Pacific Bay Completes Sphinx Mountain Rare Earth Field Program, Assays Pending
Pacific Bay Minerals has completed its field program at the Sphinx Mountain Rare Earth Element project in British Columbia. The program included geological mapping, prospecting, ground-based geophysics, and extensive sampling. A total of 189 soil samples, 25 stream sediment samples, and 3 rock samples were collected, with assays pending. The program aims to follow up on historic stream-sediment results that showed values up to 1.19% TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxides). The company plans to use these results to guide future exploration activities, including airborne geophysics and additional mapping to define drill targets.
Pacific Bay Minerals ha completato il suo programma di campo presso il progetto Sphinx Mountain Rare Earth Element nella Columbia Britannica. Il programma ha incluso mappatura geologica, prospezione, geofisica terrestre e ampio campionamento. Sono stati raccolti un totale di 189 campioni di suolo, 25 campioni di sedimento di torrente e 3 campioni di roccia, con le analisi in attesa. L'obiettivo del programma è quello di seguire i risultati storici dei sedimenti di torrente che hanno mostrato valori fino a 1,19% TREO (Ossidi Totali di Terre Rare). L'azienda prevede di utilizzare questi risultati per guidare le future attività di esplorazione, comprese geofisiche aeree e ulteriori mappature per definire i target di perforazione.

Pacific Bay Minerals는 브리티시 컬럼비아에 있는 Sphinx Mountain Rare Earth Element 프로젝트에 대한 현장 프로그램을 완료했습니다. 이 프로그램에는 지질 조사, 탐사, 지상 지구 물리학 및 광범위한 샘플링이 포함되었습니다. 총 189개의 토양 샘플, 25개의 하천 퇴적물 샘플 및 3개의 암석 샘플이 수집되었으며, 분석 결과는 대기 중입니다. 이 프로그램은 1.19% TREO (총 희토류 산화물)까지의 값을 나타낸 역사적인 하천 퇴적물 결과를 추적하는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다. 회사는 이러한 결과를 사용하여 항공 지구 물리학 및 드릴 목표 정의를 위한 추가 맵핑을 포함한 향후 탐사 활동을 안내할 계획입니다.
Pacific Bay Minerals a terminé son programme de terrain au projet Sphinx Mountain Rare Earth Element en Colombie-Britannique. Le programme a inclus la cartographie géologique, la prospection, la géophysique terrestre et un échantillonnage approfondi. Un total de 189 échantillons de sol, 25 échantillons de sédiments de cours d'eau et 3 échantillons de roche ont été collectés, avec des analyses en attente. Le programme vise à faire suite aux résultats historiques des sédiments de cours d'eau ayant montré des valeurs allant jusqu'à 1,19% TREO (Oxydes Totaux de Terres Rares). L'entreprise prévoit d'utiliser ces résultats pour orienter les futures activités d'exploration, y compris la géophysique aérienne et une cartographie supplémentaire afin de définir les cibles de forage.
Pacific Bay Minerals hat sein Feldprogramm im Sphinx Mountain Rare Earth Element-Projekt in British Columbia abgeschlossen. Das Programm umfasste geologische Kartierung, Prospektion, bodengestützte Geophysik und umfangreiche Probenahme. Insgesamt wurden 189 Bodenproben, 25 Proben von Flussablagerungen und 3 Gesteinsproben entnommen, während die Analysen ausstehen. Ziel des Programms ist es, historische Ergebnisse von Flussablagerungen nachzuvollziehen, die Werte von bis zu 1,19% TREO (Totale Seltene Erden Oxide) zeigten. Das Unternehmen plant, diese Ergebnisse zu nutzen, um künftige Explorationsaktivitäten zu leiten, einschließlich Luftgeophysik und ergänzender Kartierung zur Definition von Bohrzielen.
