Mining’s old guard needs strong medicine
A new report details subpar investor returns in the mining industry over the last decade, particularly big cap diversified companies which have not adapted to new realities.
Jaxon Mining of Vancouver has discovered high grade antimony-silver mineralization on its flagship Red Springs (Hazelton) property in the northwest region of the province.
Assays from the 2018 surface sampling and geological mapping program contained up to 5% antimony, 302 g/t silver, 2.94% zinc and 1.70% lead. These samples came from an area of more than 500 metres long and 200 metres wide.
Jaxon is designing a multi-disciplinary exploration program to map the sources of the mineralization and extend the antimony-silver discovery area. A drilling program is planned to test the porphyries that the company has modeled as the source of the antimony-silver and gold-cobalt tourmaline mineralized breccia zones.
