Highlights
Rokmaster Resources secures approval for two exploration permits at its Selkirk Project in British Columbia.
The Keystone Property will undergo exploration with a multi-year area-based permit, allowing up to twenty helicopter-supported drill sites.
Significant mineralization, including zinc, lead, silver, and gold, identified across key areas within the property.
Rokmaster Resources Corp (TSXV:RKR). operates within the TSX Mining Stocks and exploration sector, with a focus on the discovery and development of precious and base metal projects. Its key asset, the Selkirk Project, is located in southeastern British Columbia, an area known for its favorable geological setting for gold, silver, copper, and zinc. The approval of exploration permits by the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals marks a significant milestone in advancing the Selkirk Project.
Overview of the Selkirk Project
The Selkirk Project encompasses three primary properties: the Keystone Property, the Downie Gold Property, and the Rift Property. Located to the north of Revelstoke, British Columbia, these properties have been undergoing steady exploration since their acquisition by Rokmaster in 2021. Exploration activities have included geological mapping, soil sampling, and prospecting, which have provided valuable insights into the area's mineralization.
The Keystone Property, in particular, has yielded promising results from rock grab samples and field work, with substantial mineralization of lead, zinc, silver, and gold. These elements are concentrated in two main areas within the property, highlighting the region’s strong geological framework for metal mineralization.
Multi-Year Area Based Exploration Permit for Keystone Property
Rokmaster has recently received approval for a multi-year area-based exploration permit (MYAB Permit) from the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals. This permit authorizes exploration activities across the Keystone Property for a three-year period. The MYAB Permit grants approval for up to twenty helicopter-supported drill sites and seven helicopter pads, which are critical to the exploration process given the remote location of the property.
Exploration teams will focus on several areas identified in previous field work, where dense quartz-galena-sphalerite veining has been observed in deformed dolostone. These zones are significant as they host replacement and vein-hosted sphalerite and galena mineralization, key indicators of zinc and lead deposits. The presence of these minerals, combined with the presence of gold and silver, supports the continuation of exploration activities under this newly approved permit.
Geological Setting and Mineralization
The mineralization at the Keystone Property is associated with the northern extension of the Akolkolex Thrust fault. This fault is believed to play a role in the development of orogenic-style gold mineralization, which has been observed in other areas of the region. The proximity of the fault to key mineralized zones in the Keystone Property further enhances the geological significance of this project.
In addition to the base metals (zinc and lead), the discovery of gold and silver in the grab samples highlights the diverse mineralization within the area. The large-scale veining in the property indicates potential for significant ore bodies that could be of interest to future exploration and development projects.
