Canoe Mining Commences Drill Program on Iron Lake Project
OAKVILLE, ON, May 22, 2014 /CNW/ - Canoe Mining Ventures Corp. (TSXV: CLV) ("Canoe Mining") is pleased to announce that a 10 hole, 1250m, drill program will commence immediately on its 100% owned Iron Lake Gold Project (the "Property"), near White River, Ontario. The Property is located within the western section of the Mishibishu Greenstone belt which is known for gold production and contains multiple operating mines. Canoe Mining's drill program will be focused on the Iron Lake Deformation Zone, which spans the entire Property and will specifically target IP anomalies detected by Giyani Gold Corp. in 2012 near historic gold showings discovered by Tundra Gold Mines Ltd. ("Tundra") in 1988.
The Contact Zone that Canoe Mining is intending to expand was originally discovered by Tundra on the Abbie Lake section of the Property and contained five gold intersections in 3 adjacent drill holes including:
- K88-36
- 17.15 g/tonne Au over 1.37m
- K88-37
- 12.00 g/tonne Au over 0.91m
- 3.77 g/tonne Au over 0.67m
- K88-49
- 2.00 g/tonne Au over 1.50m
- 5.48 g/tonne Au over 1.50m
- Or, 3.74 g/tonne over 3.00m both combined
R.S. Middleton, P.Eng, Canoe Mining's Exploration Manager, stated: "This drill program is designed to test a number of gold zones that are known to occur on the Abbie Lake section of our Property. The geology which we're drilling hosts a nearby quartz-eye porphyry system which is near-identical to the systems which are associated with major gold mines in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt."
The core will be logged at a secure facility in White River and will be split and sent for assay preparation in Thunder Bay. Assay results will be released when available.
The technical information in this news release was reviewed and approved by R.S. Middleton, P.Eng. who is acting as the Qualified Person for Canoe Mining pursuant to National Instrument 43-101.
On Behalf of the Board of Directors of Canoe Mining,
