Core Insights - Magna Terra Minerals Inc. has identified five high-priority exploration targets at the Rocky Brook Project, with a cumulative strike length of at least 30 kilometers in the Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick [2][4][6] Exploration Target Generation - The exploration targets were generated through a combination of regional airborne geophysical data analysis and machine learning techniques provided by Windfall Geotek Corp. [6][4] - The analysis focused on predictive models for copper and zinc mineralization based on historical data and geophysical parameters similar to known massive sulphide deposits in the region [6][4] Identified Targets - The five priority targets include: - Restigouche Trend: A 4.2-kilometer zone of elevated Cu and Zn mineralization, indicating potential for additional massive sulphides [7][8] - Mount Ganong Trend: A 4.8-kilometer trend of predictive Cu-Zn mineralization located 10 kilometers southeast of the Restigouche Deposit [9] - Boudreau Brook - Fossil Hill Trend: A 15-kilometer trend with known occurrences of high-grade copper, including samples returning 3% Cu and 16.65% Cu [10] - Orvan Brook Trend: A 6-kilometer trend showing combined anomalous soil and rock geochemistry [11] - Cook Savoie Trend: A 1.8-kilometer predictive Cu-Zn target with coincident airborne conductivity and gravity anomalies [11] Project Highlights - The Rocky Brook Project spans 18,999 hectares across 65 mineral claims, making it one of the largest landholders in the Bathurst Mining Camp [14] - The project is strategically located near significant historical mining sites, including the past-producing Caribou Mine and the Murray Brook base metal deposits [14] - Recent discoveries in 2023 included high-grade gold assays from grab samples, with values up to 5.23 g/t Au over a 400-meter area [14] Bathurst Mining Camp Overview - The Bathurst Mining Camp is recognized as one of the world's oldest base metal mining districts, hosting over 46 mineral deposits [15] - Historical mining in the BMC has yielded a total of 136,643,367 tonnes of ore with an average grade of 3.44% Pb, 8.74% Zn, 0.37% Cu, and 102.2 g/t Ag [15]
