Pacific Comox is focused on the exploration of the
Ryan Lake copper-molybdenum claims at Matchewan, south
of Timmins in Northern Ontario, and the Mabel gold/silver
property in northern Sonora State Mexico.
Ryan Lake: Diamond drilling by Pacific Comox has
outlined the potential for two copper-molybdenum open pits on a
mineralized north-south trend about 2,000 feet long.
The first pit, at the south end of the trend
encompasses the area of the former underground copper-molybdenum
mine which was in production at 150 tons/day during the
1950-1957 period. In addition to the encouraging historical
exploration results, evidence of the potential is illustrated by
the results of Comox’s
five
diamond drill holes reported on September 19, 2005
including two holes on Section 10073E. Mineralization on this
Section averaged 8.8 lbs/ton (0.44%) copper and 0.54 lbs/ton
(0.027%) molybdenum over 110 feet.
The second pit is the former producing molybdenum
open-pit, located 1,000 feet north of the first pit. To-date,
six of the eight holes drilled by Comox in the area of this pit
returned a near surface zone of higher grade molybdenum with an
average of 2.0 lbs/ton (0.10%) molybdenum & 2.7 lbs/ton (0.14%)
copper over an average length of 47 feet and starts at 15 feet
from surface.
In addition to the encouraging exploration results
to-date and the considerable exploration potential
the currently operating barite mill
on the property, and the other infrastructure should be a
major advantage in advancing the property. The mill has crushing
and grinding capacity of several hundred tons per day.
Mabel: Comox has outlined 6 areas of drill intersected
mineralization (141 RC holes drilled). Two areas are summarized
below:
-
in one of Carmelitas areas 15 holes
returned 2 g/t gold and 68 g/t silver over average
intersections of 3 meters, and encompass an area 210
meters north-south and 260 meters east-west,
-
in the Gate Zone, 14 holes returned
1.3 g/t gold and 70 g/t silver over an average interval
of 4.1 meters, and encompass an area 600 meters
north-south and 300 meters east-west.
A map of the Mabel property outlining the areas
drilled is given at

the Gate-1910 Zone and the Micho Zone where the new copper
intersections were reported are given at
