EnGold Mines Ltd. reports that EnGold plans to commence a deep drill hole (up to 800 metres) in late February, 2020 at its Lac La Hache Property to explore an area believed to potentially host the porphyry copper-gold "roots" of the property's many mineralized zones. The planned hole will be the first to test below the "Ann North" prospect, where prior drilling by the company (early 2000s) encountered significant core lengths (over 100 metres) grading 0.2% to 0.3% copper in hydrothermal breccias, at shallow depths. The exploration history at Lac La Hache is typical of porphyry districts worldwide, requiring extensive, multi-year drill programs and surveys to define the various parts within these large magmatic-hydrothermal systems. Like other districts, mineralized skarns (e.g. Spout, G1, Nemrud, others) and hydrothermal breccia deposits (Aurizon and others) at Lac La Hache are created by metal-bearing fluids driven upwards by hot porphyritic intrusions at depth. As exploration evidence builds, various mineral deposits formed by and within these large systems may be successfully discovered, each providing strong evidence for the causative, mineralizing porphyry intrusions at the system core. Some of these deposits may themselves offer potential for economically viable small-scale extraction, especially if several can be agglomerated. At Lac La Hache, these deposits include: Volcanosediment-hosted, skarn/carbonate replacement magnetite-copper deposits at Spout and recently discovered G1 zone; Intrusion-hosted, gold-rich copper-gold-silver within hydrothermal breccias and related fracturing at Aurizon Deposit; Numerous contact-related copper zones near intrusive contacts; Disseminated copper within intensely fractured, potassically altered porphyritic rocks exposed in several locations, including Ann North-Berkey prospects.
