[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\nTrading Symbol: JSP (TSX-V)\n\nCALGARY, Sept. 5 /CNW/ - Jasper Mining Corporation (the \"Company\") is\npleased to announce preliminary airborne geophysical results from the\nCompany's 100% owned Sanca property, located immediately east of Kootenay Lake\nnear the community of Kuskanook, BC. The property lies between Sanca Creek (to\nthe south) and Akokli Creek (to the north) and is underlain by the Sanca\nStock, immediately adjacent to the Mount Skelly Stock, both of which are\nCretaceous age intrusions correlated to the Bayonne Magmatic Suite. Previous\nwork completed on these intrusions by the BC Geological Survey Branch\nsuggested they may have intrusion-related gold potential. Numerous MINFILE\noccurrences within, and immediately adjacent to, the property, confirm the\npresence of polymetallic vein type mineralized occurrences, including the\nValparaiso and Government vein systems, with reported metals including copper,\ngold, lead, silver and zinc.\nAn Aeroquest International (\"Aeroquest\") airborne geophysical survey was\nrecently completed on the Sanca property and the Company is in receipt of the\npreliminary data, comprised of electromagnetic, magnetic and radiometric data.\nElectromagnetic (\"E M\") data is expected to identify and delineate possible\nconductors, which may include faults and/or mineralized veins. Magnetics is\nexpected to allow differentiation of intrusive phases from sedimentary strata\nhosting the intrusions and, therefore, allow possible identification of one\npossible control to mineralization. Finally, the radiometric portion of the\nsurvey detects the response of three radioactive elements, specifically,\npotassium, thorium and uranium. Again, radiometrics may allow the Company to\ndifferentiate separate intrusive phases.\nThe Electromagnetic data document a number of strong anomalies generally\nlocated around the periphery of the intrusion. There are at least five large\nsingle or composite EM anomalies (in excess of 1 km length on the map) located\naround the margin of the intrusion, with most along the western margin. Two\nare broadly coincident with portions of Akokli Creek, however, in detail they\nare slightly oblique to the creek and may represent sub-surface features\ntrending northeast out of the valley. Given the documented MINFILE occurrences\npreviously reported from the ho...
