KERMODE REPORTS XRF RESULTS FOR SAMPLES FROM THE 911 SHOWING AT MOUNT SICKER
Kermode Resources Ltd. has released the results of XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis of select surface
samples from the 911 showing area at the Mount Sicker project.
Note that all samples were collected by Justin Deveault and Justin McNutt from 911
Exploration Corp.
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 here 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 Kelly Funk, completed the XRF analysis in October,
2024. Mr. Funk is not independent of Kermode as he is part of the vendor group for the
property purchase option agreement on Mount Sicker and other projects, plus he is
compensated under a shares for services agreement for the costs of the XRF analysis.
The XRF 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
analyzes only a small portion of the sample, so half the sample was crushed to pass an
80-mesh screen before testing. During analyses 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.
