Jaxon Mining completes two more drill holes at Hazelton

JAXON DRILL TESTS HIGH CHARGEABILITY ANOMALIES AT HAZELTON

Jaxon Mining Inc. is providing the following update from its fall/winter, 2017, drill program at the company's Max silver-zinc target area at the Hazelton project in the Skeena Arch in British Columbia.

Highlights:

  • Two additional holes completed -- 270 metres north of hole 1;
  • Testing high-chargeability IP (induced polarization) anomaly with modelled 50-metre thickness and greater-than-200-metre strike length;
  • IP target in close proximity to sulphide outcrop rich in zinc- and silver-bearing sulphosalts;
  • Moving drill 500 metres west and upslope 200 vertical metres to second sulphide-in-outcrop zone.

Jaxon Mining has completed the second and third drill holes, JAX 17-02 and JAX 17-03, for a length of 201 metres and 150 metres respectively. Both holes were drilled from the same pad location, approximately 270 metres north of drill hole JAX 17-01. These first three holes test chargeability targets (the Hamlin IP target zone) from the Volterra 2-D IP inversion below the survey line 4000E. The associated 2-D inversion cross-section model depicts flat-lying high-chargeability features with thickness of 50 metres and individual strike length of greater than 200 metres. This IP target is in close proximity to outcropping sulphide exposures previously channel sampled at the 550 zone and rich in zinc- and silver-bearing sulphosalts (see Jaxon's news release dated Aug. 9, 2017), as well as airborne geophysical VTEM (volcanic time-domain electromagnetic) conductive zone targets.

Jaxon is moving the drill to a third location about 500 metres farther west of the Hamlin IP target zone and upslope approximately 200 vertical metres to a location near the sulphide exposures trenched and channel sampled at the 724 zone (see Jaxon's news release dated Aug. 9, 2017). At this location, the sulphide exposures are also rich in zinc- and silver-bearing sulphosalts and are closely associated with iron pyrite which Jaxon interprets as being highly chargeable in the 3-D Volterra detailed IP survey.

At surface, the area is characterized by a red-brown gossanous colouration in the bedrock exposed in a rockslide on the north side of a creek gully. A strong 3-D IP chargeability anomaly is developed at surface, co-incident with the mineralized outcrops, and is well developed at depth for a strike length of over 200 metres with a co-incident low resistivity anomaly. The geophysical anomaly and mineralized exposures are also coincident with very anomalous antimony-silver-zinc soil geochemistry. This zone is known as the 700 north zone IP anomaly. Drill hole JAX 17-09 will commence today and will be drilled at an 80-degree dip to an estimated depth of 120 metres.

All drill core in wooden sample boxes are removed by Jaxon staff from the drill sites daily and transported to Jaxon's secured drill core logging and core cutting facility in Smithers, B.C. After completion of the drill core saw cutting and QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) preparation for each hole, the batch of samples are sent by secure transport to the sample preparation laboratory and analytical facilities in Langley, B.C. The company expects the first batch of drill core samples to be shipped at or around Nov. 12.
