Vancouver, B.C. (FSCwire) - Saville Resources Inc. (TSXv: SRE, FSE: S0J) (the “Company” or “Saville”) is pleased to report that it has completed and filed, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”), a Technical Report on the Niobium Claim Group Property (the “Property”). The Technical Report provides a concise overview of the Property and its exploration potential and may be accessed through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com.

 

The Property is under Exploration Earn-in Agreement (the “Agreement”) from Commerce Resources Corp., whereby the Company may earn up to a 75% interest, subject to certain terms and conditions including TSX Venture Exchange Approval (see news release dated January 11, 2018). The Company also reports that subsequently, the Agreement was amended to include, within the original terms and conditions, a further five (5) claims, bringing the total Property land position to 26 claims (1,223 ha). The new claims cover additional niobium-tantalum targets in the Miranna and Southeast areas as well the target area known as the “Star Trench”, which was not included in the original Agreement.  A map outlining the land position is available at http://savilleres.com/assets/Map-Fig4-ClaimMap.pdf.  

 

The Southeast Area is the most advanced prospect on the Property with drill intercepts including 0.82% Nb2O5 over 21.9 m and 1.09% Nb2O5 over 5.8 m in drill holes EC10-033 and 040, respectively. These strongly mineralized intercepts have yet to be followed-up and, along with Miranna, are high-priority exploration targets for the Company.

 

The drilling at the Star Trench Area, completed in 2008 and 2010 by Commerce Resources Corp, has returned some of the strongest tantalum drill intercepts to date on the Property, including 454 ppm Ta2O5 over 7.8 m and 632 ppm Ta2O5 over 3.8 m in drill hole EC08-025. These drill intercepts, also associated with moderate niobium and strong phosphate mineralization, were returned from relatively shallow depths (<50 m core length) with only limited follow-up drilling completed. This follow-up drilling, completed in 2010, consisted of three (3) drill holes totalling 494 m and returned some of the highest-grade individual core samples collected to date on the Property, including 1.69% Nb2O5, 2,220 ppm Ta2O5, and 20.5% P2O5 over 0.3 m (sample 84321).

 

The Company is currently in the late stages of planning a fall surface program on the Property, consisting of prospecting and rock sampling, and a ground magnetic survey to further delineate the mineralized horizon. The work is being completed by Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. with the primary objective of the program to further refine drill hole locations ahead of drilling planned for the first half of 2019.
