TEUTON DRILLS RAM PROPERTY IN BC'S ACTIVE GOLDEN TRIANGLE
Teuton Resources Corp. is currently drilling targets at its Ram property in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, focusing on two newly discovered (2024) mineralized zones that exhibit characteristics of both porphyry copper-gold and VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide) systems. The Ram is jointly owned with Silver Grail Resources Ltd. Following the conclusion of the drill program at the Ram, an IP geophysical survey at the Clone property is tentatively scheduled for September, should weather and personnel conditions allow.
Key highlights
-
Strategic location within the active southern Golden Triangle, surrounded by Goliath Resources' expanded claim block following their Golddigger discovery;
-
Multiple deposit types identified in 2024: porphyry copper-gold (Malachite zone) and VMS copper-gold-silver (Mitch zone);
-
Drilling is proceeding well, about 900 metres drilled to date.
Market context and regional significance
The Ram property sits in the heart of one of Canada's most active exploration regions, where recent discoveries by Goliath Resources and Dolly Varden Silver have renewed focus on the southern Golden Triangle. Teuton's legacy land position, with many claims staked over 30 years ago, now appears as strategic
"islands"
within Goliath's expanded holdings, potentially benefiting from the regional exploration momentum and geological understanding.
Discovery details
Malachite porphyry zone
The Malachite zone represents a 450-metre-by-150-metre porphyritic outcrop with widespread malachite staining and magnetite veinlets. Surface sampling in 2024 has identified gold-copper mineralization at many points within the zone.

Statistical summary (35 grab samples)
-
Gold: trace to 2.33 g/t (average 0.35 g/t);
-

Mitch VMS zone
Located 500 m southwest of the Malachite zone, the Mitch zone contains en-echelon massive sulphide stringers up to seven centimetres wide, exhibiting classic VMS characteristics with robust precious metal grades:

-
Sample Q310447-grab: 1.95 g/t Au, 58.63 g/t Ag, 5.03 per cent Cu (pyrite-chalcopyrite vein).
Statistical summary (25 grab samples):
-
Gold: trace to 7.01 g/t (average 0.82 g/t);
-
Silver: 0.12 to 58.63 g/t (average 5.90 g/t);
-
Copper: 0.006 per cent to 5.02 per cent (average 0.30 per cent).
Geological model and exploration rationale
The Ram property hosts Upper Triassic Stuhini rocks and Lower Jurassic Hazelton volcano-sedimentary sequences intruded by early Jurassic porphyries, potentially correlative with the productive Goldslide intrusive suite. This geological setting is favourable for both porphyry and VMS-style mineralization. It is also favourable for Red Mountain type, precious metal mineralization described as high-grade (three g/t to 20 g/t) gold mineralization in semi-tabular pyrite plus pyrrhotite stockworks five m to 29 m thick with intense sericite alteration surrounded by disseminated sphalerite plus pyrrhotite.
The Mitch zone sits within a discrete north-south-trending magnetic anomaly on the edge of a one km long oval magnetic feature, consistent with porphyry-related alteration signatures.

Exploration timeline and strategy
Current activities
Drilling is now under way at the Ram property targeting both the Malachite and Mitch zones:
-
Contractor: Hy-Torque Drilling Ltd. with helicopter support from Kestrel Helicopters and Tseax Aviation/Yellowhead Helicopters;
-
Likely September, 2025,
IP geophysical survey: four one km lines on Clone property testing porphyry copper-gold potential.
Strategic approach
The exploration program follows a systematic approach to test both near-surface high-grade VMS targets and deeper porphyry potential, maximizing discovery probability across multiple deposit models.
Clone property -- an additional opportunity
Recent surface work at the Clone property (2023 to 2024), jointly owned with Silver Grail Resources Ltd., has identified encouraging gold-copper values in an area distinct from the historic Main zone where several million dollars were spent on high-grade gold discoveries in the 1990s. The new target area, as is the case with the Ram property, sits near the critical Triassic-Jurassic contact and exhibits:
-
Wide-spread copper rock geochemical anomalies suggesting buried porphyry potential;
-
Gold values ranging to 93.7 g/t in cross-cutting structures;
-
Anomalous bismuth (up to and exceeding 10,000 parts per billion), molybdenum and tungsten signatures suggesting a nearby intrusive source;
-
Tertiary age porphyritic and felsic dikes similar in description as those carrying gold values at Goliath's Golddigger discovery;
-
Tertiary age intrusions.
The new zone of interest is slated for four km of IP survey lines, weather permitting, likely to be carried out in mid-September of 2025. The presence of pervasive anomalous copper values on surface as indicated by a number of samples taken in 2023 to 2024 suggests this area could be in the vicinity of a buried porphyry deposit, however at this stage of exploration it is only conjecture. More work is necessary to prove the hypothesis and positive results from an IP survey could be a large step in that direction.
Another possible theory derives from recent exploration work at Goliath Resources' Golddigger property (southeast of the Clone) where overlooked Eocene age dikes have been shown to contain gold values with associated bismuth, molybdenum and tellurium values. The prospective area on the Clone has been sampled with gold values ranging from trace to 93.7 g/t. Anomalous to extremely anomalous values in bismuth have also been recorded in this area along with many anomalous values in molybdenum as well as tungsten. One sample taken in 1995 registered values in excess of 10,000 ppb bismuth.
Mapping in 1996 on the Clone was completed by personnel from Homestake Mining, then owners of the Eskay Creek mine. All of this work was done while the property belonged to Teuton and Silver Grail, and although it would now be termed historical under the auspices of National Instrument 43-101, it is
believed to be reliable. Dikes as found on the Clone property in this area have been described as felsic and porphyritic, the same general type as at Goliath Resource's Golddigger property. Plans are to age date the dikes on the Clone this year to see if they are actually from the Eocene (the Eocene is a subdivision of the tertiary).
Note: Readers are cautioned that mineralization described on Goliath Resources Golddigger property is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Clone property.
QA/QC
(quality assurance/quality control)
All samples were crushed and pulverized at the MSA laboratory in Langley, B.C., using technique PREP910. The pulps were dropped delivered to MSA at their laboratory where Au was tested on 30 g nominal samples by fire assay (MSA method FAS-111). An additional 51 elements were tested on 0.5 g splits using aqua regia digestion and ultra trace level ICP-AES analysis (MSA method IMS-130). Samples with overlimit Ag, Cu, Zn were reanalyzed using ore-grade aqua regia digestion and ICP-ES analysis (MSA methods ICF-6x). MSA is an accredited facility.

About Teuton
Resources Corp.
Teuton owns interests in more than 20 properties in the prolific Golden Triangle area of northwest British Columbia and was one of the first companies to adopt what has since become known as the prospect generator model.
Teuton was the original staker of the Treaty Creek property assembling the core land position in 1985. It presently holds a 20-per-cent carried interest in Treaty Creek (carried until such time as a production decision is made) as well as a 0.98-per-cent NSR in the claims covering the Goldstorm gold-silver-copper deposit. A 0.49-per-cent NSR is owned in the peripheral claims. Neither of the NSRs is subject to a buyback. Teuton also owns many other royalties in claim packages south of Seabridge Gold's KSM property and Newmont Mining's Brucejack property.
