Silver Vista Drill Results Indicate Silver-Copper Sedimentary Hosted Mineralized System
May 23 2018 - 3:01AM
Glacier Lake Resources Inc. (TSXV:GLI)
(“Glacier” or the
“Company”) is pleased to report
on the results from its maiden diamond drill program on its Silver
Vista property located near Smithers, B.C.
Significant silver-copper mineralization hosted in fine-grained,
clastic sediments was intersected in all seven holes. Hole SV-18-06
returned multiple horizons of mineralization over the entire length
of the hole, with the 153.4 metre length averaging 28.9 grams per
tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (Ag Eqv *1), comprised of 16.1 g/t
Ag, 0.05 percent copper (% Cu), and 0.10 % zinc (Zn). Hole SV-18-06
was the northernmost hole and the mineralized zone is open and
undrilled to the west, north and northwest.
"Results from our maiden drill program on the Silver Vista 'MR'
target support a large mineralizing system, with excellent
potential to expand the silver-copper zones to the northwest and
west," says Saf Dhillon, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Surface work will resume in June to refine the multiple soil
geochemistry targets prior to a Phase 2 drill program. The company
is fully permitted for 10,000 metres of drilling at upward of 40
sites.
The drill results were interpreted and assessed based on copper
equivalent grades (Cu Eqv) of +/= 0.50 % Cu Eqv., and +/= 0.20% Cu
Eqv.

*1 – Copper and silver equivalents are calculated based on the
values of copper, silver and zinc, and metal prices of $16.50/ounce
for silver, $3.05/lb for copper and $1.35/lb for zinc.
Seven holes, totaling 1,273 metres were completed on the
“MR” target, representing the first drilling on
the Silver Vista property since the initial 1991-1992 Equity Silver
Mines Ltd. (a division of Placer Dome Inc., now Barrick Gold Corp.)
program of 1,252.5 metres in 14 holes. Preliminary interpretations
include:
- A large, mineralizing system is indicated, with multiple,
stacked zones of silver, copper and zinc mineralization occurring
from outcrops to depths over 200 metres. Hole SV18-06 was
mineralized from the overburden collar (4.6 m) to a depth of 157. 9
meters. Holes SV18-04 was mineralized from the collar to 49.0
meters, and hole SV18-07 was mineralized from the collar to 43.0
meters (see table below).
- Near surface stacked zones are indicated by the recent drill
program. Outcrop exposure is very limited due to subtle topography,
however extensive soil geochemistry has uncovered numerous other
silver and copper anomalies interpreted to have potential for
further discovery of similar mineralization to the “MR
target.”
- The silver, copper and zinc mineralization is finely
disseminated in multiple sedimentary horizons, but not obvious to
the naked eye. A portable XRF (X-ray fluorescence) unit was
successful in the preliminary identification of mineralized zones
and helped guide the progress of the drill program. The
mineralization appears to be broadly stratabound in preferred
sandstone horizons with the sediments displaying a moderate north
to northwest dip. Plant debris and organic matter are encouraging
indicators, but alteration and veining are visibly minor and appear
to be unrelated to elevated metal values.

Based on the recently completed drill program the sediments
appear to be dipping moderately to the north. Holes SV18-01 and
SV18-02 are therefore drilled with the dip and appear to have
shallow intersection angles, in the order of 20 degrees to 30
degrees. The remaining five holes were drilled across the dip and
therefore appear to have steeper intersections angles in the order
of 60 to 70 degrees. Further drilling, with multiple holes on the
same section or “fence”, is required to confirm the dip of the
stacked mineralized bodies and the enclosing sediments.

report on the property located under the company's SEDAR
profile.
Quality assurance/quality controlThe entire
length of core for each of the seven drill holes was sawn and
sampled at continuous 1.0-metre intervals, with occasional shorter
or longer intervals based on apparent wallrock and mineralization
contact. Supervision, organization and sawing of drilling core
samples was undertaken by personnel from geological consultant
Mammoth Geological Ltd. Half of the core was bagged, sealed and
securely stored until shipment to the laboratory. The other half
was retained in a secure storage location. Certified reference
standards and blanks were placed in the sample stream of each drill
hole alternating at every 25th interval. The secured and sealed
samples were packed into rice bags, sealed and securely stored
until they were turned over to the local trucking company for
transport to the ALS Minerals Laboratory in North Vancouver,
B.C.
All core samples were analyzed utilizing ALS's MEICP-61
procedure, a four-acid digestion of a one-gram sample with an ICP
finish. Samples with overlimit copper or silver values received an
ME-OG62 analysis, a four-acid digestion of a 0.5-gram sample with
ICP-AES finish.
In addition to Glacier Lake’s third-party standards, a routine
quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedure monitored the
analytical quality at the lab. Certified reference materials
(CRMs), pulp duplicates and blanks were inserted into each lab
batch of samples. The Glacier Lake and ALS Lab QA/QC data showed no
irregularities.
