Kwanika Copper Corporation Mobilizes Drill Rigs to Kwanika Copper Gold Project, North-Central British Columbia
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX-V:SIR) ("Serengeti" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that Kwanika Copper Corporation, a private company jointly-owned by SERENGETI RESOURCES (65%) and POSCO DAEWOO Corporation (35%), has mobilized two diamond drills and technical crews to the Kwanika Copper Gold Project as part of the ongoing completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”). Completion of the fully funded PFS is expected in mid-2019.
Two diamond drill rigs are currently on-site at Kwanika with the goal of completing approximately 8,000 meters of drilling, including 6,600 meters in twelve holes in support of detailed open-pit and underground engineering design and resource upgrade drilling for the Central Zone, as well as lengthening prior drill hole K-16-179 which intercepted 59 metres grading 0.26% Cu and 0.29 g/t Au and ended in mineralization at 903 meters (SIR News Release dated September 22, 2016). An attempt will be made to re-enter and deepen K-179 by as much as 400 meters to test for a possible down-faulted extension of Central Zone mineralization at depth. An additional 1,400 meters, currently unallocated, are planned as part of this program to test targets near the Central Zone identified during recent development of a three-dimensional geological model recently completed in support of the PFS.
