Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 18, 2024) - Geologica Resource Corp. (CSE: GRCM) (FSE: 862) ("Geologica" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the strategic acquisition of the "Lincoln" property ("Lincoln") in the Atlin mining district of British Columbia.
The Lincoln Property is thought to have the potential of hosting lode gold mineralization. These claims contain similar geology to the producing Otter Creek gold claims 33km to the southwest. Otter Creek has been the recent focus of activity in the Atlin placer camp with the discovery of Lode Gold deposits (1). At Otter Creek Placer mining uncovered significant mineralization in bedrock, resulting in multiple samples of in-situ bedrock gold along Otter Creek. Bonanza grade gold is hosted in quartz veins emplaced along structures in phyllite bedrock. The coarse gold in bedrock supports a new placer source for the Atlin Gold Fields. The findings at Otter Creek are not necessarily indicative to the mineralization on the Lincoln Property.
Recent exploration (2019) by the vendor was designed to further verify the potential of the Lincoln Property to host gold mineralization similar to Otter Creek. The Spatial Geo Hydrocarbon survey ("SGH") indicated a Gold anomaly with a rating of 4 out of 6, indicating the zones warrant more work (BC Geological Survey Assessment Report 39153). Drill testing zones with an SGH Confidence Rating of 4.0 (±0.5) have been drill tested and have had successful mineralization intersections. Lincoln Creek and Otter Creek are both covering areas in which the Surprise Lake Plutonic Suite contacts the Cache Creek Complex - where sedimentary, volcanic, and ultramafic rocks have been mapped. Both Spatial Geochemical Hydrocarbon (SGH) and MMI surveys identified gold anomalies.
Location
The Lincoln Property is situated in the Atlin Mining Division between Gladys Lake (~7 km to the East) and Surprise Lake (~16 km to the SW). Access to the claims is by ATV through a network of historical, unmaintained, and overgrown exploration roads. Abundant water is available for exploration and mining from lakes and creeks.
Property Purchase
Over the next 5 years Geologica will pay the vendor $105,000, issue 1,000,000 shares to the vendor and conduct at least $213,500 of exploration on the Lincoln. Geologica has committed to use the vendors company or a company approved by the vendor to conduct any exploration work on the property. The vendor has been granted a 2% net smelter royalty. 1% of the royalty may be purchased buy Geologica for $1,000,000.
