Sorrento identifies copper-in-soil trend at Lord Baron

SRS · Price
Executive Summary
- Sorrento Resources identified a ~2.25 km strike‑length copper anomaly on its 100% owned Lord Baron project in Newfoundland, providing a new focus area for geophysical surveys and diamond drilling.
- The large‑scale soil program collected 1,005 samples across four grids; 101 samples are anomalous in copper (≥102.6 ppm) and 51 are anomalous in gold (≥23.8 ppb).
- Historical drilling on the property has been oriented away from the newly defined anomaly, suggesting significant upside potential for future drilling programs.
Key Details
- Program Scope: 1,005 soil samples collected over four separate grids; largest soil sampling effort ever undertaken on Lord Baron.
- Anomalous Copper Samples: 101 samples exceed 102.6 ppm Cu (90th percentile).
- Anomalous Gold Samples: 51 samples exceed 23.8 ppb Au (95th percentile).
Little Bay Head Grid
- 667 samples at ~150 m × 50 m spacing; overlaps four historic soil grids.
- 77 Cu‑anomalous samples (≥102.6 ppm), highest value 2,140 ppm Cu.
- 34 Au‑anomalous samples (≥23.8 ppb), highest value 223 ppb Au.
- Anomaly length ≈ 2.25 km, width up to ~175 m; coincident with mapped geological structures and historic geophysical anomalies.
Ferndale & Swatridge Grid
- 86 samples at ~100 m × 250 m spacing covering Ferndale occurrence and east of Swatridge occurrence.
- 8 Cu‑anomalous samples (≥102.6 ppm), highest 731 ppm Cu.
- 6 Au‑anomalous samples (≥23.8 ppb), highest 159 ppb Au.
- Anomaly area ≈ 750 m × 500 m, open to the south and east; overlaps an east‑west fault with historic stream sediment Cu anomalies.
Additional Project Context
- Lord Baron comprises 15 mineral licences (256 claims) covering ~6,400 ha on the Springdale Peninsula.
- Host rock: Lush’s Bight group (Cambro‑Ordovician ophiolitic metavolcanics) with high base‑metal sulphide showings density.
Notable Quotes
“We are very excited with the results of our summer soil sampling program. To have a soil anomaly over two km in strike length is very promising and provides us an area of focus for geophysical surveys and diamond drilling.” – Alex Bugden, President & CEO, Sorrento Resources Ltd.
