Ashburton Ventures (ABR-V) applies for Zetu, Nerok drill permits
June 5, 2013 - News Release
Ashburton Ventures Inc. has filed for drill permits on its mineral tenures located near Colorado Resources Ltd.'s North Rok property, in the Iskut copper-gold district. The Iskut district is located in Northwestern British Columbia and has seen significant exploration activity since the announcement by Colorado Resources of a drill hole intercept averaging 0.5 per cent copper and 0.67 gram per tonne gold over 333 metres (see Colorado Resources news release on April 25, 2013). Most recently, Victory Ventures Inc. announced plans for a five-hole drill program centred on a geophysical anomaly defined by induced polarization chargeability (see Victory Ventures news release on June 3, 2013). IP geophysics has played a significant role in identifying drill targets in the Iskut district. The 100-per-cent-owned Zetu claims adjoin the northern border of the North Rok property, and the Nerock tenure is positioned roughly six kilometers north-northwest along the highway from the Colorado Resources discovery. The tenures total 1,500 hectares and have monzonite and volcanic lithologies that are similar to those presently being drilled at North Rok (B.C. Minfile Report 21760, 1992). Drilling is anticipated to take place after generation of drill targets through mapping, sampling and IP geophysics.
