The discovery of the new Lost Lake Zone demonstrates
the exploration potential of the Sherridon VMS
Property. The 500 m strike length between holes
DH07-56 and DH07-57 falls along an EM conductor that
can be traced over 800 m from south of the railroad
to the shore of Sherlett Lake. This
conductor, identified during Halo's 2006 airborne
geophysical survey, is a prime target for additional
VMS mineralization and is one of the first of 122
targets, many of which are also in areas where there
have been no historical geophysics or drilling.
 
The Lost Lake
Zone is a new discovery at the Sherridon VMS
Property.
All intersections are within 150 m of
surface.
Drilling has encountered significant mineralization
and has proved the continuity of the mineralized
horizon from the near-surface environment to
approximately 150 m subsurface in the central and
western portion of the deposit.
Step-out drill holes to the northeast of the
mineralized horizon encountered limited success.
This is now
believed to be due to an increase in the attitude of
the mineralization from the previously interpreted
40°-45° to greater than 55°.
Drilling programs
have been successful in confirming Inferred Mineral
Resources at the Lost
Lake
deposit.
The Inferred Resources total 2.2 million tonnes
grading 0.9% Cu, 2.7% Zn, 0.6 g/t Au, and 8.9 g/t
Ag.
Included within these mineral resources are
near-surface Inferred Resources of 2.0 million
tonnes grading 0.9% Cu, 2.7% Zn, 0.5 g/t Au, and 8.9
g/t Ag which could potentially be mined by open pit
methods.
