Sorrento Resources Identifies 2.25km Anomalous Copper in Soil Trend, Lord Baron Project, Newfoundland
Newsfile· 2025-10-14 12:00
Core Insights - Sorrento Resources has identified a significant soil anomaly of copper over a strike length of approximately 2.25 km at the Lord Baron Project in Newfoundland, indicating potential for further exploration and drilling [1][2][4] Summary by Sections Soil Sampling Results - The Little Bay Head Grid revealed several trends of anomalous copper mineralization, with one trend measuring ~2.25 km in length and ~175 m in width [4][6] - A total of 1,005 soil samples were collected, marking the largest soil sampling program ever conducted on the property [6] - Out of the samples, 101 were considered anomalous in copper (>102.6 ppm Cu) with the highest value recorded at 2,140 ppm Cu, and 51 samples were anomalous in gold (>23.8 ppb Au) with the highest value at 223 ppb Au [4][6] Geological Context - The Lord Baron Project is situated on the Springdale peninsula, an area with a rich mining history and access to skilled labor and infrastructure [11][12] - The project consists of 15 mineral licenses covering 6,400 hectares, predominantly underlain by the Lush's Bight Group, known for its base metal sulphide showings [12][13] Exploration Potential - The correlation between soil anomalies, geological structures, and historical geophysical anomalies supports the validity of soil sampling as an exploration method [2][4] - Historical drilling has been oriented away from the identified soil anomalies, suggesting untapped potential in the area [2][4]
