White Cliff (ASX:WCN) racks priority polymetallics for Canadian field season

White Cliff Minerals has racked up its northern targets for the Canadian field season as an ongoing data review added more exploration anticipation for prospectivity at the southern end of its Great Bear Lake uranium-copper-gold-silver project in the Northwest Territories.

Formerly known as Radium Point, an ongoing digitalisation and integration of historic data review of the project’s northern end has returned a quartet of priority targets with high-grade grabs, offering extensions to the region’s historic mines.

The polymetallic Thompson showing features rock chips of up to 14.15 per cent triuranium octoxide, 6.22 grams per tonne gold, and 122g/t silver while untested anomalies south to the Echo Bay and Eldorado mines look to be the top priority.

White Cliff’s southern anomalies priority is followed by a Hunter Bay extension immediately along strike to a 100 thousand tonne at 8.4% copper non-JORC estimate at Sloan deposit.

The Sparkplug Lake and Spud Bay targets likewise hold high-grade multi-commodity grabs near notable deposits and historic mines.

And evidence of iron-oxide-copper-gold and epithermal-style mineralisation in the southern half has returned the Luv Lake, OMNI, and HD44 targets, with a three-square kilometre IOCG-target with historic grabs up to 10.4% copper at Luv Lake appearing the top priority.

White Cliff Managing Director Troy Whittaker said the historic results continued to reveal an underexplored, district-scale opportunity.

“Integration of this historic data, coupled with observations and sample results from the upcoming field program alongside outputs from the MobileMT survey will provide a robust dataset for drill target definition,” he said.

Whittaker added that diligent and exceptional work done by the company’s team had allowed the project-wide rankings, and subsequent efficient and appropriate provision of works and capital for the 2024 season.

“Given the target rich environment, and different advancing stages of exploration across the project, the company is now in an envious position where it can progress and develop a pipeline of targets,” he said.

The project covers 2813km2 of an IOCG-uranium prospective Great Bear Magmatic Zone noted for high potential, proven production, and by White Cliff as well primed for discovery through old data and modern technique.

A large area and low commodity prices have put a historic limit on exploration, but the Perth-based explorer has the government greenlight for field season at Great Bear Lake and over the border to Nunavut at its Coppermine River project.
