depth while fully testing the true potential of this
large-scale porphyry target in BC."
