Back Forty shows strength for Aquila, HudBay

摘要

The Back Forty deposit in Michigan is flexing its vol-canogenic massive sulphide (VMS) muscles for joint-venture partners Aquila Resources (aqa-t) and HudBay Resources (hbm-t), returning lengthy intercepts of gold and zinc mineralization from an infill and expansion drill program. Aquila has identified some eight mineralized zones at Back Forty to date. Some of the zones comprise true massive sulphide mineralization, others are stringer zones better endowed in zinc than in copper, gold, or silver, and a few only host gold mineralization. Together, the zones already host a significant amount of metal, and new drill results indicate those amounts could increase in an updated resource estimate due out before the year end.
