Property NewsJanuary 26, 2005 Crowflight Minerals has released the results from exploration at the Mystery offset dike, Peter's Roost and AER Kidd properties in the Sudbury basin, Ontario, Canada. Crowflight plans to execute a two- hole diamond drilling program to test the extension of significant historical PGE drill intersections following a re-evaluation of historical geophysical database. The MegaTEM II airborne geophysical survey flown over the Peter's Roost property revealed six anomalies (A to F) that have electromagnetic response characteristics and coincident magnetic features typical of massive sulphide lenses. Crowflight is planning a drill program in the first quarter 2005 to test the first-priority A, B and C anomalies. Drilling on the AER Kidd property encountered Ni, Cu and PGE mineralization in the Worthington offset at the property. Stringer and massive sulphides are present and are linked to an MT geophysical anomaly (anomaly 1375). DDH-3AW1 intersected 19.2 m (9.8 m in true width) grading 0.8 % Ni, 0.48 % Cu, 1.02 g/t PGEs and 3.28 g/t Ag, which included a higher-grade core of 1.46 % Ni, 0.56 % Cu, 1.31 g/t PGEs and 3.73 g/t Ag over an 8.3-m (4.2 m in true width) interval.
August 31, 2004 A drill program of 18,099 metres of diamond drilling in 27 holes from 12 different drill platforms to test a series of Magnetotelluric (“MT”) geophysical anomalies along a 1 kilometre segment of the Worthington Offset Dyke was completed. A total 11 of the 27 core drill holes completed intersected sulphide-bearing Quartz Diorite (“QD“); whereas another 10 core drill holes did not intersect the QD due to it being cut-off by gabbro dykes, displaced by faults or oriented differently than predicted.
June 21, 2004 At the halfway point in the deep diamond drilling program under Perch Lake to test strong conductive anomalies at depths between 800 m and 1,500 m from surface derived from the MT geophysical survey completed in 2004. To date, 2,000 m of the planned 3,700-metre program is completed in three holes. Crowflight expects the drilling portion to be completed by the end of Jul/04. Initial results from hole WO-10 indicate the presence of disseminated pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite in the hangingwall sediments above the Worthington offset dike, which was not common in the earlier drilling to the southwest of Perch Lake.
