Serengeti Announces Results of Atty Drilling Program, Provides Exploration Update

 

 

 

 

 

Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX-V:SIR) is pleased to report results from the 2019 drilling campaign at the ATTY Project in north-central BC, and to provide an update on the Croy-Bloom and Topcat exploration programs. ATTY lies immediately north of and adjacent to Centerra Gold’s Kemess property. Serengeti secured an option to earn a 100% interest in the ATTY project from Finlay Minerals Ltd. and Electrum Resource Corporation in 2018.

 

David Moore, CEO commented, “In parallel with our Kwanika development project, Serengeti is pleased to report on our continued focus on exploration in our Quesnel Trough/Toodogonne package of properties which represent one of our pillars of value in the company alongside Kwanika.  Serengeti strives to bring value to our shareholders by developing a pipeline of various stage projects and balancing exploration upside for discovery with project development through engineering. We continue to be excited about providing our shareholders with exploration opportunities in one of Canada’s most exciting exploration districts.”

 

ATTY Drilling

Six core holes were drilled at ATTY, totaling 2,318m. Details of the targets are given below the results table. Highlights of the recent drilling include:

 

  • AT-19-08: 0.04% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au, 0.4 g/t Ag over 87.7m, from 240.7 to 328.4m
  • And 0.02% Cu, 0.18 g/t Au, 0.5 g/t Ag over 22.1m, from 39.9 to 62.0m
  • AT-19-11: 0.02% Cu, 0.28 g/t Au, 19.6 g/t Ag over 8.9m, from 116.2 to 125.1m

The 2019 drilling program at ATTY confirmed that the three targets tested have the potential to host a mineralized system. Geological observations and locally strongly anomalous gold values  in AT-08 and -13 and the fact that all three holes in the area  may have terminated in a post mineral sill suggests the Kemess East Offset area remains a viable exploration  target, especially considering the nearest holes were collared 290 metres from the boundary with Centerra. At the Valley Target, the presence of a previously unknown quartz-monzonite intrusive hosting mineralization and locally anomalous gold values in AT-10 suggests good potential also remains here.  Finally, strongly anomalous Ag, Au, Zn and Pb within fault zones and silicified hydrothermal breccias at the Boundary Target demonstrates a hydrothermal system is present and warrants follow-up drilling. Using the comprehensive multi-parameter dataset produced in 2019, Serengeti will be advancing the ATTY targeting model with the aim of refining drilling targets for future testing.

 

On March 1, 2018, Finlay optioned the ATTY Property to Serengeti Resources Inc. for $1.85 million in consideration and $12 million of work over 8 years. The option agreement’s term is over 8 years with all cash payments totaling $625,000, combined cash and/or share payments totaling $975,000, and further payments of $250,000 to purchase Finlay’s royalty rights, in addition to optional work commitments on the ATTY Property of $12 million.  The first and second anniversary financial terms have been met.  Serengeti has now further met the work commitments of a minimum of $875,000 of work on the ATTY due by April 2020.  The option agreement continues to be in effect. 

 

Croy-Bloom Induced-Polarization Surveys

 

In early July, Serengeti conducted a geophysical program on its 100% owned Croy-Bloom property. Ten line-km of IP were completed in 3 lines to expand on IP coverage from the 2018 program. Strong chargeability anomalies were delineated on two of the recent lines, which were surveyed across and on the fringes of a large intrusive body associated with strong coincident Cu and Au geochemical anomalies in the areas of Soup Ridge, Davie Creek Moly and Porphyry Creek.  When combined with prior IP, three drill targets have now been outlined: a deep chargeability anomaly under Soup Ridge, lying below anomalous copper gold values  intersected in prior shallow drilling (0.27 g/t Au, 0.61% Cu over 47m); a near surface and possibly related  deeper feature directly associated with the Croy vein where historical channel sampling outlined a narrow massive sulphide vein assaying 15.7 g/t Au, 10.5% Cu along 105 m of strike length; and a strong chargeability anomaly that extends from surface to depth below historical mineral occurrences such as the Croydon Mine adit (measuring 100 x 0.7m grading 3.0% Cu and 10.3 g/t Au), rock samples grading up to 3.1% Cu and 42.5 g/t Au, and strong Cu-in-soil geochemistry. Aummary map is available at the link below:

Top Cat Mapping and Sampling

 

Serengeti recently concluded a 25-day mapping and sampling program on the Top Cat property which is under option from the Pinchi Group (see Serengeti press release dated July 23rd, 2019). The property covers approximately 240 sq. km. in central BC and adjoins the western margin of Sun Metals’ and Teck’s Lorraine property. It is located approximately 10km north of the Lorraine copper-gold deposit. A total of 79 rock and 282 soil and stream sediment samples were collected from 6 prospective areas on the property. Copper mineralization, in the form of chalcopyrite and/or bornite, was observed at a number of localities and analytical results are pending. Serengeti is planning an extensive follow-up IP and mapping/sampling program at Top Cat in 2020 in order to develop future drill targets.
