GOLD BULLION REPORTS 6,476 G/T AG OVER 3.09M AT CASTLE SILVER MINE, GOWGANDA
Gold Bullion Development Corp. has completed 6,842 metres in 12 holes
of diamond drilling in its first drill campaign on the Castle silver
property historic past-producing silver mine property located 85
kilometres northwest of the historic silver camp in Cobalt, Ont.
Numerous strong calcite veins and vein systems were drilled, and many of
these were independent of the existing mine workings. The best silver
intersection encountered is a 3.09-metre (10.138-foot) weighted interval of
6,476 grams per tonne (g/t) Ag (188.80 ounces per ton Ag) in hole CA11-08 from 563.54 to 566.63 metres
including a 0.45-metre (1.476-foot) interval of 40,944 g/t Ag (1,193.70
ounces per ton Ag) in a calcite-Co-Ag vein (not true width). Leaf silver was
common in the wall rock in the reported interval.
Gold Bullion's NQ drill program and drill core sampling, including the
quality assurance/quality control program, are supervised by D.
Robinson, PEng, and project geologist. Core from this drill campaign
was sent to Accurassay Laboratory in Timmins, Ont., for sample
preparation and to its Thunder Bay laboratory for analysis. Silver
was assayed by fire assay with AA check with additional pulp and
metallics analysis done on samples where significant silver was
identified. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the
analysis of reagent blanks and reference materials at the lab. Quality
control is further assured by the insertion of blind certified standard
reference material and blanks into the sample stream at regular
intervals by the geologist on-site in order to independently assess
analytical accuracy.
Five holes crossed the complete stratigraphic section of the shallow-dipping Nipissing diabase fulfilling one of the program objectives to
define the entire thickness of the diabase and detailed internal
stratigraphy. The apparent thickness varied from 230 metres to 365 metres. The
Nipissing diabase is considered the primary feature controlling the
emplacement of silver deposits.
The recently completed exploration program consisted of an orientation
IP (induced polarization) geophysical survey and 12 diamond drill holes (6,842 metres) designed to
test various targets including four IP targets as well as identify low-angle faults in proximity to the diabase. Using geophysics to detect
silver prospects has long been attempted but has proven difficult due
to silver being a perfect conductor. The success of this program has
led to the recommendation of follow-up down-the-hole EM (electromagnetic) and IP
geophysical surveys and further diamond drilling in several locations
based on interesting findings.
Gold Bullion is extremely happy with the results of this drill campaign
and is eagerly anticipating the next phase of exploration.
We seek Safe Harbor.
