Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd (MTB) has established a technical advisory board bringing together several leading geological experts.
Mountain Boy has six projects in the prolific Golden Triangle of British Columbia on which previous work demonstrates the potential to host large-scale deposits of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc.
Mountain Boy’s strategy involves applying leading-edge geoscience to cost-effectively advance the projects toward discovery.
This team of experts, already familiar with Mountain Boys projects, will complement the in-house geological team in analyzing existing information. Together, they will help guide the following stages of exploration.
The Technical Advisory Board will be chaired by Dorian L. “Dusty” Nicol and includes Dr. Bruce Gemmell and John Ryan.
In addition, it will extend its collaboration with the Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MDRU) at the University of British Columbia, with Dr. Farhad Bouzari continuing to provide his expertise.
These specialists will support the in-house geological team, led by Lucia Theny, Vice President of Exploration.
Dusty Nicol joined MTB as a Director in October 2021.
Dusty has 45 years of worldwide experience in gold exploration and mining and has designed and managed successful gold exploration programs worldwide.
Bruce Gemmell is a sought-after industry consultant and Adjunct Professor at the University of Tasmania. He has gained an international reputation for his expertise in the mineralogy and geochemistry of hydrothermal alteration and other aspects of mineral deposits.
John Ryan has considerable experience with BC porphyry deposits, having spent eight years on and around Teck’s massive Highland Valley copper mine and is part of the team involved in an important discovery in the Golden Triangle.
MDRU is an integrated geological, geochemical and geophysical research group that solves exploration and mining problems with applied geoscientific research projects. Farhad Bouzari is a porphyry specialist who is highly regarded for his work in advancing the science of porphyry exploration.
Lawrence Roulston, the CEO, stated: “Formalizing these highly experienced experts into a Technical Advisory Board and expanding our relationship with MDRU will facilitate the synergies that come with the collaboration of ideas among experts.”
“Results of previous work supports the potential for discoveries in line with the established deposits in this renowned region. Tapping into the combined knowledge of these experts will help advance Mountain Boy’s projects toward discovery,” added Roulston.
Work is continuing on the Telegraph project, with further results announced in the coming weeks.
Geophysical information has been compiled from areas that were previously separately owned. That information is being “levelled” across the data sets and is being re-interpreted comprehensively.
Advanced analytical techniques are employed on samples collected throughout the property, and an interpretive report is in preparation.
The permitting process for drilling is well advanced, with completion expected shortly.
Plans are being developed for the coming field season. That program will use the camp and fixed-wing airstrip on-site.
It also announces the grant of stock options to directors, employees, advisors and consultants for an aggregate of 1,230,000 shares at $0.17 for five years.
Mineral Deposit Research Unit is a collaborative research venture between the minerals industry and The University of British Columbia’s Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences.
Mountain Boy has six active projects spanning 604 square kilometres (60,398 hectares) in the prolific Golden Triangle of northern British Columbia.
Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd (MTB) is up 3.03 per cent, trading at C$0.17 at 9:30 am ET.
