Black Mammoth Metals Stakes Claims and Samples Copper and Gold at Big Bear, Northern Star and Zulu Properties, AZ
BMM: TSX-V
Big Bear:
The Big Bear property is in
The historic drill roads and pads at Big Bear still exist exposing outcrops of copper oxide mineralization. Within the mineralized area at surface, the Company sampled outcrops at the highest elevation as well as downslope in an attempt to understand the vertical extent of the surface mineralization referred to in historical reports and other data. The vertical extent of the samples is 74m (see Table 1 and Figure 1). The widths of the surface mineralization have not been fully verified by the Company and the true width of the surface mineralized zone is also unknown.
The Company's intended exploration plan at Big Bear includes an induced polarization (IP) survey to try to locate the primary sulphide mineralization as well as to drill confirm and expand the known historic oxide mineralized area.
Zulu:
The Zulu property is located 8 kms to the east off the same access road as the Big Bear and hosts the historical high-grade Zulu underground gold mine. The vein strikes northwesterly across the property for 1,200m and is traceable by following mineralized outcrops. It is closely associated with a porphyry dike that is hosted in a larger diorite intrusive body. An outcropping gold mineralized vein structure was sampled by the Company (See Table 2 – Sample Z03, 1.8 g/t Au).
There are additional mineralized structures on the property and property-wide exploration is warranted. The Company's geologists are gathering additional data for the property to assist in preparing an exploration plan.
Bedrock geology in the project area is primarily a Pre-Cambrian gneiss unit that has been intruded by a Cretaceous intermediate porphyry as well as much younger Tertiary age andesite dikes. Overlying the gneiss is a heavily silicified Permian age limestone unit. Numerous copper mineralized faults are present which have a consistent easterly dip.
Exploration plans are presently being formulated that may include drilling a fence of shallow drill holes to test the downdip continuance of oxide copper mineralization and to target potential deeper sulphide mineralization associated with the faults.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control:
All sampling is conducted under the supervision of the Company's project geologists and the samples are taken to the
The ALS PREP-31 package is utilized for sample preparation. In this package, each sample is crushed to better than 70%, passing 2mm, then a 250-gram riffle split is then taken. This split is pulverized to a target of 85% passing 75microns; and a 30-gram portion of this pulverized split is digested by Four Acids and analyzed for gold by the Au-ICP 21 method, which is a Fire Assay, with an ICP-AES (Induced Coupled Plasma) finish. A 41-element suite is also run on the sample using the ALS ME-MS 41 multielement package. This method utilizes Aqua regia digestion followed by low detection ICP-MS (Induced Coupled Plasma) finish. Overlimit copper samples were processed using ALS' OG46 Aqua Regia digestion followed by titration analysis.
