Calgary-based Trev (ASE), which is becoming increasingly active in the mineral exploration business, says it has expanded its Bellas Gate property in Jamaica to encompass more than 44 square miles.
The company also has an option to earn a 100% interest in Jam-Can Resources’ adjacent licence by spending $250,000 over three years. The land acquisition is the first step toward a proposed 2-phase, $2.38-million exploration program. Targets include four historical copper porphyry deposits with anomalous precious metal content as well as several stream sediment gold anomalies identified by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).
Geofine Exploration Consultants, an association of former managers from the LAC/Bond (TSE) offices, is providing their service for the project. The group includes David Malloy, former senior vice-president of Canadian exploration for Bond Gold and LAC.
Historical exploration on the central Jamaican property has outlined 120 copper showings, occurrences and deposits. These include the Conners and Camel Hill porphyries, which have returned intervals of 341 ft. grading 0.64% copper and 184 ft. grading 1.51% copper.
To evaluate the gold potential within the porphyries, CIDA and Trev resampled some of the Conners drill holes. Intersections graded up to 0.03 oz. gold per ton over strong widths.
Geofine has recommended an $850,000, phase-1 exploration program to prioritize drill targets on the property. Trev’s (formerly Trevco Oil and Gas) mandate is currently being redirected to allow the company to become an “aggressive international mineral exploration entity” at the grassroots level.
