VULCAN MINERALS INC. COMPLETES DRILLING PROGRAM AT THE COLCHESTER
COPPER-GOLD PROJECT IN NEWFOUNDLAND
Vulcan Minerals Inc. has completed its preliminary round of drilling on the Old English zone of the
Colchester property in north-central Newfoundland. Four holes totalling 824 metres were drilled to
explore the possible extensions of historic drill intersections of copper and gold mineralization. As well, the holes will assist in calibrating the results from a recent high-resolution induced polarization
geophysical survey carried out on the property. Several zones of mineralization were encountered and
are being assayed, with results expected in January, 2017. Based on the variety of mineralization identified
from historic information and observed in the field, the company believes the property will require
systematic evaluation utilizing state-of-the-art geophysical technology and several rounds of drilling to
evaluate all the known areas of mineralization and new geophysical targets.
The Colchester property is owned 100 per cent by Vulcan and is accessible by paved road approximately 25
kilometres off the Trans-Canada Highway. The area is serviced by an airport at Deer Lake 110 kilometres
to the southwest. Please refer to the company's web page for location and geology maps.
The 2016 work program is eligible for financial assistance from the junior exploration assistance program
of the government of Newfoundland and Labrador.
