Vulcan Minerals drilled first hole at Carbonear zinc-lead project; work paused by weather, to resume in spring.
Vulcan Minerals has completed the first drill hole in a 1,200-meter program at its Carbonear zinc-lead project in eastern Newfoundland, but the effort was paused due to weather-related access issues and will resume in spring.
The project lies in a geologically favorable Precambrian sedimentary sequence known for SEDEX deposits.
A 12-kilometer-long magnetic trend, structural features, and strong zinc and lead anomalies—some exceeding 1,630 ppm lead and 628 ppm zinc—have been identified.
A ground gravity survey confirmed a positive anomaly, supporting the presence of dense mineralized bodies.
Exploration is now focused on a 2-kilometer segment of the anomalous zone, using integrated geophysical and geochemical data to guide future drilling.
