NMC Resource Announces Confirmation and Extension of Mineralization at Boss Mountain

06.11.2014  |  Marketwire
VANCOUVER, November 06, 2014 - NMC Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE: NRC) ("NMC Resource" or the "Company") is pleased to report the results from the first two drill holes from the Boss Mountain Project ("Boss Mountain") located near 100 Mile House B.C. Assay results from the remaining 9 holes are currently pending, and will continue to be reported once received. 

Hole BOSS-14-01, the first hole of the 2014 program, returned 0.14% Mo* (0.23% MoS2*) over 181.50m, and a further intersection of 0.12% Mo (0.20% MoS2) over 67m. Additionally, preliminary results appear to show a correlation between Mo and Re*, with assays reaching up to 5.07g/t rhenium over 0.50m. The results of the first hole confirmed the previously reported mineralization, and also outlined additional near surface mineralization. The lower portion of the first hole also successfully extended the known mineralization past previously tested depths.

BOSS-14-02 returned 0.07% Mo (0.12% MoS2) over 148.75m. The second hole confirmed the location of the previously reported mineralization, and it also confirmed that mineralization remains open to depth.

Additional assays from the remaining 9 holes are pending which further tested this trend farther along strike to both the south and the east.

Rhenium is among the rarest metals on earth, used mainly in the aerospace industry as an alloying agent and in the chemical industry as a catalyst, is historically known to have a propensity to be associated with molybdenite mineralization. Rhenium content was tested for in a small number of selected samples, and all of those samples showed notable values. Based on the notable rhenium content in the limited sample population, the Company plans to assay for rhenium on samples that have a Mo concentration over 2,000 ppm in holes 6, 7 and 11 so that the statistical correlation between Mo and Re at Boss Mountain can be tested. Results from BOSS-14-01 and BOSS-14-02 are reported below:

Width refers to drill hole intercepts. All assays reported are uncut.

Significant mineralization in both holes is associated with quartz veins, up to 30cm wide, which contain up to 5% coarse disseminated Mo. Typically these veins only contain trace amounts of pyrite, however, preliminary results appear to indicate that rhenium mineralization is intimately associated with molybdenum within these vein sets. The host rock is entirely within a granodiorite which contains localized regions potassic, and argillic alteration within the mineralized zones.

Boss Mountain is located near the historic mining town of Hendrix Lake, approximately 88 km east of 100 Mile House in British Columbia, Canada. Noranda produced 7,430,340 tonnes of ore at 0.217% Mo (0.36% MoS2) intermittently for the period of 1965 - 1983. Surface access leading to and across the site remains in excellent condition and provide easy access to where the surface mining efforts stopped. These access roads will be instrumental in facilitating expedited restart on site, should the Company decide to re-start mining operations at Boss Mountain.

The region encompasses the Upper Triassic- Lower Jurassic Takomkane Batholith, which is host to the mineralization. Similar to Guichon Batholith which hosts the extensive Highland Valley deposit, the Takomkane Batholith intrudes Upper Triassic and older Nicola volcanics and other sedimentary rocks. The Cretaceous quartz monzonite intrudes the older rocks and flanks the Takomkane Batholith to the East. Eight stages of oscillatory magmatic activity have been recognized at the Boss Mountain deposit, three of which resulted in the emplacement of the substantial molybdenum mineralization. Mineralization on site occurs as both high grade molybdenum bearing quartz veins, and as disseminated grains in the matrix which forms an intensely fractured quartz-andesite breccia.


QA/QC Statement

Drill cores were cut in half using a diamond saw, with one-half place in sealed bags. Core samples were transported via courier to AGAT Laboratories accredited sample preparation facility in Burnaby, BC, and were analyzed with 4-acid digestion and an inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectroscopy finish by AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga, ON. A sample quality control/ quality assurance program was implemented. The Company maintained a well-structured QA/QC policy during the 2014 exploration program. Blanks and three individual standards were used. Either a blank or a standard was inserted at a minimum of every 10 samples. Replicates are to be sent to a separate laboratory for third party testing. In addition, the geologist had the discretion to insert blanks in mineralized areas to detect any cross contamination during analysis. AGAT Laboratories also prepared their own QA/QC program, systematically inserting standards, blanks, and replicates into sample batches. Results of the 2014 QA/QC program are pending. If any material differences are detected in the evaluation of the resulting data, the Company will make the required disclosure of such material differences.

Technical information of this news release was prepared by Mr. Cameron Norton, P.Geo, and reviewed by Mr. Bruce Durham, P.Geo. Mr. Durham and Mr. Norton are Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101.
