From Nov 2019 to Nov 2024
THEMAC Resources Group Limited ("THEMAC" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:MAC) today provided an update on the 2011 core drilling program at the Company's Copper Flat project.
2011 CORE DRILLING PROGRAM-Results for Holes CF-11-01 through CF-11-07
The 2011 Copper Flat drilling program, addressing pre-feasibility study needs, began in June 2011 and ended October 4, 2011. Sixteen holes were completed for 16,539.1 feet of core drilled, in 14 locations. This represents a little over 25% of the 47 holes originally permitted. The remaining holes will be drilled during feasibility study work, as needed, scheduled for early in 2012.
Assay results have been recently received for eight of the 16 holes drilled in 14 sites; CF-11-01, CF-11-01b, CF-11-02, CF-11-03, CF-11-04, CF-11-05, CF-11-06, and CF-11-07 (see the assay data in Table 1, Appendix 1). A total of 8,058.0 feet of drilling was completed in these 8 holes. Figure 1, Appendix 1, is a map illustrating drill hole locations.

Note: Intervals were calculated greater than/equal to 10 feet of copper
values equal to or greater than 0.65% Cu, with individual five foot
intervals of less than 0.65% included between 0.65% Cu or greater.
The 2011 drilling was targeted to confirm existing grades, step out laterally and to depth to test for increases to the resources, and confirm and expand high grade mineralized areas. This program was designed to provide data to the pre-feasibility study to be completed first quarter 2012, and to provide geotechnical and geochemical information for the planning and permitting of future operations. Simultaneously, valuable data continues to be gleaned from historic data sources, and is being included in the pre-feasibility work that is progressing.
Table 2 summarizes the average grades for each of these holes from surface to total depth.

(i) Values below the detection limit were converted to zero for

Results show 102 intervals with greater than or equal to 0.65% Cu, with a high of 2.26%. Table 3 below lists each of these intervals on a per hole basis. Holes CF-11-01 and CF-11-01b are drilled on the same pad within approximately 30 feet of one another. Poor drill methods caused hole CF-11-01 to fail at 309.7 feet. Comparing both holes from 1 to about 310 feet, there are 18 intervals in each hole with values equal to and above 0.65% Cu; a good check against one another (Appendix 1). About half of the 102 intervals are in holes CF-11-01 and CF-11-01b; and the remaining are found in holes CF-11-03, CF-11-04, CF-11-05 and CF-11-07. No high grade intercepts were encountered in CF-11-02 and CF-11-06.
"We are very pleased with the drilling results to date," said Andre Douchane, CEO. "There is excellent long hole confirmation of the mineralization that should have a positive impact in the project. The program is verifying previous work and giving us better insight into a potential deeper zone. Our next steps are to use this information to design next year's exploration and development drilling programs to include a deep drilling exploration program that will test the high grade potential at depth."

All of the holes summarized in Table 3 were drilled as angle core holes drilling across, beneath, and adjacent to previous drilling. Hole CF-11-02 was drilled as a vertical hole testing a deep (600-1,000 foot) IP target identified by a Titan 24 MT-DC/IP geophysical survey completed in Spring 2011. Core drilling was completed generally as HQ size core, although some holes were initiated as PQ to drill through the initial 20-70 feet of broken ground (previously shot mining benches). Hole CF-11-04 encountered an underground working (used for metallurgical bulk sampling in the early 1980s) at 158 to 168 feet; this hole was then necked down to NQ size core, and drilling resumed from 188 feet to 811.9 feet (td).
There are thirty-four (34) intercepts with values of greater than or equal to 300ppb Au. The highest Au value encountered in the drilling was in CF-11-01b, with a high of 1,050ppb. Of the 34 intercepts, twenty-seven (27) intercepts were encountered in holes CF-11-01 and CF-11-01b. Table 4 summarizes the intercepts and values.

The grades encountered when drilling across historic holes confirmed previous intercepts and grades; helped to define boundaries between the higher grade breccia pipe core and the surrounding quartz monzonite; extended previously drilled high grade zones; and extended mineralization into previously untested areas laterally and to depth. The overall grades of the assays received to date are comparable to what has been encountered in previous drilling campaigns, and provide for further confirmation of the mineralization.
Assay Methods
Assaying was undertaken at Skyline Laboratory in Tucson, AZ. Copper, molybdenum, gold and silver were determined by multiple methods; gold was by fire assay with AA finish; silver was by AA; and copper and molybdenum by ICP. Reference standards and blanks were inserted in the sample streams, along with duplicate sampling of the core.
Standard procedures for core handling were in place during the program, with core being logged into the core facility at every shift change. A geologist was on site for all sample preparation and shipping.
About the Copper Flat Project
Copper Flat is a former producing mine located approximately 20 miles southwest of Truth or Consequences in Sierra County, State of New Mexico, USA. Permitting for a return of the project to production is at an advanced stage, and a prefeasibility study is in progress and targeted for completion during first quarter 2012.
The Copper Flat project is a porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold-silver deposit. The deposit has NI43-101 Indicated Mineral Resources of 107 million short tons grading 0.303% copper and 0.01% molybdenum for 645 million lbs copper and 21.4 million lbs molybdenum, plus Inferred Mineral Resources of 46 million short tons grading 0.24% copper and 0.006% molybdenum for 222 million lbs copper and 5.6 million lbs molybdenum.
The gold and silver content of the deposit is evidenced by historic production and metallurgical test work, and gold and silver are targeted for incorporation into the deposit's NI43-101 Mineral Resource statement following completion and interpretation of a re-assay program using historic drill pulps.
An NI43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") dated June 30, 2010 and updated February 25, 2011 has been completed for Copper Flat and can be viewed on SEDAR.
Civil infrastructure in place at Copper Flat includes a tailings dam, largely pre-stripped open pit, power lines, water well field and pipeline, access roads, diversion channels and building foundations. The project land package comprises in excess of 1,200 hectares. For more information visit www.nmcopper.com.
