VIZSLA RESOURCES COMPLETES EXPLORATION AT THE KATHLEEN
MOUNTAIN PROJECT IN SOUTHWESTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Vizsla Resources Corp. has completed its phase 2 exploration program at the Kathleen Mountain exploration project.
The program comprised a geochemical soil sampling program, a three-dimensional
induced polarization survey and a ground magnetic survey. A total of 1,073 soil samples
were collected and subsequently analyzed by Bureau Veritas. The geophysical survey
was carried out by SJ Geophysics Ltd. on a grid coincident with the soil sampling grid.
The Kathleen Mountain project is located 50 kilometres northeast of Princeton in the
Similkameen mining division of British Columbia. The primary exploration target on the Kathleen
Mountain property was a calc-alkalic-porphyry-molybdenum-copper deposit similar to the
Brenda mines deposit, located about 13 kilometres northwest of the property.
Michael Konnert, president and chief executive officer of Vizsla, stated: "Vizsla is pleased to have
completed the second phase of our exploration program on the Kathleen Mountain
project. Although the results weren't overwhelmingly positive, we have improved our
understanding of the property's potential and will assess our next steps, including project
acquisitions."
The results of the 2018 soil survey indicate that the most prospective of the mineral
concentrations is a previously undiscovered soil anomaly located north-northwest of the
previously discovered Golden Lode showing.
SJ Geophysics produced inversion models for resistivity and chargeability. The
resistivity characteristics highlighted three zones of distinct resistivity that most likely
map the contact between the Pennask and the Osprey Lake batholiths. The inverted
chargeability models indicated that the chargeable values were quite small with no
significant anomalous features.
Property details
The property is located in the Interior Plateau belt of central B.C. and is underlain by three
intrusive bodies:
- The late-Triassic/early-Jurassic Pennask batholith occupies the
northern half of the property;
- The mid-Jurassic Osprey Lake batholith occupies the
southern half of the property;
- The Eocene Otter bodies intrude the Pennask
batholith in the northern portion of the property.
Phase 1 exploration on the property located two historic showings of interest, being the Golden
Lode showing, discovered in 1928, and the Kathleen Mountain showing, discovered in
1947. Historical exploration in the vicinity of the claims was for porphyry deposits in the
early 1950s and 1960s, at the time of early development of the Brenda mines, located
15 kilometres to the north.
