Brewer Gold-Copper Project Reports Compelling Porphyry Drill Targets
TORONTO - Carolina Rush Corporation reported on its recently completed magnetotelluric (MT) and induced polarization (IP) geophysical surveys conducted at its Brewer Gold-Copper Project in South Carolina. The survey has revealed compelling subsurface features that suggest the presence of a buried porphyry system.
A large columnar zone of low resistivity has been identified below and west of the former mine, extending to depths greater than 1,500 meters. A broad halo of high chargeability surrounds this zone, extending more than 500 meters deep. Magnitudes and geometries of the low-resistivity and high-chargeability bodies are consistent with an inferred intrusion and sulfide shell, and may represent the underlying porphyry source for Brewer's high sulfidation Au-Cu mineralization. The geophysical models, in conjunction with geological models, present compelling drill targets to test for the presence of a buried Cu-Au porphyry system.
"We are extremely encouraged by these results, which confirm our long-standing belief in Brewer's deeper porphyry potential," said Layton Croft, President and CEO. "The clear data-driven correlation between our geological model and geophysical signatures provides a powerful case for a buried porphyry system. These are exactly the kind of high-quality deep drill targets we had hoped the MT-IP survey would reveal. Now we are designing a drill program to determine the mineralization potential of the Brewer porphyry target."
