Vancouver-based junior Formation Capital (VSE) expects to proceed with a prefeasibility study of its Black Pine project in Lemhi Cty., Idaho.
Reverse circulation drilling is currently evaluating copper oxide cap mineralization above a strataform exhalative copper-gold-cobalt sulphide system.
The program is covering about 4,000 ft. of the known 20,000 ft. of mineralized strike length in an effort to outline a potentially open-pit, leachable copper deposit.
Formation is also conducting diamond drilling to test targets on the remainder of the mineralized system.
Drill results from Black Pine include:
Hole Interval Width Copper Cobalt
