Extensive diamond drill program in progress on the Cline
Lake gold mine property near Wawa, Ontario at depths
never before drilled there (below 2,000 feet vertical).
Zone at 1,400 feet 0.186 opt gold over 25.9 feet
including 0.773 opt over 4.3 feet; second zone at 1,460
feet 0.250 opt gold over 6.6 feet; numerous
intersections include 0.105 opt gold over 52.2 feet;
0.530 opt over 8.5 feet at a of 700 feet; 2.173 opt gold
over 2.3 feet at 1,700 feet. These wide spaced deep
intercept’s showing higher grades and core lengths are
very encouraging as to increasing commercial potential
in depth and strike length. Four mine shafts on the
property, deepest to 1165 feet with eight development
headings.
 
The Company is carrying out an extensive diamond drill
program on its Cline Lake gold mine property located in
the Wawa gold camp in Ontario, Canada. There are four
mine shafts on the Cline Lake property, the deepest
going to 1165 feet. Phase I of the drill program has
been completed; Phase II is in progress.
Assay results from all sixteen holes of Phase I of the
drill program have now all been received from Swastika
Laboratories Ltd. of Swastika, Ontario. Results for the
initial holes up to and including CL 07-9 were reported
in previous news releases. A summary of the most
important gold intersections encountered in the complete
16 hole Phase I program, including the additional
results of the last six holes CL07-10 to CL07-15, is
included here.
As a result of a recent technical review by Mr. Hendrick
of the full Phase I project assay results, he notes that
in hole CL 07-8 on section 2400E, infill sampling has
extended a zone at 1,400 feet vertical depth that
averages 0.186 opt gold over 25.9 feet (core length)
including 0.773 opt over 4.3 feet. At 1,460 feet
vertical
depth, a second zone assayed 0.250 opt gold over 6.6
feet (core length). Hole CL 07-2 on section 3500E,
returned numerous intersections highlighted by 0.105 opt
gold over 52.2 feet (core length) including 0.530
opt over 8.5 feet at a vertical depth of 700 feet. A
value of 2.173 opt gold over 2.3 feet was returned at a
vertical depth of 1,700 feet. These wide spaced deep
intercept’s showing higher grades and core lengths are
very encouraging as to increasing commercial potential
in depth and strike length.
Mr. Hendrick reports that approximately 30,000 feet of
BQ sized core has been logged and sampled in the
Phase I program. North to south drill fences have been
completed from west to east across the property on
six sections located at 500, 1500, 2400, 3500, 4600, and
5500 E. The drill program was designed to define the
geological, structural and mineralizing environment
beneath the old historical shallow mine workings at
depths never before drilled on the property (below 2,000
feet vertical).
Four shafts were sunk on the Cline Lake gold property in
the early 1930’s and according to information
published in the Canadian Mines Handbook the Cline Mine
produced 332,670 tons at a recovered grade of
0.215 opt gold, with production coming from mine
workings between surface and 500 feet vertical depth.
The property is underlain by east-west trending, steeply
dipping, mafic volcanics that are interlayered almost
conformably with sills or dykes of felsite “quartz-eye”
porphyry hosting sulphide and gold mineralized quartz
veining. A major regional structural event, the
Edwards/Cline Shear, dips 60-70 degrees north and runs
west
to east across the south of the property, and appears to
be one controlling factor that localizes quartzsulphide-gold mineralization within the porphyries and volcanics.
A second major structure, a shear/alteration zone,
associated with the porphyry appears to dip steeply
south and runs east-west across the northern portion of
the property. Quartz-sulphide – gold mineralization is
localized within the shear structure
which appears to have been extended to approximately
3,200 feet on strike during the recent drill program.
Visible “free” gold is seen frequently in the
mineralized zones that have been intersected in this 16
hole
program to vertical depths of 1700 feet.
In view of the results of the Phase I program, Mr.
Hendrick, has recommended that the company now carry
out additional deep drilling to test the area under
holes CL 07-8 and CL 07-2 on sections 2400E and 3500E
respectively. This additional drilling would amount to
6,400 feet at an all-in cost of approximately
$300,000.00. The Company has commenced this recommended
new drilling program.
Mr. Dale Hendrick P.Eng, a Qualified Person for the
purpose of Canadian National Instrument 43-101, has
reviewed the full Phase I project assay results. He
notes that in hole CL 07-8 on section 2400E, infill
sampling has extended a zone at 1,400 feet vertical
depth that averages 0.186 opt gold over 25.9 feet (core
length) including 0.773 opt over 4.3 feet. At 1,460 feet
vertical depth, a second zone assayed 0.250 opt gold
over 6.6 feet (core length). Hole CL 07-2 on section
3500E, returned numerous intersections highlighted by
0.105 opt gold over 52.2 feet (core length) including
0.530 opt over 8.5 feet at a vertical depth of 700 feet.
A value of 2.173 opt gold over 2.3 feet was returned at
a vertical depth of 1,700 feet. These wide spaced deep
intercept’s showing higher grades and core lengths are
very encouraging as to increasing commercial potential
