Sultan Resources Ltd (ASX:SLZ) has commenced exploration at the company’s Canadian projects, with experienced Canadian geological consultants, APEX Geoscience Ltd conducting activities at its Ruddy Project in North Western Ontario.
At Ruddy, the company has established a priority exploration target from the interpreted LCT Goldilocks Zone surrounded the Allison Lake Batholith which covers approximately 3.5km of east-west strike in the centre to south of the company’s Project.
Apex currently has four helicopter-supported geologists conducting reconnaissance over the project, sampling priority outcrop, including pegmatitic occurrences for lithium and associated elements; and veining (for gold) where appropriate.
The team is typically averaging over 15 samples a day. Progress has been assisted by a recent burn in the area which has increased visibility from the air, although thick deadfall (stacked fallen trees) up to 1.5m height and new growth has slowed ground traverses.
Apex geologists have observed multiple pegmatite occurrences of up to 30m outcrop and up to 15m width within the initial area of focus. Evidence of pegmatite fractionation minerals in the form of apatite or beryl have also been observed in the field from limited available outcrop, which is generally heavily covered by mosses and lichen.
With this initial encouragement the company is looking to extend the field programme to better assess the potential of the Project area, with up to two extra days planned if required.
At the Kember Project the company has opted to delay reconnaissance activities after one of four First Nation groups with established rights in the area requested additional time to inform its members of planned activities.
“The swift commencement of Canadian exploration for Sultan represents an exciting time for shareholders, with initial observations matching our enthusiasm for the area, and we look forward to fully informing the market upon receipt of results from this first phase of activity,” Chairman, Jeremy King, said.
