GMV Minerals Inc. Resumes Drilling in Guyana
VANCOUVER, March 1, 2012 /CNW/ - GMV Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "GMV") (TSX-V: GMV) today announces that drilling has commenced on new targets defined by the recent geophysical survey [see Press Release dated February 7, 2012]. The first planned drill hole is currently at 245 meters and has intercepted an acidic intrusive similar to other intrusive rocks associated with gold mineralization at other important deposits in Guyana such as Omai (3.8M ozs Au production through 2006). The intrusive is in sharp contact with a sedimentary horizon which is considered to be a good host for gold mineralization. The first core samples have been received at Acme Labs processing facility in Georgetown. A second drill pad and access road has been completed. Assays from samples just submitted from the current drill hole are expected to be reported more expeditiously than last year and the results will be announced once they have been received and reviewed by management.
Drilling is planned to examine both north and south extensions of the late 2011 drill grid on targets that were outlined by the recent geophysical survey. The first hole is centered on a resistivity high/low contact centered over a 200m-wide chargeability high southwest of the original grid. This hole was planned but never completed last year and the recent survey reinforces the importance of a drill test at this location. The second planned hole is northeast of the grid centered on a chargeability high, and will extend at depth into a high/low resistivity contact. The contrast in the chargeability response may indicate a significant rock type change with more intense silicification, associated with gold mineralization in the Guiana Shield of northeastern South America.
