PR Newswire (Canada)
Highlights: -- Three large magnetite outcrops, the largest
measuring 500 metres by 600metres were identified in the west of
the 128 claims located about 40km northwest of Kangirsuk and 1,647
kilometres north of Montreal, Quebec. -- 25 samples were taken and
values were recorded on the "Magnetite" Scale of a KT-10 Plus
magnetitic susceptibility meter. -- The samples will be assayed and
a ground based magnetic survey planned as follow up. TSX-V: AWS
VANCOUVER, July 27, 2012 /CNW/ - Robert L. Card, President of
Arrowstar Resources Ltd., ("Arrowstar" or the "Company") , is
pleased to report that Phillip Thomas, Vice -President Exploration
and Director visited the property on 14 June 2012 and was able to
locate three large outcrops of shallow dipping granodiorites, and
carbonates containing magnetite and hematite. The
chert-magnetite-hematite iron formation contains specularite an
altered magnetite mineral. Significant outcrop and float is exposed
on the surface with no trees and very little overburden.
There are numerous small lakes in the area. The general
stratigraphic sequence observed is composed of an Archean age
granite gneiss basement; unconformably overlying the granite gneiss
is a succession of meta-sedimentary rocks. Immediately overlying
the granite gneiss in some areas is quartzite of the Ford Lake
Formation. The quartzite contains surface expressions of magnetite
and lenses or pods of mica schist. The quartzite grades upward into
the Sokoman Iron Formation. The iron formation may be further
subdivided based on variations in magnetite, hematite, carbonate
and iron silicates. A conspicuous spotted iron
silicate-carbonate-quartz bed that caps the iron formation was
identified at site two. Micaceous schist and slate that are
intruded by gabbro sills overlie the Sokoman iron formation. This
was identified as outcrop and float predominately in outcrop three.
Strong folding has resulted in a structural influence on the iron
formation. Thrusting and recumbent folding of the iron formation in
several areas has led to limb thickening, thinning, and doubling up
of the mineralized horizons in some locations. The known deposits
or more prospective areas on the property are those areas where the
iron formation has been deformed and is now flat-lying, or slightly
dipping with a strike to the NNE and dipping about 15 degrees, and
raised above the surrounding non-mineralized rocks, deformed into
anticlines or synclines, doubled up or otherwise thickened.
Concentrating ores are typically composed of magnetite and or
hematite and silicate minerals at relatively low grades (20-30% Fe)
that require grinding to liberate magnetite and/or hematite from
the silicate minerals. Magnetite is concentrated by magnetic
methods and hematite is concentrated by gravity or flotation
methods. The value of concentrating ores is determined by a
combination of Fe grade and ease of liberation. For example, a
lower Fe grade ore may have a higher value than a higher Fe grade
ore if it liberates at a coarser grind enabling greater throughput
with lower grinding costs. Samples have been sent for assay and
will be reported when available. Phillip Thomas, BSc, MBus, MAIG, a
