Expanded Deep Induced Polarization Program At Majuba Hill Underway
VANCOUVER - Bam Bam Resources Corp. reported that it will completed an extensive Induced Polarization/Resistivity (IP) program to expand and extend the existing deep IP coverage. A 2007 survey using 300 meter dipole spacing and a 2018 in-fill program has proven remarkably successful in defining high-chargeability and resistivity anomalies that correlate to porphyry copper related phyllic alteration and sulfide zones with chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, pyrite, & arsenopyrite. The planned IP survey will provide wide coverage and extend the historic lines over the newly acquired private and public lands.
David Greenway, President and CEO, said, "The geophysics are always an important tool when exploring for large porphyry copper deposits. I am particularly pleased that our ongoing, phased-exploration program has put us in a position to engage Zonge International at a very timely point in our exploration. Our recently completed Drone Magnentic Survey showed that the Tertiary Intrusive Assemblage at Majuba Hill is at least 2.5 times larger than the geologic mapping indicated. The results of the Deep IP Survey will help us immensely to understand the size and scope of this deposit."
The very direct correlation between the high chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, pyrite, & arsenopyrite content in core hole MHB-8 and the high-chargeability anomalies outlined by the previous surveys is a good indication of the importance of the IP geophysics for identifying drill targets and outlining the potential scale for mineralization at Majuba Hill. 3D modeling shows a strong correlation of high copper values, high chargeability, and the felsite intrusive assemblage, in drill holes MMX-24 and MHB-6: MMX-24: 370 ft (112.8m) at 0.45% Cu from 730-1100 ft (222.5-335.3m); and MHB-6: 50 feet (15.2 m) at 0.72% Cu from 750-800 ft (228.6-243.8 m), includes 20 feet (6.1 m) at 1.31% Cu from 780-800 ft (237.7-243.8 m).
Previous surveys show strong IP chargeability highs emerging on the margins and along the previously completed lines. These chargeability highs are remarkably similar to the IP anomalies around MMX-24, MHB-6, and MHB-8.
The planned IP survey will extend the historic lines and provide wide coverage over the newly acquired private and public lands.
