(TheNewswire)
Vancouver, B.C., August 20, 2024 – TheNewswire – Teuton Resources Corp. (TUO-TSX-V) ("Teuton") is pleased to announce significant new discoveries on their jointly-owned Ram property, located in the Golden Triangle region of northwestern British Columbia.
-
Discovery of a 400m long, mineralized porphyry intrusive, the “Malachite Porphyry Zone”
-
Identification of a second zone, the “Mitch Zone”, with pyrite and chalcopyrite
-
Property adjacent to Ascot Resources' Red Mountain project
-
Expanded exploration program planned
The Ram property is situated approximately 18 kilometers south-southeast of Stewart, B.C., and adjoins Ascot Resources' Red Mountain gold property. It lies 5km southeast of Goliath Gold’s Treasure Island prospect (currently being drilled). The Ram property has been jointly held by Teuton and Silver Grail for over 30 years but has seen limited exploration until now.

In the summer of 2024, a prospecting crew was deployed to examine areas of recent glacial retreat on the Ram property. This work has led to two significant discoveries:
-
Malachite Porphyry Zone: A 400m long outcrop of porphyritic rock (open to extension) was discovered in the northern portion of the property, south-southwest of Red Mountain. This zone exhibits:
-
Extensive malachite staining
-
Presence of chalcopyrite, pyrite, magnetite, and K-feldspar
-
Bismuth mineralization (identified by XRF)
-
-
Mitch Zone: Located south west of the Malachite Porphyry, this zone features:
-
En echelon stringers of coarse pyrite mineralization in sediments
-
Abundant veins and veinlets ranging from millimeters to 2-4 cm in width
-
Lesser areas of massive chalcopyrite veins up to 5 cm thick
-
Numerous grab samples and saw cuts have been taken from both zones and will be sent for assay.
Comment
Dino Cremonese, P.Eng., President and CEO of Teuton Resources, commented: "These new discoveries from retreating ice and snow are very encouraging. The Ram's mineralization shares similarities with neighbouring Red Mountain, which I staked in 1988 for a private company. As the original staker of Red Mountain, I conducted initial surveys that suggested upstream mineralization. This was confirmed by subsequent owners with the discovery hole yielding 9.88 g/t gold over 66 meters in the Marc Zone. Returning to this area of the Golden Triangle after 36 years is exciting, especially given our promising observations at the Ram."
A 2006 airborne VTEM survey previously conducted on the property revealed:
-
A discrete magnetic anomaly running north-south, coincident with the strike of the Mitch Zone mineralization
-
This anomaly forms the eastern edge of a larger, oval-shaped total magnetic anomaly, approximately 1km long on its NNW-SSE axis
Based on these promising findings, Teuton and Silver Grail are planning an expanded exploration program, which may include:
-
Additional sampling and geological mapping
-
An Induced Polarization (IP) survey
-
A diamond drilling program, contingent on results from the above activities

About Teuton
Teuton owns interests, including various net smelter royalties, in more than thirty properties in the prolific “Golden Triangle” area of northwest British Columbia and was one of the first companies to adopt what has since become known as the “prospect generator” model. This model minimizes share equity dilution while at the same time maximizing opportunity. Earnings provided from option payments (received in cash and often also in shares of the optionee companies), have generated considerable income for Teuton over the years.
