ALDEVER ACQUIRES GROUND IN NADINA MINING CAMP, BRITISH COLUMBIA
November 21, 2017
Aldever Resources Inc. (ALD—TSXV) (ALDVF—OTCQB) (17G1—Frankfurt) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with an arms’-length vendor to acquire a 100% interest in the Nadina Mountain Claims. The claims encompass over 3777 hectares in central British Columbia, ~23km south of the town of Houston and with one of the claims less than 4.2km north of the New Nadina Project. All of the claims in Aldever’s land package cover the same geological unit in which New Nadina is exploring the Silver Queen Project.
Aldever CEO and President, Clive Massey stated: “We are very excited about joining this new emerging area play and the resulting exploration prospects created for Aldever; the acquisition of this land package further diversifies Aldever’s exploration portfolio and adds potential value.”
The Thira claim and been intermittently explored since 1971. Encouraged by a mineralized intersection in a 1995 percussion hole PH95-5 (0.18 per cent copper over 67 metres), Cominco completed both IP and resistivity surveys and identified a 2 by 1.3 kilometre chargeability low associated with the discovery hole (Assessment Report 24109).
Subsequently, in 1995 three diamond-drill holes were completed. The best mineralization was found to occur in Hole DH95-12. Hole DH95-12 was collared on the south-eastern edge of the IP low, 330 metres south of hole 10 and 650 metres east of hole 5. It also intersected white feldspar porphyry to a depth of 34.3 metres. The white porphyry was mineralized with an average copper grade of 0.054 per cent copper over 22.1 metres, from interval 12.2 to 34.3 metres depth (Assessment Report 24392).
The copper mineralization occured as very fine-grained chalcopyrite and lesser bornite in narrow quartz veinlets. As typical elsewhere this unit was characterized by 5 to 15 per cent fine-grained, disseminated pyrite. At a depth of 34.3 metres the hole passed into a multi-phase granitic intrusion. This intrusion varied from feldspar porphyritic granite, through equigranular granite into weakly feldspar porphyritic granodiorite down the hole. The granitic intrusion was mineralized throughout with the best mineralized section associated with the equigranular granite between 51.9 and 57.8 metres. This 5.9 metre interval averaged 0.15 per cent copper with weakly elevated gold (to 0.072 gram per tonne over 2 metres) and silver (to 1.2 parts per million over 2 metres) values; molybdenum was weakly elevated throughout the hole ranging from 4 parts per million to 0.011 per cent molybdenum over two metre intervals (Assessment Report 24392). Alteration in hole twelve was characterized by weak to locally strong finegrained red-brown biotite, ubiquitous chlorite and locally concentrated strong pink potassic feldspar flooding. A 2 metre split from hole DH95-10 chalcopyrite (from 78 to 80 metres depth), containing isolated specks of chalcopyrite assayed 0.23 per cent copper, 11.1 gram per tonne silver and 0.094 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 24392).
Geology
The Thira property is mainly underlain by mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks of the Middle to Lower Jurassic Telkwa Formation (Hazelton Group). Conglomerate and andesitic volcanic strata of the Cretaceous Kasalka Group are exposed to the east, west and north. Undivided volcanic rock of the Lower Cretaceous Mt. Ney Volcanics (Skeena Group) occurs a few kilometers to the south. All these stratigaphic packages are intruded by stocks and dikes of the Late Cretaceous Bulkley or Kasalka Plutonic suites. Porphyry-style chlorite-biotite-potassium feldspar alteration and associated pyrite plus/minus chalcopyrite mineralization is observed throughout the property and is most intense in proximity to the intrusive bodies. The country rock in the vicinity of the intrusive bodies is strongly fractured. Pyrite/chalcopyrite mineralization occurs as disseminations and fracture fillings in both country rock and intrusions. Pyrite commonly exceeds 3 per cent over broad areas of the property.
Aldever can earn a 100% interest in the Nadina Mountain Claims by paying to the vendor $5,000 and issuing 2,500,000 common shares within 5 days of TSX Venture Exchange Approval, paying a further $500,000 in 24 months and incurring $200,000 in qualifying exploration expenditures over a five-year period. A 1% GOR (Gross Overriding Royalty) has been granted to the vendor, of which 0.5% may be purchased by Aldever for $1,000,000. This transaction is subject to TSX Venture Exchange Approval.
