The 200 square km Sherridon VMS Property hosts
the Sherridon Mine which produced 7.7 million tonnes
of ore grading 2.46% copper and 0.8% zinc. An additional six copper-zinc deposits occur on the property, Park Lake being one of them. The property is located only 70 km northeast of the mining and metallurgical complex in Flin Flon operated by HudBay Minerals Inc. Halo plans to mine these near-surface deposits from a central location in the vicinity of the existing all-weather road, railroad and power line.
Objectives
-
To confirm historical
mineralized intervals reported by Hudson Bay in
the 1950s;
-
To test the mineralized
horizon down dip and test the limits of the
historical resource envelope.
The Park Lake deposit was
discovered in 1959 by Hudson Bay Exploration &
Development Co. Ltd. (HBED). Historical resource
estimates calculated by HBED on the Park Lake
deposit are 6.14 million tonnes grading 0.42% copper
and 2.16% zinc. Although the resource estimations
are believed to be reliable, they were calculated
prior to the implementation of National Instrument
43-101. Halo has the option to
earn 100 percent interest in the Park Lake deposit
from HBED through a series of cash and share
payments and escalating work commitments as detailed
in the option agreement. Four
diamond drill holes of a planned 10 hole program
were completed in 2007 with the remaining holes to
be completed after freeze-up.
Significant assays are
provided in the following table.
