Wallbridge Mining has started their 2008 exploration program on their Rogers Creek Copper-Molybdenum-Gold porphyry property located about 40 kilometres south-east of Pemberton, in south-western British Columbia. The Rogers Creek property was acquired in February 2008 from a local prospector following a due diligence period during which limited reconnaissance sampling of both rock and soil defined a broad, geochemically anomalous trend that extends for 4 km around the original discovery showing. A possible porphyry copper system on the property is indicated by the geochemical anomaly, which roughly follows the boundary between a magnetic low centered on the northern lobe of the host intrusive and a flanking magnetic high. Soil samples appear to define two overlapping geochemical trends, the first with samples that are enriched in Ag, Pb, Zn, As, and Ba occurring for about a kilometre around the original discovery cross-cutting a second, broader trend, which extends for several kilometres to the northeast and southwest that is enriched in Cu, Ag, Au and Mo. Rock samples show a similar zonation, though sampling is limited and the values are more sporadic.
Rock samples exhibit weak propylitic to argillic alteration consistent with a porphyry copper environment. Analyses of the regional geological/structural setting indicates that the host pluton(s) were emplaced along a series of northeast trending crustal transfer faults within a similar geodynamic/tectonic setting as giant Cu-Mo-Au deposits in South America and Indonesia.
Bruce Jago, PhD. P.Geo, Vice-President, Exploration of Wallbridge Mining Company Limited, is the Qualified Person responsible for the Rogers Creek Project.
