Edmonton, Alberta, – October 7, 2020 - Jaeger Resources Corp. (TSX – V: JAEG) (“Jaeger” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a preliminary geological model for its Taylor Brook Deposit in New Brunswick, Canada.
A preliminary geological model of the deposit has now been created by a consultant to the company. The model representation maps are presented on the company website www.jaegerresources.com. This model is only represented by 34 diamond drillholes drilled from 1977 to 2016.
This model indicates the presence of near surface mineralization which may be amenable to open pit development.
This model helps to identify both structural and lithological controls on the deposit system, which have an importance for the rest of the Taylor Brook Property that could be present across the entire 7 km geological strike length of the Property at/near surface and continuing at depth. To date, less than 10% of the Taylor Brook Property has been explored with diamond drilling.
The interpreted model indicates an antiformal shape with several sub-parallel lenses of massive to semi-massive sulphides that may be a result of tight Z type folding and / or structural repetition of lithological units reflecting a combination of folding episodes as well as possible stacking by thrusting. Going forward, the use of lithogeochemical analyses and methods will aid in the interpretation of the structural geology of the deposit (see press release dated February 26, 2020).
From recent exploration work, much of the historical drilling is interpreted to be oriented in the wrong direction and as such some of the thinner intersections tend to be discontinuous from drill hole to drill hole. Some of these intersections are oriented in directions that may be sub-parallel to drilling, suggesting continuity is possible with other mineralized zones. The model can also be used to define and direct drilling that is required for an updated resource. Additional drilling will be needed to confirm the continuity of near surface mineralization.
The Taylor Brook Deposit model has some similarities to that of Stratmat’s Boundary Deposit which was estimated to contain 891,000 tons grading 3.31% Pb, 7.96% Zn, 0.32% Cu and 44 g/t Ag. The Boundary Deposit was mined from 1989 to 1993 as both open pit and underground operations. The VLF signature of the Boundary Deposit is similar to that of the Taylor Brook Deposit.
The Taylor Brook Deposit model will be continually updated as more geological, lithogeochemical and geophysical data become available. This includes a review of all historical data with re-analysis of historic drill holes where possible. An important aspect will be creating a digital library of historical reports, technical documents and databases.
