KERMODE REPORTS XRF RESULTS FOR SELECT SAMPLES FROM COPPER CANYON
Kermode Resources Ltd. has released the results of XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis of select surface
samples from the Copper Canyon area at the Mount Sicker project.
Note that all samples were collected by Justin Deveault and Justin McNutt from 911
Exploration Corp. on July 5, 2024. The XRF results were received July 29, 2024.
Qualified person
The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Jacques Houle, PEng, a qualified person responsible for the scientific and technical
information contained herein under National Instrument 43-101 standards.
Quality assurance/quality control statement
The results reported herein were prepared by using an Olympus Delta portable XRF
unit (model DS 6500CC) using industry-standard chain of custody procedures with all
samples. The XRF operator, named Clive Khan, is independent of Kermode and
completed the XRF analysis in July, 2024.
The XRF unit was calibrated prior to each test as follows. At each start-up, a calibration coin
was analyzed and subsequent analysis was only performed when a pass was obtained,
which was calculated internally by the XRF instrument. The XRF unit was set to
geochemical mode and a full 200-second test was run to determine copper content.
While the instrument detects many elements, only copper was tested. The XRF
unit analyzes only a small portion of the sample, so half the sample was crushed to pass an
80-mesh screen before testing. During analysis of the samples by a hand-held XRF unit,
non-blind control samples were analyzed to monitor the XRF instrument calibration and
performance. A correction factor for all base metals was applied to the raw data. The
correction factor was determined by analyzing samples that had previously been
analyzed at a commercial laboratory. These rock samples were of varying
concentrations and analyzed by the hand-held XRF unit using the method described herein.
The portable XRF unit is accurate to within a 5-per-cent error for copper content. The company did not use
the portable XRF unit to determine accurate readings for other elements.
