VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2018 / Tasca Resources Ltd. ("Tasca" or the "Company") (TSX.V:TAC, FSE:3TA) is pleased to announce it has acquired the Selish Mountain property, a 290 hectare block approximately 15 kilometres southwest of Merritt, British Columbia and 10 kilometres to the north of Westhaven Ventures Inc.'s Shovelnose Gold Property, where recent drilling has returned intersections of 8.95 g/t gold over 46.2 metres and 24.5 g/t gold over 17.77 metres. Tasca cautions investors it has not verified the Westhaven exploration data.
Historic exploration on the Selish Mountain property consists of geological mapping, soil sampling and induced polarization surveys for porphyry copper in the early 1970's. Excavator trenching and diamond drilling uncovered sulfide mineralization in the intrusive and hosting volcanics, consisting of disseminations, blebs and discontinuous stringers of chalcopyrite and molybdenite. This description is taken from the BC Ministry of Energy and Mines Minfile database. The geological data is not available, so Tasca must caution investors it has not verified the exploration data.
"Tasca believes in the mineral potential of the Spences Bridge and Nicola Group rocks throughout the lower central interior of British Columbia" said CEO Clive Massey. "While everyone is obviously excited about the Shovelnose discovery in Spences Bridge Group rocks, the potential of the underlying Nicola Group rocks can't be overlooked. We feel the Selish Mountain property has excellent potential for gold and fits in with our Princeton Gold Property 95 kilometres to the southeast."
The Selish Mountain property is underlain by mafic to felsic pyroclastic rocks and flows with lesser argillite, sandstone and local carbonate of the upper Triassic Nicola Group. The western third of the property is underlain by fine through coarse clastic sediments of the Eocene Princeton Group. A small dioritic intrusion of late Triassic early Jurassic age lies immediately south of the property boundary.
Tasca suspects the historic exploration was solely focussed on copper and assaying was likely restricted to copper as well. Tasca plans a reconnaissance trip to the property to view outcrops and take some preliminary samples to assess the precious metal potential of the property.
Terms of the Option Agreement with the Vendor are as follows; pay $5,000 on signing (paid), pay $5,000 and issue 700,000 common shares within three days of TSX Venture Exchange approval; pay $10,000 and issue 1,300,000 common shares within 12 months of the Agreement date.
