Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 7, 2020) - SKRR Exploration Inc. (TSXV: SKRR) (OTC Pink: SKKRF) (FSE: B04Q) ("SKRR" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its management and advisors recently met with Cal Huntley, the Mayor of Flin Flon. SKRR is actively drilling and exploring close to the Flin Flon area.
"We are extremely excited to have commenced our inaugural drilling program on the highly prospective Olson property," stated Sherman Dahl, Chief Executive Officer of SKRR. "Our team has a history of identifying world-class discoveries. We look forward to continuing their record in the gold producing Trans Hudson corridor. This drilling campaign follows a very successful fieldwork program in an underexplored property with multiple high-grade gold occurrences."
The four-week program is being supervised by Jarrod Brown, P.Geo, of Terralogic Exploration Services of Cranbrook, B.C., and will rely extensively on support services and personnel from the town of Deschambault Lake, Saskatchewan. Management of Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. ("Eagle Plains"), and SKRR would like to extend their thanks to the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation (PBCN) for their open communication and input, and would like to recognize the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment and its various agencies and contractors for their efforts in keeping this project moving amidst the challenges that COVID-19 has presented.
2020 Drill Targets
The Olson property has seen 4,500 metres of historic diamond drilling in 61 holes with the majority of the drilling in short holes focused on the Olson Lake and Dosco-Siskin zones, with the last drill program completed in 2008. The 2020 drilling will further test historically drilled zones, as well as previously undrilled and underexplored showings based on a current understanding of gold mineralization controls. The drill target modelling is based on a comprehensive integration of historical and recent geophysics and geochemical surveys as well as detailed mapping and sampling work. Numerous drill targets have been generated throughout the 5,835-hectare property, with the current program focused on the central part of the property. Under the terms of the option agreement with Eagle Plains, SKRR may earn-in up to a 75% interest in the Olson property.
Since staking the Olson project in 2017, Eagle Plains has carried out field programs in 2018 and 2020 which have identified new discoveries and refined the understanding of the nature of the gold mineralization. The 2020 phase one field program identified widespread gold mineralization in both soil samples and in rock channel samples (see SKRR's news releases dated September 29, 2020 and September 10, 2020). In addition, an induced polarization/DC resistivity survey defined a number of target areas coincident with anomalous geochemistry and favourable structural settings. IP resistivity has been used in the past to successfully identify drill targets at the Olson showing area with drill holes targeting a linear high chargeability and low conductivity feature with a magnetic high and flanking EM (electromagnetic) anomalies intersecting near-surface mineralization with grades up to 7.5 m at 2.07 g/t Au (SDMI No. 5093; DDH BL-2). Drilling activity is intended to test three separate target areas.
