Mineralization remains open at depth as the hole was stopped short **
Mineralization remains open at depth as additional assays are pending
The layered complex hosting both northern and southern horizons appears
to dip vertically to steeply north. However, there is insufficient
information to determine true thicknesses of the mineralized intercepts,
which in all likelihood will be slightly less than the apparent lengths
here reported. All of the holes to date have been drilled at
-45°.
Additional drilling will test for the lateral continuity of several
historic 'gaps' along the Maricela – San Pablo Zone. Also, several
short shallow holes will be drilled to complete cross sections of the
complex with a specific goal of testing the basal contact of the lower
pyroxenite, such as beneath cross-section SK11-001 and SK11-002 and
beneath cross-section SK11-007 and SK11-008.
Further drill results will be reported in batches of holes.
Quality Control
The technical information in this news release has been prepared in
accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National
Instrument 43-101 and reviewed by Rupert Allan, P.Geol., president and CEO
of Skeena Resources Limited, the designated Qualified Person for this
project. On site drilling supervision is provided by two independent
geologists, Dr. Daniel Rubiolo of GeoServa Exploration Ltd. and Ing.
Felipe Ortega Garcia of Servicios Geologicos y Mineros de-Aztlan SA de
CV. A rigorous chain-of-custody and QA/QC program, consisting of the
insertion of certified standard control samples, duplicates and blanks was
applied to the N thin-walled diameter, sawn half-core samples. Sample
preparation was handled by an Acme Analytical Laboratories facility in
Guadalajara, Mexico and the analyses by Acme Analytical in Vancouver,
British Columbia. Gold and the PGM elements are analyzed by fire
assay with an ICP-ES finish, and 31 additional elements by ICP-AES
analyses. Drill intercepts are reported as down hole lengths over
widths in metres, as true widths of the various zones have not yet been
reliably ascertained.
