Solitaire discovers possible Fault on Chikuni PropertyMonday, March 01, 2004 March 1, 2004: Solitaire Minerals Corp. (the Company) wishes to announce that results of the Airborne Geophysics and ground based Gravity Survey of the Company's 100% owned Chikuni property have been received.
The Chikuni property is comprised of 3 claims located in two land parcels in the Red Lake district of Ontario Canada. The largest section of the Chikuni claims, comprising approximately 1500 acres, lies immediately south of and adjoining the Goldcorp Red Lake Mine property. The Airborne Geophysics was completed by TERRAQUEST Ltd. of Toronto, under the supervision of Charles Q. Barrie, M.Sc., and the Gravity Survey was completed by Dr. Allan Spector Ph.D. The results are currently being cross-referenced under the supervision of Garry Clark, P.Geo, who is consulting to the Company on this property.
Preliminary review of the geophysical data indicates a possible fault that cross-cuts the property in a NNW direction. This fault lies with the southern edge of a camp scale deformation zone. The Goldcorp Red Lake Mine and the Placer Dome Campbell mine are interpreted to be hosted within the northern edge of this deformation zone.
The Company would also like to extend an invitation to attendees of the 2004 Prospectors, & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference, located at the Metro Toronto Convention Center, Toronto, Ontario from March 7th through 10th, to drop by Solitaire's booth (number 2032) and view the available information on our properties.
