The Yeehaw Titanium (Ti)/Rare Earth Element (REE) exploration prospect is located in the Monashee Mountains in the Trail Creek Mining Division in South Central British Columbia.
Our strategy for Titanium (Ti) and Rare Earth Element (REE) exploration
The Yeehaw Titanium (Ti)/Rare Earth Element (REE) exploration prospect is located in the Monashee Mountains in the Trail Creek Mining Division in South Central British Columbia. The property comprises three Provincially granted Crown mining claims, covering 4,079 acres (1650 hectares). It was originally staked to cover a moderate amplitude tantalum (Ta) and rare earth element (REE) in stream sediment anomaly. This claim block is situated in the Eocene Coryell Batholith. It is thought the anomaly may arise from either carbonatite or pegmatite type deposits.
The Company conducted a helicopter borne bio-geochemical survey on the property in June 2017, that returned somewhat anomalous results. This was followed by a geological and geochemical examination of the Yeehaw property and additional work of a similar nature later that year, and again in Q2 the following year. These examinations uncovered a zone roughly 30 meters wide which included a mineralized interval that is approximately 0.075% total rare earth elements (TREE’s), and 0.9% Titanium (Ti).
While markedly anomalous, it is not exceedingly enriched in TREE’s, however this zone may not be the “main event” in the area but a harbinger of bigger and better things. The Ti could possibly be in the form of Perovskite, a mineral of considerable interest for the next generation of photo-voltaic cells. Spring 2018 fieldwork resulted in the discovery of a second nearby similarly mineralized structure. Follow-up work in subsequent years has determined that similar mineralization exists on the western side of the ridge here, demonstrating that there is a possibility the host rock may extend for several kilometres along strike.
