Eastfield Resources Ltd. provided an update late yesterday regarding their Iron Lake project. The Iron Lake property is located in the Clinton mining division. It is approximately 45 kilometers northeast of 100 Mile House in south-central British Columbia, Canada. The Iron Lake property consists of 15 mineral claims encompassing 7,116 hectares.
The Iron Lake property covers a large mafic to ultramafic intrusive body. Pyroxenite, olivine pyroxenite, gabbro, sodic pegmatite and diorite occur in contact with a large dominantly granodiorite batholith. The most recent drill program completed at the Iron Lake property was in 2006.
The Iron Lake project is under option to Cobre Exploration Corp., who can earn a 60-percent interest in Iron Lake claims. They can earn this by completing $1.5-million in exploration ($100,000 completed), making payments to Eastfield of $175,000 ($10,000 paid), issuing 600,000 shares to Eastfield (issued), issuing 66,666 post consolidated shares to Eastfield (33,333 issued) and issuing shares with a value of $100,000 to Eastfield before June 1, 2013.
On July 16, 2010, the TSX Venture Exchange advised Cobre that the Iron Lake mineral property underwent review by the exchange and was accepted as a property of merit acceptable for graduating the Cobre to Tier 2 status on the TSX-V. They were instructed to file the approved NI 43-101 report on SEDAR and to proceed with additional filings to effect this graduation.
A 1,000-metre drill program with a budget of $200,000 has been recommended in the approved 43-101 report. Its purpose is to target disseminated and massive sulphide styles of mineralization on the property. An exploration permit to conduct the program has also received approval. The $200,000 of exploration expenditure is required by June 1, 2011.
