Tasca Commences Drilling on its Acacia Project, Central British Columbia
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/24/12 -- Tasca Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: TAC) (the "Company" or "Tasca") in conjunction with Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: EPL) have mobilized crews and equipment to carry out a 600m diamond drilling program on the 4,600 ha Acacia Property, located 45 km north of Kamloops in central British Columbia. The budget for the program is set at $250,000 with exploration activity expected to take two weeks to complete.
Project Summary
The Acacia property is considered to have good potential for hosting Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits. These deposits typically contain both base and precious metals, and occur in clusters and/or stacked lenses. The property covers a stratigraphic assemblage which hosts a number of nearby past-producing base and precious-metal deposits including the Samatosum, Rea Gold, and Homestake mines. The parties caution that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Acacia property. The property currently has at least three known target areas.
Previous operators reported diamond drilling results including 10.6 g/t gold, 335.3 g/t silver, 3.13 % zinc, 2.74% lead, and 0.55% copper over 2.37m on the Twin Mountain occurrence. At the Acacia Zone, eight zinc-rich massive sulphide lenses have been mapped on surface within a 1,500m x 250m soil anomaly. This area will be the target for the current program.
