Almaden Minerals' Properties
 

Mor Porject, B.C.

overview | past work


overview

The Mor Property massive sulphide propect is located near the Alaska Highway in the Morley River area of Southern Yukon Territory. 12 contiguous mineral claims were staked during 1997 and 1998 to cover a precious base metal showing discovered by prospecting follow-up of stream silt geochemical anomalies. The subsurface (mineral) rights are 100% owned by Farifield Minerals Ltd. Surface rights are held by the Teslin Council/Yukon First Nations, from whom permission is required for entry to conduct work.

 

past work

1997 and 1998 - Work included property expansions, prospecting and reconnaissance sampling on and around the claim group, grid soil geochemistry and ground based magnetometer and VLF-EM geophysical surveys. Significant results have been generated by all of the programs conducted to date. Final reports on geophysical surveys conducted during 1998 outlined several discrete VLF-EM conductors with associated magnetic responses, some of which are partially coincident with anomalous mutliple- element soil geochemical trends. Grid soil geochemical surveys covered 75% of the property. Results indicated a 2000 meter long by 100 to 200 meter wide area anomalous in copper lead zinc and silver. Subsequent trenching within this anomaly returned gold values as high as 1,250 ppb gold (check sample 3,788 ppb) along with 42 grams of silver, 0.13% copper, 0.43% lead, and 0.40% zinc.

May 1999 - The company signed an option agreement with Brett Resources Inc. which included the Caribou Creek Project. Additional staking has been completed; the two groups now comprise 100 mineral claims covering 2,100 hectares. Details are in news release dated May 3rd 1999.

December 1999- Brett's option expired.

Summer 2000 - A program of geochemical soil sampling and auger sampling was initiated on the property in an attempt to better identify and extend the known mineralization. Magnetic and V.L.F. geophysical survies are also planned before the end of the season.

September 2003 - Mor optioned to Kobex Resources Ltd.

2004 - In 2004 Kobex completed an induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey over the Mor property which defined an 800 meter long linear chargeability anomaly - significant mineralization encountered. [more +]

2005 : Kobex terminates its option.
