Cloudbreak Completes First Programme at the Foggy Mountain Project
Cloudbreak Discovery Plc (LSE: CDL), a leading natural resources project generator with a particular focus on commodities key to the energy transition, is pleased to announce that it has completed a reconnaissance surface programme at the Foggy Mountain Project (the "Property") in the Toodoggone region in north central British Columbia, located immediately east of the past producing Kemess Mine. The Property was initially generated and staked in April 2022.
Programme Highlights:
· Confirmed three of the four historic mineral occurrences (the fourth minfile area was not visited in 2022)
· Seven grab samples assayed >1% copper (Cu)
· Completed prospecting and mapping across the central portion of the Property
Kyler Hardy, CEO of Cloudbreak Discovery, commented, "These encouraging results seen at one our early-stage targets demonstrate how Cloudbreak can generate interesting ideas with potentially significant exploration upside for our partners. British Columbia remains a globally significant source of copper with many valid unexplored or under-explored targets.
"With Foggy Mountain located at the south end of the Toodoggone region, the project is well situated, lying on trend with several past-producers, and has mineralization which has been described as comparable to that of Kemess. Our focus is now on identifying a partner to further explore Foggy Mountain and if successful, develop the project to its full potential."
About Foggy Mountain
The Foggy Mountain Project covers 4,209.96 hectares, is roughly northwest-southeast trending, and comprises three claim blocks. It is located at the southern end of the Toodoggone Camp, in north central British Columbia, near Thutade Lake approximately 250 kilometres ("km") north of Smithers and 430 km northwest of Prince George. The Toodoggone camp is denoted by a series of northwest trending structures cutting Paleozoic through Mesozoic sedimentary, volcanic and intrusive rocks. The Property lies along a mineralized corridor containing several past producers, including Shasta, Baker, Lawyers and Kemess South.
The property geology is comprised of early Cretaceous to early Jurassic granodiorite and monzodiorite intrusions, Stuhini group sediments and volcanic rocks, and Asitka group Permian to Devonian limestone. These units are cut by a series of northwest-trending steeply dipping strike-slip faults. Sampling has identified multiple showings where mineralization is associated with quartz, quartz-carbonate, or massive sulphide veins or on the Property. Several mineralized outcrops were observed to be semi-massive to massive sulphide skarn in limestone. The other pertinent style of mineralization observed was comprised of fine grained disseminated pyrite with anomalous precious metal content in altered volcanic and intrusives.
Of particular note is the alteration in the intrusive rocks (granodiorite and diorite) showing quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration. Multiple mineralizing events are manifested in these veins and range in composition from quartz-pyrite (+/-magnetite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite and gold) and pyrite-chalcopyrite (+/-gold). In addition, host rocks contain disseminated mineralization. The overall style of mineralization is similar to that observed at Kemess South, which produced 2.978 million ounces of gold and 794 million pounds of copper during its thirteen year production life.
