WCB Resources Ltd - Withdrawal from Maroon Project
TSX-V: WCB
VANCOUVER, March 28, 2012 /CNW/ - The Directors of WCB Resources Ltd ("WCB" or the "Company") (TSXV: WCB) advise that the Company has withdrawn from the Letter Agreement regarding the Maroon Project in British Columbia with Angel Jade Mines Ltd. Details of this agreement were previously announced on January 27, 2010.
Commenting on this, President and CEO Mr Cameron Switzer said "WCB continues to rank and evaluate our project portfolio in order to best determine the most prospective project to enhance stakeholder value via discovery. We have evaluated the Maroon Project via systematic channel sampling in combination with drill testing returning modest results. Our focus now is clearly on the recent Farm-In acquisition at Misima announced December 20, 2011. The Misima Project has the potential to be a transformational project for the company. We wish Angel Jade Mines Ltd the best with their endeavours on the Maroon Project."
About the Maroon Property
The 1059 hectare Maroon Property lies 35 kilometers north of Terrace, British Columbia. The historic exploration of the Maroon property, completed by several individuals and corporations over the last 90 years, has been successful in locating the Bear vein system, an 1800 metre auriferous, polymetallic vein system. Most of the historic effort has been directed toward the section of the Bear Vein system known as the Bear occurrence, which was developed by three adits and several surface pits and trenches. Two mineralized lenses have been identified within the Bear occurrence: the southwest lens and the northeast lens. WCB Resources evaluated the extensions of the 1800 metre long Bear Vein occurrence.
Work completed by WCB included the completion of trenching over the identified extensions of the vein system followed by 600m of drill testing in six holes. Information relating to this was released August 20, 2010. The results identified the extensions of the vein system.
