Geologica Resource Corp

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire – March 21, 2023 – Geologica Resource Corp. (CSE:GRCM) (FSE:862) (Stuttagart:A2QQBC) (“Geologica” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received positive  results from its 2022 SGH* geochemistry survey (the “2022 Survey”).

In the fall of 2022 Geologica collected 182 soil samples from the western portion of its Topley Property  The samples were analysed to identify redox cells, volcanic massive sulphide, gold and copper anomalies. The yellow dots on the following map identify the location of the new soil samples.

The 2022 survey successful identified 2 additional potential redox zones in the western portion of the Topley Property. These cells are symmetrically segmented halo anomalies.

Typically, the SGH VMS class is expected to show halo anomalies that delineate Redox conditions in the overburden and can approximate the VMS mineralization that may be present at depth. The 2022 survey indeed illustrates what appears to be 2 additional kilometer scale potential Segmented-Nested Halo anomalies. We believe that mineralization might exist at these locations as a vertical projection beneath these anomalies.

The analysis for the detection of potential copper mineralization illustrates apical anomalies as expected. Each of these apical anomalies, especially those that show synergy with redox zones, may be indicative of copper mineralization.

The geochemical analysis for the detection of potential gold mineralization illustrates several apical gold anomalies. These anomalies maybe related to some kind of gold mineralization. The most important locations to be investigated further are those having synergy with the redox zones. We believe that mineralization might exist at these locations as a vertical projection beneath these anomalies.

The Company continues to analyse this data along with previous geochemistry and geophysical data to develop the spring exploration program for Topley.

CLAIMS HISTORICAL WORK

Previous drilling on the claims has indicated intense epithermal alteration with Ag, Pb, and Zn mineralization. Sporadic regional till samples in the area are in the 90th percentile for As, Sb, Pb and Zn. These claims have been mapped as mostly light grey FS phyric andesites, maroon FS phyric andesites with disseminated magnetite and monazite. Monazite stocks with in andesites is similar geology to Mount Milligan.

 

TOPLEY CLAIMS

*SGH Survey

Actlabs describes the SGH survey as follows: “Actlabs’ Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbon (SGH) analysis is a high-performance deep penetrating geochemistry which has successfully shown the presence of deeply buried mineral deposits. The survey technique involves the collection of near surface soils, peat, humus, till, and sand in the field and then desorbing the weakly bound heavy hydrocarbons in the C5-C17 carbon series range at the laboratory from sample material. The desorbed organic compounds are collected and introduced into a Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) where over 160 of these heavier hydrocarbon compounds are measured. The analysis identifies a mixture of hydrocarbon compounds that provide a highly confident, unique fingerprint that identifies mineralization under thick cover. Measurements do not recognize inorganic content in the samples; therefore, the results do not reflect mobilized anomalies or any nugget affect. SGH in tandem with geophysics is a cost-effective technique to improve drill targeting success.”
