Sampling Program At The Black Diablo Property


VANCOUVER - Victory Resources Corporation reported that its exploration team has completed a sampling program on the Black Diablo property in Nevada. 72 soil samples and 22 rock samples were collected and submitted for analysis. The primary purpose of the sampling was to investigate whether the Black Diablo manganese oxide deposits are anomalous in Cu (copper). This area is considered to be a favorable tract for Cyprus style VMS deposits by the USGS (Peters, et al, 1996). Cyprus VMS deposits and Mn-oxide deposits in this tract are spatially and geologically associated. The single assay included in the Black Diablo MRDS by the USGS indicated a Cu value of 10,000 ppm Cu, which indicates the sample was at least 1% Cu. Franciscan Type Mn-oxide deposits often report trace Cu, so significantly higher Cu values may indicate the area is prospective for Cyprus style VMS. Sampling will also be looked at for indications of additional Mn-oxide mineralization in the area. While limited drilling has been done in the immediate vicinity of the Black Diablo Mine, no work has been documented on the rest of the property.

"With the proximity to the Loner property, where our drilling program was just completed, we have deployed our exploration team to Black Diablo to conduct this sampling program, prior to further exploration work in Nevada," said Mr. Mark Ireton, Victory CEO. "We have a strong exploration team on the ground, fully equipped and we are maximizing all of those resources to advance our Nevada properties, including Smokey Lithium."
