Overview
The 17 square kilometre Hank property is located in the Golden Triangle in northwest British Columbia within the traditional territory of the Tahltan Nation (Figure 2) and is surrounded by Orogen’s Ball Creek property. The project contains both high-grade epithermal targets and a recently identified alkalic copper-gold porphyry target. Hank is currently held by Golden Ridge Resources.
Historical drilling focussed on two 250-metre thick alteration zones (Upper “UAZ” and Lower “LAZ”) with intercepts of calcite-quartz-sulphide veins including 9.14 metres grading 13.4 g/t gold and 132.3 g/t silver in DDH 88-4 (LAZ) and broad zones of lower grade mineralization including 30.48 metres grading 3.74 g/t gold in DDH 85-45 (UAZ).
Recent work by Golden Ridge has focussed on the LAZ and identified broad intersections of lower grade gold surrounding higher grade intercepts over a one kilometre strike length and included drill hole HNK-17-009 that grades 6.26 g/t gold and 52.1 g/t silver over 21.62 metres.
Golden Ridge also identified the Williams zone, a new alkalic porphyry discovery in the northwest corner of the Hank claims. The Williams zone is characterized by bornite, chalcopyrite and digenite mineralized monzonite, intruding strong potassic altered intermediate Stuhini volcanics hosting veined chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization.
History
Orogen acquired a 3% NSR royalty on the Hank Royalty from Nevada Gold Mines LLC <hyperlinked news reference> in connection with the Maggie Creek option agreement. Pursuant to the Hank royalty agreement with Golden Ridge, 1% may be purchased by Golden Ridge at any time for US$3.0 million. In addition, Golden Ridge has agreed to make a milestone payment of US$2.5 million at the earliest of (1) the preparation of a NI 43-101 feasibility study, (2) a development decision or the commitment of construction on any part of the Hank project, or (3) the first day on which ore has been sold or shipped from the Hank project for the purpose of earning revenue.
