What Treasures Await Discovery in Blackwolf's 2023 Drilling and Sampling?
Exploring the Promising Results from Blackwolf's 2023 Drilling and Surface Sampling Program

Blackwolf Copper and Gold Ltd. (TSXV: BWCG, OTC:BWCGF) is thrilled to unveil the conclusive assay results stemming from the comprehensive exploration efforts at the Harry Property, along with the groundbreaking inaugural drilling venture at the Cantoo Property. Both properties are strategically positioned within the highly prospective Golden Triangle, a region renowned for its rich mineral deposits. This article will delve into the key findings and technical insights gained from these significant projects.
Exploring the Harry Property
Multiple Mineralization-Styles at Swann Zone
The Harry Property, situated approximately 30 kilometers north of Stewart, BC, proved to be a treasure trove of mineralization diversity. In particular, the Swann Zone stood out with two major mineralization styles identified:
- High-Grade Gold-Silver Veins
The first style encompasses high-grade gold-silver veins ensconced in an extensive quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration package. Surface samples recorded an impressive 4.16 g/t Au and 9.71 g/t Ag, with subsequent drilling yielding 1.30 g/t Au and 2.90 g/t Ag over 2.0 meters. Notably, previously released results showcased even higher grades of 312 g/t Au and 101 g/t Ag over 1.0 meter.
- Multi-Ounce Silver Base-Metal Veins with Gold Credits
The second style encompasses multi-ounce silver base-metal veins boasting remarkable surface sample values such as 1,049 g/t Ag, 4.447 g/t Au, 1.521% Cu, 8.0% Pb, and 1.55% Zn. Drilling further substantiated these findings with results of 374 g/t Ag, 5.34% Pb, and 1.41% Zn over 0.47 meters.
Multi-Zone Mineralization
The exploration effort at the Harry Property uncovered silver and base-metal occurrences spread over a 3-kilometer trend. Additionally, two areas with intense quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration were identified, each spanning up to 1 kilometer and associated with the exciting discovery of high-grade visible gold veins at the Swann Zone.
Exploring the Cantoo Property
High-Grade Mineralization Highlighted
The Cantoo Property, located 15 kilometers north of Hyder, Alaska, displayed high-grade mineralization during surface exploration. Multiple scree samples revealed exceptional values, with notable results such as 29.2 g/t Au, 2,378 g/t Ag, 4.345% Cu, 7.24% Zn, and 19.9 g/t Au and 7.92 g/t Ag.
Porphyry-Style Alteration in Inaugural Drilling
In a pioneering move, Blackwolf initiated its first-ever drill program on the Cantoo Property in 2023, achieving significant results. The drilling intersected porphyry-style alteration and strong zones of quartz-sericite alteration with sulphide mineralization. These mineralized alteration zones are closely associated with the Jurassic-aged Texas Creek Intrusion suite, as highlighted in hole CT23-003, which recorded 1.53 g/t Au and 1.01 g/t Au over 1.5 meters.
Rob McLeod, Blackwolf’s Executive Chairman, expressed his enthusiasm for the 2023 program, emphasizing the discovery of Brucejack-style remobilized coarse electrum veins at Harry. He also highlighted the extensive sulphide-rich veining within a wide halo of strongly anomalous gold and silver. The focus for 2024 will be on targeting additional high-grade surface values and structural/geochemical traps located up-dip from the high-grade veins.
Blackwolf's CEO, Morgan Lekstrom, emphasized the successful execution of a budget-friendly program, expanding on previous results at the Harry Property and gaining a comprehensive understanding of the Cantoo Geology. He outlined the company's readiness to proceed with an extensive drill program on the Harry Property in 2024 and identified multiple areas with potential for further high-grade discoveries. Moreover, Lekstrom underscored the importance of the insights gained from Cantoo, enabling more efficient and cost-effective drilling in pursuit of significant new discoveries.
Concluding Thoughts
In conclusion, Blackwolf Copper and Gold Ltd. has achieved remarkable results in its exploration efforts at both the Harry and Cantoo Properties. The diverse mineralization styles, high-grade values, and extensive alteration zones uncovered are indicative of the substantial potential within these properties. As Blackwolf continues to explore and test promising targets, the future holds exciting prospects for the company in the heart of the Golden Triangle.
