In 2004, the All Alone Dome target area, defined by a coincident and open-ended 500 metre by 500 metre geophysical (induced polarization) and copper geochemical anomaly, was tested by three drillholes (04-71 to 73) spaced 250 to 300 metres apart. This wide-spaced first pass test discovered previously unknown mineralization in two of the holes (04-71: 0.13 per cent copper over 12.08 metres; 04-72: 0.11 per cent copper over 13.07 metres; Press Release, Eastfield Resources Ltd., October 21, 2004). These intercepts, with chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization similar to the Lorraine zones, are interpreted to represent mineralization along the fringes of the main mineralizing intrusive system.

Typical mineralization in the Lorraine-Jajay zones comprises disseminated chalcopyrite and lesser bornite in syenitic and biotite pyroxenite phases of the Middle Jurassic Duckling Creek Syenite Complex of the Hogem Intrusive Suite. See the Lorraine (MINFILE 093N 002) occurrence for further details.

Three holes (04-71, 72, 73) were completed in the All Alone Dome in 2004, which was marked by a 500 metre by 500 metre induced polarization chargeability anomaly that had resulted from a geophysical survey carried out by Eastfield in 2002. All three holes intersected short intervals of sub-economic mineralization. This was the first mineralization identified in this outcrop-poor and unexplored area and the potential for discovery is considered to be good. Soil sampling in 2006 outlined a significant untested copper-gold soil anomaly on the flank of All Alone Dome that represents a possible northwest extension of the Lower Main zone. This soil grid appears to have been placed just south and east of the 2004 drilling, centring over the area of highest relief. All Alone Dome was mapped at 1:1000 scale in 2006. The area is along strike from the southwest-dipping alteration panels through the Lorraine Main area. The isolated dome has limited ridge-crest outcrop and talus along the upper flanks. Variably altered pyroxenite underlies All Alone Dome, cut by northwest, east and northeast high-angle faults. Northeast-trending leucosyenite dikes cut pyroxenite. Alteration sequence on All Alone Dome follows the sequence defined in the Lorraine Main area.

See the Lorraine occurrence (MINFILE 093N 002) for further details.

Work History

In 2002, Eastfield Resources Ltd. tested chargeability along three induced polarization lines in the All Alone Dome region and noted moderate chargeability increasing with depth.

In 2004, Eastfield Resources Ltd. completed three diamond drill holes in the All Alone Dome area.

In 2005, Eastfield Resources Ltd. conducted a diamond drilling report on adjacent mineral claims of the Lorraine-Jajay property.

In 2007, Teck Resources Limited carried out an induced polarization geophysical program on a number of sites within the Lorraine-Jajay property. The All Alone Dome North area was found to coincide with a zone of high chargeability comparable to mineralization in the Bishop zone.

In 2008, Teck Resources Limited conducted drilling 300 metres north of the All Alone Dome occurrence; one drillhole (L08-15) assayed 0.10 per cent copper over 20.7 metres (Assessment Report 30584).
