Omega Pacific Announces 2024 Work Program Results From Its Lekcin Property
Omega Pacific Resources has announced results from its 2024 field work program at the Lekcin Property, located 120 km east of Vancouver. The program, costing $124,924, included a UAV magnetic survey and rock sampling to identify ultramafic intrusives that could host Giant Mascot-style sulphide mineralization. The survey defined high magnetism areas in north, southeast, and southwest parts of the property. Rock sampling revealed ultramafic geochemistry in the northern area with high magnesium (16%), nickel (700 ppm), copper (100-200 ppm), cobalt (100 ppm), and chromium (1200-1500 ppm). The southeastern anomaly showed generally low values of nickel (<245 ppm) and copper (<72 ppm).

Il programma, che è costato $124,924, ha incluso un'indagine magnetica UAV e un campionamento delle rocce per identificare intrusivi ultramafici che potrebbero ospitare mineralizzazioni solfuree in stile Giant Mascot. L'indagine ha definito aree ad alta magnetismo nelle parti nord, sud-est e sud-ovest della proprietà. Il campionamento delle rocce ha rivelato una geochimica ultramafica nell'area settentrionale con alto contenuto di magnesio (16%), nichel (700 ppm), rame (100-200 ppm), cobalto (100 ppm) e cromo (1200-1500 ppm). L'anomalia sud-orientale ha mostrato valori generalmente bassi di nichel (<245 ppm) e rame (<72 ppm).

Le programme, d'un coût de 124 924 $, incluait une enquête magnétique par UAV et un échantillonnage de roches pour identifier des intrusions ultramafiques susceptibles d'héberger une minéralisation sulfureuse de type Giant Mascot. L'enquête a défini des zones à forte magnétisme dans les parties nord, sud-est et sud-ouest de la propriété. L'échantillonnage des roches a révélé une géochimie ultramafique dans la zone nord avec un fort taux de magnésium (16 %), de nickel (700 ppm), de cuivre (100-200 ppm), de cobalt (100 ppm) et de chrome (1200-1500 ppm). L'anomalie sud-est a montré des valeurs généralement faibles de nickel (<245 ppm) et de cuivre (<72 ppm).

- Property is adjacent to past-producing Giant Mascot nickel-copper mine
- Confirmation of ultramafic intrusion extension onto Lekcin Property
- Previous sampling at Big Nic showing returned 0.6-0.9% Ni and 0.8-4.4% Cu
- Low nickel and copper values in southeastern anomaly samples
- ground truthing completed due to budget and time constraints
- Northern magnetic anomaly showed mixed results with only some ultramafic presence
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2024 / Omega Pacific Resources Inc. (CSE:OMGA)(OTCQB:OMGPF)(FSE:Q0F) ("Omega Pacific" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from its field work program at its Lekcin Property, located 120 km east of Vancouver.
Background
The Lekcin Property (or the "Property") consists of six Mineral Titles Online (MTO) claims that are under option to the Company. These claims cover 2,521 hectares and are adjacent to the past-producing Giant Mascot nickel-copper mine that was intermittently active between the 1930's and 1973.
The Giant Mascot mine - which includes deposits named the Star of Emory and Pride of Emory (Figure 1) - was developed on an ultramafic intrusion that hosts at least 28 subvertical pipe-like orebodies that range from 6-75 metres in width and 15-350 metres in length. These orebodies consist of massive to disseminated pyrrhotite, pentlandite, and chalcopyrite with grades ranging from 0.5
Previous work on the Lekcin property has identified two nickel and copper showings in addition to several occurrences of ultramafic rock, which in all cases is the host rock for the target style of mineralization. The showings include Big Nic, where recent sampling includes four samples that returned 0.6
The 2024 work program on the Lekcin Property was designed to identify ultramafic intrusives that could potentially host Giant Mascot-style sulphide mineralization through an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) magnetic survey and follow-up prospecting. A total of
Methods for the 2024 Work Program
The 2024 work program was completed by Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd ("Equity") of Vancouver, BC, and involved a UAV magnetic survey, rock sampling, and geochemical assay.
UAV magnetics: This survey was sub-contracted to Dias Geophysical of Saskatoon, SK, who used 10 field days to fly 245 line-kilometres over the eastern half of the property.
Rock sampling: Results of the UAV magnetic survey were used to prioritize areas for traversing and rock sampling. Four ground traverses were completed, and 22 rock samples were collected for assay. Sample locations were marked with a handheld GPS and all samples were placed in poly-ethylene bags along with a unique sample tag. One blank and one standard (OREAS 85) were submitted with the 22 rock samples to monitor quality assurance and quality control (QAQC).
Geochemical assay: Sample preparation and assay was completed by Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd ("BV") in Vancouver, BC. At BV, samples were first crushed to ≥
70% passing 2 mm after which a 250-gram split was pulverized to ≥85% passing 75 microns (BV code PRP70-250). For multi-element analysis, a 0.25-gram split was dissolved in a multi-acid digestion and then analyzed by ICP-ES (code MA300). Precious metal (Au, Pt, Pd) analyses were completed on a 30-gram split through lead collection fire assay fusion and ICP-ES analysis (code FA330).
Results of the 2024 Work Program
The 2024 UAV magnetic survey defined areas of high magnetism in the north, southeast and southwest parts of the Property. Budget and time allowed only for the ground truthing of the north and southeast anomalies.
The three traverses completed over the northern magnetic anomaly resulted in collection of 14 samples, four of which were characterized as mafic-ultramafic, nine as diorite-granodiorite, and one as schist. These results suggest that the northern magnetic anomaly cannot be solely explained by the occurrence of mafic-ultramafic rocks at the surface.
Two of the mafic-ultramafic rocks collected in the north exhibit definitive ultramafic geochemistry that includes high magnesium (
Eight rocks were collected from a single traverse over the southeastern anomaly, six of which are mafic-ultramafic in composition along with one diorite and one schist. These results suggest that the southeastern magnetic anomaly may reflect a cluster of stock-like mafic (±ultramafic?) intrusions. All samples of mafic rock returned generally low values of nickel (<245 ppm) and copper (<72 ppm).
Together, results of the 2024 work program indicate that magnetic highs on the Lekcin Property can correlate with either mafic-ultramafic or granodiorite-diorite but is still, likely, a useful method for delineating those parts of the Property most prospective for hosting a near surface mafic-ultramafic intrusion of sufficient size to host Giant Mascot-style sulphide mineralization.

The green squares indicate rock samples that were described and have geochemical characteristics consistent with gabbroic to ultramafic rocks, which are the host rocks for the Star of Emory and Pride of Emory Ni-Cu sulphide deposits located just north of the property.
