BCGold has earned a 51% interest in the Sickle-Sofia Property, in the Toodoggone district in north-central British Columbia, by way of an option agreement with Stealth Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: SML).
The Sickle-Sophia Property is located just north of the Kemess South Mine, situated approximately 400 kilometres north of Mackenzie, British Columbia. The Toodoggone district has excellent mineral exploration potential; it hosts a number of developed and undeveloped epithermal gold-silver and porphyry copper-gold deposits, as well as Northgate Minerals' 50,000 tonne per day Kemess South mine. The Kemess South mine is one of B.C.'s larger porphyry copper-gold deposits and is one of Canada's largest mines by throughput.
In 2007 BCGold completed a $1.3 million, 1,500 metre exploration drilling and geophysical program on the Sickle-Sofia Property, resulting in a significant porphyry copper-gold discovery at the Sofia Zone. Drill hole BCG07-01 intersected 47.0 metres that averaged 0.13% copper and 0.08 g/t gold. Drill hole BCG07-03 was drilled 2.6 kilometres to the south and intersected significant low-grade, high-sulphidation gold mineralization at the Alexandra Zone.
