(TSXV: CD) (the \"Company\") has released an update on the work program at its 100-percent-owned 14,077 hectare North Rackla claim block in the Yukon.\nDr. Charles Fipke reports\nHIGHLIGHTS\nStructural mapping provides clarity on Massive Sulphide Zone Soil-talus sampling program progressing well Prospecting underway Drilling to start in mid AugustStructural Mapping of Massive Sulphide Zone\nGeological mapping by Chris Buchanan, M.Sc. P.Geo., has been underway on the North Rackla Project since the beginning of July. The mapping is focused on the vicinity of the Main Zone silver-lead-zinc discovery. The objective of this work is to develop an improved structural model of the Main Zone that provides a better understanding of how faulting has moved the mineralization.\nThe Main Zone mineralization is hosted within a thick dolomite unit which is underlain by a succession of siliciclastic rocks (siltstone, sandstone and argillite). This contact, along with distinct layers within these broader units, allow the faulting and folding history of the area to be determined.\nThree generations of folding (F1, F2, and F3 in order from earliest to most recent) have been identified. The F2 folds are the dominant regional structural feature. They are kilometre scale, asymmetric and verge to the southeast. In the area of the Main Zone a F2 fold controls the orientation of the dolomite which hosts the mineralization. The mineralization occurs in the northeast striking, steeply dipping southeast limb of the fold.\nThere have also been multiple generations of faults in the Main Zone area. The earliest were thrust faults which formed alongside the earlier F1 and F2 folds. Three younger generations of brittle faults have cut across and displaced the mineralization for distances ranging from several metres to 200 metres. Now that the ...
