Discovery: Juggernaut extends Eskay-style VHMS discovery to 700 meters

Discovery: Juggernaut extends Eskay-style VHMS discovery to 700 meters

Juggernaut Exploration Ltd (JUGR.V; OTCQB: JUGRF; FSE: 4JE) has encountered a horizon of strong sulphide mineralization in holes from all six drill stations drilled this now completed season on the Midas property in the Golden Triangle, consistent with mineralization subsequently observed in the vicinity of a Voclanogenic Hosted Massive (VHMS) system. Sulphide) of the Eskay type is observed.

The drilling covers a total strike length of approximately 700 metres. In particular, Juggernaut geologists believe they have discovered a new mineralized trend at approximately 145 metres depth consisting of significant sulphide mineralization with an average width of 10 metres. This horizon extends 450 metres from the Kokomo showing to the south. A second part of the mineralized horizon, splitting off from the main trend, extends 200 metres to the southeast. Visually, the core intercepts are comparable to the Kokomo surface chip samples (9,343 gpt Au, 117 gpt Ag, 1.58% Cu and 1.77% Zn), with laboratory assays pending. The now completed 2024 drill program has thus defined the most extensive mineralization observed to date on the Midas property.

Dan Stuart, President and CEO of Juggernaut Exploration, stated, “The extent and geometry of this newly discovered high-grade mineralization trend has exceeded the team’s expectations and we look forward to expanding this trend with additional drilling and geophysics in 2025.” We look forward to the announcement of assay results in the near future.”

The 2024 drilling program was completed with 2,738 m in 13 holes from 6 drill pads. All results are currently pending. The Company plans to conduct a geophysical survey to determine the extent and geometry of the newly discovered Eskay-style VHMS mineralized zone and additional targets not yet known for 2025.

The drill results, combined with results from last year, indicate an extensive north-south gold, copper and zinc mineralized trend that remains open. The gold and base metal component increases significantly towards the Kokomo showing, which is a strong indication of proximity to the core of a VHMS deposit.

Conclusion: Juggernaut is only exploring on a small fraction of its 20,803 hectare Midas property, 24 km southeast of Terrace, British Columbia. The fresh drill cores from Midas clearly indicate the potential of a new VHMS discovery in the style of Eskay. It is understandable that Juggernaut CEO Dan Stuart is impatiently waiting for the analysis of the drill cores in the laboratory. Juggernaut can already rightly speak of a discovery.
