Drilling and Assays
Rich Copper Discovery
White Tiger Mining Corp. has completed a phase one drill program on its optioned Marshall Lake Property copper, silver and gold exploration project.
During the phase one program, three holes were drilled in a north-south section, 25 metres south or beneath GAZN-08-07 and west of drill hole GAZN-08-06 and all three drill holes intersected copper sulphide zones. Wide zones of disseminated copper are seen in all of the holes and within the disseminated copper sulphide envelope there are two distinct zones of semi massive copper sulphides (one being associated with high silica rhyolite and the other being associated with a footwall chlorite alteration-shear zone). It is significant to note that continuity of the copper mineralization intercepts has been established between the holes.
During the current drill program, the strike length of the copper mineralization has been traced for 125 metres towards an historical copper occurrence known as the “Lease Zone”, which is 200 metres further to the west. This allows the current "RM Zone" (formerly referred to as the North Gazooma Zone) a potential of 325 metre strike length of copper occurrence.
The success of this first phase has lead to planning a second stage of follow-up drilling.
