Wedgemount Resources (WDGY) has commenced its 2022 field exploration program at its road-accessible Friendly Lake copper-gold property in B.C.
Located about 100 km north of Kamloops, the Friendly project lies within the productive mineral belt of the Quesnel Trough, host of many of British Columbia’s alkalic copper‐gold porphyry deposits.
The program includes focus on expanding areas of new porphyry-related copper and gold mineralization discovered during 2021 field season.
This will particularly involve areas with abundant coarse clotted chalcopyrite and bornite identified adjacent to the significant BOGG and RO copper-gold targets.
There will be a follow-up on the LiDAR survey completed in November 2021. Data highlights previously undocumented historic trenches, regional structures and new road cuts, which will be targeted for mineralized copper and gold exposures in outcrop.
The inaugural 2021 field program included rock sampling and detailed geological and alteration mapping in and around known mineral occurrences to better understand the alteration, mineralization, and structural controls of the porphyry‐style mineralization in the Friendly Lake portion of the Property.
A total of 73 rock samples and 41 alteration chip samples were taken from outcrop or float. A LiDAR survey was later flown over much of the Friendly Lake portion of the claims.
Priority targets for the 2022 season include additional mapping and sampling along the Friendly Lake trend, and detailed prospecting and sampling near the BOGG, RO, FL, WR07 and Lakeview showings.
Wedgemount Resources is a mineral exploration company focused on maximizing shareholder value through acquiring, discovering, and advancing high-quality copper – gold projects in North America.
Wedgemount Resources Corp remained unchanged at $0.10 at 11:29 ET.
