Beaufield Resources Inc. ("Beaufield") (TSX VENTURE:BFD) and Urbana Corporation ("Urbana") (TSX:URB)(TSX:URB.A)(CSE:URB)(CSE:URB.A) are pleased to report that 2 field crews have been mobilized to the Urban property to commence induced polarization and magnetometer surveys.
The survey is designed to straddle the common border between the two companies, a high priority underexplored area which has never been covered by past geophysical surveys or drilling. In 2014, Beaufield geologists identified an area of interest along the claim boundary that assayed 20 g/t gold and 2.43% copper in a grab sample (BFD news release, August 1st, 2014). In the area, gold is known to occur with pyrite and chalcopyrite, these can be detected by induced polarization techniques.
The survey will also cover several other areas with known gold occurrences which are listed in table 1 below.
The current survey will allow for better resolution and higher precision than any other historical surveys conducted on the properties. Results from the current work program will be compiled and interpreted with historical work to identify and prioritize drill targets.
Urbana and Beaufield have agreed to jointly explore and share the boundary information. Each party will retain 100% ownership of their respective properties. Beaufield has agreed to be the operator (news release November 14, 2014).
Urban Township hosts numerous gold and base metal occurrences and is currently the focus of a significant gold program at Windfall Lake by Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation. The Windfall gold deposit is on strike with the Beaufield-Urbana properties and located 5 kilometres to the northeast of the current work.
