Exploration Project
Target
Tungsten Skarn Deposit
Introduction
The Copper King Project consists of 7 unpatented claims and 9 patented claims covering 250ha is located on the west flank of the Trinity Range in Pershing Co., NV.
EMC Metals maintains a 100% interest in the Copper King tungsten deposit.
Geology
The Copper King tungsten mineralization is hosted within 5 separate, parallel Triassic-Jurassic sedimentary horizons including argillite, quartzite, and marble, in contact with a Cretaceous granodiorite intrusion. Limestone beds within the sedimentary package have been silicified forming steeply dipping, epidote-garnet skarns.
Historical Work
The Copper King Property was originally staked in the early 1900s as a copper prospect and very little is known about the early historical work until scheelite was discovered on the property in 1949. The property was mined in 1952 by Cordero Mining Company who removed 750 tons of ore and again in 1956 by Wallace and Durkin, who removed 193 tons of ore from one of two vertical shafts.
In 1969, the property was optioned to Nevada Tungsten and Copper Inc. who completed 2,184 ft of diamond drilling in 4 holes which ranged in depth from 279 ft to 935 ft.
In 1976, General Electric Co. acquired the property and carried out extensive mapping, sampling, and drilling. GE used the results from the drill program to outline a potential for 500,000 tons of material with an average grade of 0.4% WO3*. This estimate has not been verified by EMC geologists and should not be relied upon.
Current Program
The Copper King project is an early stage exploration project and EMC is currently evaluating the property for future exploration potential. Exploration work will continue on the Copper King Project upon improvement in the global financial markets and strengthening in commodity prices.
