CANADIAN EMPIRE STEPS UP THE HUNT FOR MONSTER DEPOSITS
Canadian Empire Exploration Corp. (“Canadian Empire”) is pleased to report the acquisition, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, of an extensive portion of a Proterozoic age shale basin prospective for the discovery of SEDEX-style nickel-copper-zinc mineralization in the McBride area of east-central British Columbia.
Canadian Empire, through a grubstake agreement with two prospectors, acquired the rights to over 2500 claim units covering an area measuring approximately 75 by 7 kilometres (approx. 500 square kilometres).
The prospectors’ regional scale stream sediment sampling identified a 50 kilometre-long trend of anomalous nickel, copper and zinc values. Detailed silt sampling of individual creeks has yielded consistent high metal values along stream lengths of 0.5 to over 2.0 kilometres with values peaking at 1566 ppm Ni, 445 ppm Cu, 1361 ppm Zn and attendant values to 681 ppm Co and 3.0 ppm Au. Initial prospecting, until terminated by snow conditions, identified over 25 gossans (rusty zones) aligned along the favourable horizon resulting from weathering of sulphide mineralization.
Host rocks are late Proterozoic sediments, recognized worldwide as favourable hosts for large deposits. The stratigraphic succession consists of a metal-rich miogeoclynical black shale horizon with opportunity for discovery of SEDEX nickel-copper-zinc-precious metal massive sulphide mineralization.
John Brock, President of Canadian Empire, said that “It is a unique opportunity for a junior explorer to acquire over 90% of an entire shale basin that is prospective for discovery of Monster Deposits. Shale basins along the ancient shoreline of western North America host multi-billion dollar metal districts such as Sullivan, the Anvil District and Cirque”. It is notable that John Brock and Wayne Roberts, Vice-President, Exploration of Canadian Empire, each played important roles in the discovery of significant deposits in the Anvil and Cirque camps.
Canadian Empire may earn an initial 90% interest in the McBride Project by spending $1.0 million in exploration costs on the property, making staged cash payments totaling $140,000 and issuing in stages a total of 250,000 units by December 31, 2008 to the prospectors. Each unit will be comprised of one share in the capital of Canadian Empire and one 12-month warrant, priced in accordance with market at the time of issuance, allowing for the acquisition of one share of Canadian Empire.
Canadian Empire holds the option to acquire the remaining 10% for cash payment of $100,000 and the issuance of 1.5 million shares of Canadian Empire to the prospectors. The prospectors will hold a 1% NSR on future production, of which Canadian Empire has the right to buy down 0.5% NSR for $1.0 million.
Canadian Empire plans to initiate a property-wide exploration program in April, 2005.
