EASTFIELD COMMENCES 2025 FIELD PROGRAM AT INDATA PROPERTY
The 2025 exploration program has commenced at Eastfield Resources Ltd.'s Indata property, located in central British Columbia. Eastfield holds a 100-per-cent interest in Indata, with a 60-per-cent interest currently optioned to
Star Copper Corp. The property is primarily prospective for copper, gold and molybdenum, with significant occurrences of antimony also documented.
Notable historical drill results include:
-
Copper: Hole IN22-82 intersected 174.0 metres grading
0.23 per cent Cu, including a higher-grade interval of 29.0 metres grading
0.47 per cent Cu.
Stepout drilling from this hole is planned for 2025.
-
Gold: Historical hole DDH88-11 intersected 4.0 metres grading
47.26 grams per tonne Au.
-
Molybdenum: Hole IN22-74 returned 31.0 metres at the bottom of the hole grading
0.102 per cent Mo, including 7.5 metres grading
0.320 per cent Mo. Stepout drilling is also planned for this area in 2025.
In the early stages of exploration at Indata, the primary focus was lode gold, with
Placer Dome Inc.
financing much of the work through private placements in Eastfield. Gold mineralization was commonly associated with stibnite, with antimony assays often exceeding
0.5 per cent and in some cases reaching
3.8 per cent Sb. Mechanical trenching and drilling revealed numerous gold-bearing veins and silicified zones across the property.
Soil sampling programs conducted over the years have evolved from targeting gold to copper, with robust copper values and widespread anomalous antimony readings (commonly over
100 parts per million) observed over a north-south width exceeding five kilometres.
In 2022, exploration in the northwestern sector of the property targeting potential
carbonate-hosted gold
or
carbonate replacement deposit mineralization resulted in the discovery of hole IN22-84. This hole intersected 81.0 metres of limestone breccia mineralized with
silica, arsenic and antimony, sitting above a quartz monzonite intrusive sporadically mineralized with molybdenite. Follow-up geochemical analysis revealed extensive anomalous antimony in soils surrounding this zone, reinforcing the area's exploration potential.
The Indata property is located near the
Pinchi fault zone, approximately 120 kilometres northwest of Fort St. James, B.C. The historic
Snowbird mine, situated 12 km west of Fort St. James along the same fault zone, produced a small tonnage of high-grade ore during the Second World War, reported to average
9 per cent antimony
and
0.25 ounce per ton gold
(approximately 8.6 grams per tonne gold). The geological similarities between Indata and Snowbird support continued exploration for antimony-gold mineralization across Indata's 14-kilometre strike length.
