MillenMin Reports Drill Assay Results at Windpass Gold Property
TORONTO, Jan. 23, 2013 /CNW/ - MillenMin Ventures Inc. (TSX-V: MVM) ( " MillenMin " or the "Company") is pleased to report drill assay results from the 2012 drilling program (the "Drilling Program") recently completed on its Windpass gold property (the "Property") situated 10 Km east of Little Fort in Central British Columbia, Canada.
As previously described in MillenMin's news release on October 23, 2012, the Drilling Program consisted of 4 diamond drillholes (Wp12-2 to Wp12-7) totaling 910 meters designed to test the geophysical (magnetic and electro-magnetic) anomalies identified by earlier survey work. This drilling program was outlined in Phase I work program recommended by Norm Tribe, P. Eng., in his April 2012- NI43-101 report entitled "Windpass Gold Property Evaluation Report" which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The drilling results (at a cut-off grade of 0.50 g/t Au) are summarized in the following table. | ||||
From | To | Interval(1) | Gold Grade | |
Hole No. | ft (m) | ft (m) | ft (m) | (g/t Au) |
Wp12-2 | 810.0 (246.89) | 811.5 (247.35) | 1.5 (0.46) | 0.74 |
Wp12-4 | 208.0 (63.40) | 213.0 (64.92) | 5.0 (1.52) | 0.79 |
359.0 (109.42) | 361.0 (110.03) | 2.0 (0.61) | 2.95 | |
including | 360.0 (109.73) | 360.5 (109.88) | 0.5 (0.15) | 4.75 |
Wp12-5 | 37.0 (11.28) | 42.0 (12.80) | 5.0 (1.52) | 2.01 |
265.0 (80.77) | 270.0 (82.29) | 5.0 (1.52) | 3.34 | |
340.0 (103.63) | 345.0 (105.15) | 5.0 (1.52) | 0.58 | |
370.0 (112.78) | 375.0 (114.30) | 5.0 (1.52) | 1.30 | |
515.0 (156.97) | 520.0 (158.49) | 5.0 (1.52) | 1.17 | |
670.0 (204.22) | 680.0 (207.26) | 10.0 (3.04) | 1.18 | |
Wp12-7 | No intercepts, and no assay results | |||
(1) The intervals approximate true mineralization widths as the drillholes were drilled normal to the plane of the mineralization zones.
These results appear to indicate several intercepts of the vein structure-associated gold mineralization. The Company will review these results in conjunction with the existing data on the Property to decide on the next step for the Property.
The Company's CEO, Shunyi Yao, is pleased with the results of the 2012 drilling program at the Property. "The success of this program adds credence to the story that additional gold mineralization exists on the Property," he said.
The Drilling Program was supervised by Norm Tribe, P. Eng., a consultant to MillenMin and the qualified person as defined by NI 43-101. A total of 209 core samples were split and placed in sealed bags. The samples were taken from NQ core with one half sent to ALS Minerals in North Vancouver for assaying and the other half retained for future reference. ALS Minerals is an ISO 9001:2000 certified laboratory. All samples were assayed using industry-standard assay techniques for gold analyzed by a standard 30-gram fire assay with atomic absorption finish and/or Au screen metallic fire assay and 33 elements by ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrometry).
The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by John H. Paterson, M.Sc., P. Eng., a director of MillenMin, and the qualified person as defined by NI 43-101.
