Serengeti Completes 2020 Drilling Program at Kwanika: Resource & Exploration Upside Successfully Identified
20 10월 2020 - 8:30PM
Serengeti Resources
Inc. (SIR:
TSX-V) ("Serengeti" or "the Company") reports that
additional mineralized zones have been intersected in resource
step-out drillholes at Kwanika, and the drilling program is now
complete for 2020. A total of 4,350 metres were drilled in 9 holes
testing a number of exploration targets and resource expansion
opportunities. All core samples have been shipped to the analytical
laboratory and all results are pending. The advanced resource-stage
Kwanika project is ~26,000 hectares, held by Kwanika Copper
Corporation (KCC)* and is located in the northern Quesnel Trough of
British Columbia which hosts numerous porphyry copper-gold
deposits.
Highlights
- A total of
9 drill holes for 4,350
metres, tested
five exploration and resource expansion
targets.
- Holes K-197
and K-202 expanded mineralization south from Central Zone resource
along the Central Fault and demonstrates it
remains open in that direction.
- Hole
K-198 yielded a
long mineralized interval within and below the
proposed mining shape,
and encountered the
bounding fault further west than
anticipated, potentially
expanding the Central
Zone underground mining
shape**.
- K-201 confirms near surface
continuity of Cu-Mo mineralization within
the South Zone
resource.
- K-196 intersected two mineralized intervals, including
a new at one at depth, 500 m
north of the Central Zone, opening exploration potential in that
direction.

David Moore, President and CEO of Serengeti
commented, “We look forward to receiving the assay results from the
recently completed program and these will be released in batches
beginning with the first two holes when they are available from the
laboratory. We believe turning the focus at Kwanika back to
exploration and resource expansion this year will be successful in
adding value to the project. The Serengeti team set out to
demonstrate upside at Kwanika and believe those objectives were
accomplished by demonstrating that the Central Zone resource
remains open for expansion to the south and furthermore determined
that a bounding fault that limits the resource to the west, lies
further west than previously modeled, hence potentially bringing
already identified resource into an eventual mine plan. The South
Zone was also tested for near surface better grade material and a
deep target to the north of the Central Zone continues to offer the
possibility of additional resource discoveries on the property.
Adding additional exploration upside, geophysics at the Rottacker
target, 22 km to the south has identified an IP chargeability
anomaly coincident with a previously identified geological and
geochemical target and now represents a high priority target for
future drilling.”

increase to approximately 67%, with POSCO International Corp.
holding ~33%.
