[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, March 11, 2020 /CNW/ - Etruscus Resources Corp. (CSE: ETR) (the \"Company\" or \"Etruscus\") is pleased to provide an update on the field work carried out on its Sugar property (\"Sugar\") staked in 2019 as a result of GIS compilation work. The 4,508 hectares (ha) were staked in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, 7 km northwest of the Company's Rock & Roll Property (Click here to view map). Assessment of the field work suggests Sugar has large scale copper porphyry potential due to multiple mineralized showings and alteration footprints identified on this undrilled property. Highlights: Texas Creek Plutonic Suite Rocks mapped, similar to those found at large, nearby deposits like KSM, Red Chris, Johnny Mountain and Brucejack Multiple styles of hydrothermal mineralization across an 8 km copper anomaly Skarn showing includes 3.63% zinc, 0.12% copper 0.82% copper in newly identified vein The 2019 field season consisted of mapping, prospecting and sampling. Texas Creek Plutonic Suite Rocks and multiple styles of hydrothermal mineralization were identified across an 8 km copper anomaly on Sugar. These rocks are considered to be responsible for many large mineral deposits in the area such as KSM, Brucejack, Red Chris and Johnny Mountain. This suggests strong potential for a major discovery, supporting our conclusion that further exploration work is warranted. Etruscus geologists were able to identify skarn mineralization on the property near contacts between a limestone package and intrusive rocks. Large gossans were outlined that contained magnetite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite and the gossanous trend was seen to project for over 1 km east on the property. Grab samples* taken at this location assayed 3.63% zinc and 0.12% copper. The limestone package that hosts the skarn extends for over 4 km and will be fully evaluated for mineralization due to its proximity to Texas Creek intrusions. Etruscus identified 2 quartz veins during its exploration work. A grab sample taken from a newly identified quartz/chalcopyrite vein measuring 25 m in strike length assayed 0.82% copper. This new showing occurs in an area of large glacial retreat with consistent copper mineralization projecting towards 2 of the shrinking glaciers. Historic stream sediment samples taken from Fowler Creek that...
