KERMODE REPORTS XRF RESULTS FOR COPPER RIDGE AT MOUNT SICKER
Kermode Resources Ltd. has released the results of XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis of surface
samples from the Copper Ridge area at the Mount Sicker project. These samples cover
an area of approximately one kilometre from Nugget Creek to the Mona mine shaft.
Qualified person
The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Robert Carrington, professional geologist and professional engineering geologist, a
qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101, responsible for the scientific and
technical information contained herein under NI 43-101 standards. Mr.
Carrington is not independent of Kermode as he has optioned the Tonya and Rye Patch
projects in Nevada to Kermode and conducted exploration work under a
shares for services basis.
Quality assurance/quality control statement
The results reported herein were prepared by using an Olympus Delta portable XRF (model DS 6500CC) using industry-standard chain-of-custody procedures with all samples. The XRF operator, 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. 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 analysis of the samples by hand-held XRF, 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 using the method described herein. The portable XRF is accurate to within a 5-per-cent error for copper content. The company did not use the portable XRF to determine accurate readings for other elements.
