Military Metals (CSE:MILI) has begun fieldwork at the Manson Bay gold-bearing polymetallic project in Saskatchewan, Canada, with field crew arriving onsite on 12 July.
The program is budgeted for C$500,000, which will focus on an area of the project which indicates a broader zone of mineralisation first discovered in 2024. The fieldwork will include prospecting and rock sampling, geological mapping and B-horizon soil sampling carried out by a four-person field crew.
In 2024, five drillholes were geophysically surveyed, revealing the existence of an expansive conductive layer, which highlighted the potential broader zone of mineralisation.
Manson Bay was the company’s first material mineral property acquisition prior to deciding to focus on antimony.
First discovered in 1953, subsequent geophysical surveys followed by drilling revealed anomalous gold and silver values. Intermittent exploration work over three decades has focused on a large conductor located along the eastern shore of Manson Bat which was superficially tested by drilling.
In 2021, gold-silver-lead-zinc mineralisation was observed to be hosted in stratabound, tabular, massive sulphide horizons that are intensely chlorite-sericite altered and mineralised by net-textured to semi-massive sulphides.
These horizons were interpreted to possibly represent a deformed and sheared volcanogenic massive sulphide system.
Manson Bay consists of 13 mining claims comprising 4,293.2 hectares located in east-central Saskatchewan, roughly 40km northwest of the mining town of Flin Flon, Manitoba, Canada.
Military Metals is focused on exploring and discovering the metals that make a difference in defence technology.
