VANCOUVER, BC, April 21,
2022 /CNW/ - Garibaldi Resources (TSXV: GGI)
(the "Company" or "Garibaldi") is pleased to announce
that further to the company's 2021 ZTEM survey results (see news
release March 31, 2022) at Nickel
Mountain in the Eskay Camp of northwest British Columbia, 3D processing has identified
several new low-resistivity ZTEM responses located 5 km northeast
of the E&L nickel-copper-cobalt massive sulphide zone,
including an exciting new anomaly at target B1/White Fox.
The flagship E&L project generated especially promising deep
penetrating ZTEM data providing renewed focus on several drill
targets to test the large geophysical anomalies beneath and along
trend from E&L, for mineralization. The ZTEM survey over the
remainder of the claim group also identified an unexpected
alignment of high priority targets, with similar features. The
B1 ZTEM anomaly which rises from a great depth like E&L,
extends vertically up to the B1 VTEM conductor near
surface.
Several other features elevate the B1 target to high priority
status besides the coincidence of a ZTEM anomaly with a VTEM
conductor. The presence of gabbroic intrusions of the Nickel
Mountain Complex, and numerous in-situ surface samples and
mineralized boulder train samples with elevated copper, zinc
and lead over a broad 3km strike length. Also, elevated MgO
concentrations up to levels found at the E&L intrusion, along
with anomalous nickel, indicating the potential for magmatic
sulphides.
The ZTEM data for the B1 target, which has not been drill tested
provides a key target for the 2022 property scale field program
which is highlighted by the following observations:
- The property-wide ZTEM survey has identified several
low-resistivity responses that plunge to considerable depth, and
also correlate with the location of near surface conductors from
the 2017 and 2018 VTEM surveys. Coinciding ZTEM and VTEM anomalies
offer strong support for the B1 target. The ZTEM response rising to
surface from great depth, may be highly significant.
- Similar low-resistivity responses to those beneath the E&L
mineralized zones continue along a 15 km long trend of gabbroic
intrusions within the Hazelton Group, striking to the northeast
towards Mount Shirley. A corridor within this belt of coincident
ZTEM-VTEM responses with clusters of samples containing elevated
Base Metals, aligns over a 3 km trend.
- The modelled ZTEM responses along strike coincides with base
metal assays from in-situ samples and boulder trains with elevated
nickel, copper and zinc. Additional conductive data supports an
alignment along the northeast strike of E&L extending over and
continuing past B1.
The primary exploration focus will be on the robust ZTEM-VTEM
targets supported by geochemistry, and located along strike from
E&L. Garibaldi will provide shareholders with more forthcoming
analysis of the most prominent amongst the notable dozen new ZTEM
anomalies at Nickel Mountain, as they become available.
Jeremy Hanson, Garibaldi's VP
Exploration, stated: "We now have numerous ZTEM anomalies
corresponding to VTEM conductors, coupled with elevated surface
base metal content in samples along a significant trend. This
season we will be able to hone in on the highest priority targets,
for possible drill testing, likely starting with B1."
Steve Regoci, Garibaldi's CEO,
stated: "We look forward to a very productive 2022 exploration
season, better than expected ZTEM results have identified over a
dozen significant ZTEM responses to test. These prospective targets
beginning at E&L are large with deep roots, providing
significant potential for further discoveries at Nickel Mountain as
strong nickel and battery metal prices continue rising."
