TerraX expands high grade Au-Mo-Cu-Ag zone at Ryan Lake Porphyry
14 December 2017
TerraX Minerals Inc. is pleased to announce high-grade surface sampling results from the Ryan Lake area on its Northbelt property, one of eight new high-grade target areas identified on the Yellowknife City Gold Project during fieldwork this summer. Exploration this summer focused on defining the surface extent of polymetallic mineralization associated with the Ryan Lake intrusion originally identified in 2013. A total of 230 surface outcrop samples were taken in the Ryan Lake area with assay results up to 97.7 g/t Au, 32.4 g/t Ag, 2.09% Cu, and 0.32% Mo. The gold mineralization at surface is widespread and appears to stretch for 3.8 km along the eastern contact with the Ryan Lake intrusion, with high grade molybdenum mineralization overlapping the gold and covering 3.0 kilometers of that strike length. The high grade gold trend also appears to extend gold mineralization identified at Shear 17 a further 2 kilometers north of its previously known extent.
