CRB · Price

Executive Summary

  • Cariboo Rose Resources Ltd. announced drill results from two diamond drill holes (totaling 568 meters) at its 100%-owned Lightning Strike gold-silver project in British Columbia.
  • The primary highlight is Hole LSD25-01, which intersected 44.4 meters grading 0.77 g/t gold and 37.1 g/t silver, equivalent to 1.51 g/t gold equivalent.
  • The company highlights the project's geological potential, citing historical high-grade intercepts and its location within the Quesnel terrane, analogous to major deposits like Muruntau and Sukhoi Log.

Key Details

  • Project Location: Lightning Strike gold-silver project, 60 km northeast of 100 Mile House, British Columbia; 4,193-hectare 100%-owned property.
  • Drilling Summary: Two diamond drill holes completed, totaling 568 meters.
  • Hole LSD25-01 Results:
    • Intercept: 44.4 meters
    • Grade: 0.77 g/t gold and 37.1 g/t silver
    • Gold Equivalent: 1.51 g/t gold equivalent
  • Gold Equivalent Calculation: Combined value of gold and silver in one tonne of rock divided by the value of gold in one tonne of rock grading 1.00 g/t gold, based on $4,000/oz gold and $80/oz silver.
  • Historical Context:
    • Historical work by Homestake Mining (1984) and Skygold Resources Ltd. identified mineralization.
    • Trenching revealed quartz-carbonate boulders with gold up to 25.1 g/t and silver up to 216.8 g/t.
    • Previous drilling (2008-2010) completed 31 holes, all returning anomalous to strongly mineralized gold intercepts.
    • Significant historical intercepts cited: 0.77 g/t gold over 54.0 m; 3.42 g/t gold and 228.1 g/t silver over 5.0 m; 2.88 g/t gold over 24.0 m; and 8.84 g/t gold over 7.5 m.
  • Sampling and Analysis:
    • Core (4.5 cm diameter) cut lengthwise; sampled on ~1 meter increments.
    • Samples analyzed by MSA Labs (Langley, B.C.), an ISO 17025-accredited independent lab.
    • Method: Photon assay (X-ray assay procedure) using high-energy X-rays for enhanced analysis of gold, silver, copper, and complementary elements.

Notable Quotes

  • "Hole LSD25-01, with an intercept of 44.4 metres (m) grading 0.77 g/t gold and 37.1 g/t silver (1.51 g/t gold equivalent), demonstrates the great potential of the road-accessible, Lightning Strike project." — J.W. (Bill) Morton, PGeo, Director
