CADILLAC INCREASES SIZE OF THE "TIN HILL" MINERALIZED TIN, TUNGSTEN OCCURRENCE IN NEW BRUNSWICK
Cadillac Ventures Inc. has completed a geological prospecting program over the Tin Hill area of its Burnt Hill property in New Brunswick. The program investigated a 2.50-kilometre by 1.5-kilometre area centred on the exposed Tin Hill tin, tungsten mineralization. Within the area numerous new showings were located which demonstrated pervasive tin mineralization accompanied by tungsten. These findings significantly increase the domain of mineralization at Tin Hill. Samples were obtained at these locations and delivered to ALS in Moncton for analysis. Results will be released as they become available.
Due to the visual nature of the tin mineralization encountered in this program Cadillac has staked an additional 18 claims in order to fully encompass the now enlarged mineralized area and potential strike extensions.
Mineralization occurs in quartz veins ranging in size up to several metres wide, greisen zones and greise-encased quartz-filled fractures associated with what is believed to be the fluid enriched apical portion (Tin Hill) of a cupola associated with the Burnt Hill pluton. Efforts were made to locate the granite/sediment contact surrounding Tin Hill, all features outlined above along with associated mineralization occur within the contact area. Numerous samples of mineralized material and non-mineralized rock were acquired for thin section analysis and description for mineral and rock identification purposes, this work will be carried out by Martin Demers, geo.
About Burnt Hill
The Burnt Hill property, discovered in 1869 by the Geological Survey of Canada, covers 3,395 hectares of ground in central New Brunswick and hosts molybdenite, tungsten and tin mineralization. In addition to this Cadillac has carried out the first evaluation of the rare earth elements present at Burnt Hill. The Burnt Hill property encompasses several areas of interest, including the Burnt Hill mine, and has a large amount of unexplored but highly prospective ground. The Burnt Hill mine has a shaft and a decline in place and was operated to the pilot plant stage in the 1980s, where it was proven that the tungsten mineralization, at the time the only focus of operations, could be concentrated using photometric sorting technology, ahead of processing, to discard the waste rock.
