Mr. G.L. Garratt reports
Ascot Resources has advised Eastfield Resources that it is terminating its
option agreement on the Fort property west of Fort St. James, B.C.
During the summer of 1998 Ascot financed a geological, geochemical and
geophysical program on the 39,000 acre property. A major component of this
program was a 27 kilometre IP survey which detailed two geophysical
anomalies defined by chargeability responses ranging from 12.5 to greater
than 40 mV/v. The northwestern anomaly is 250 to 400 metres wide and 900
metres long and is coincident with a soil copper anomaly. The southeastern
anomaly is 250 to 350 metres wide and open ended beyond its current 600
metre length. Both anomalies are broadly enveloped by the greater than 10
mv/v response and appear to be centered on a resistive high.
Much of the area is till covered although outcrops of potassic-altered
granodiorite, diorite, monzonite and breccia occur on the western extremity
of a large mafic to ultra mafic unit. The most extensive exposure remains
on the discover road cut constructed in 1997.
The company has applied for permission to construct a 2km drill road to
access the heart of the target area. A licence to cut, necessary to
authorize this work in this densely forested environment has been prepared
by the Forest Service and was presented to the company for signature last
week. A company representative will be meeting with logging equipment
contractors this week.
