King’s Bay Applies for Exploration Permit for Phase 2 Exploration on the Lynx Lake Project in Labrador

Vancouver BC. (FSCwire) - King’s Bay Gold Corporation (TSX.V: KBG) (FSE: KGB1), operating as “King’s Bay”, a mineral exploration company based in Vancouver submits application to Newfoundland and Labrador Government, Department of Natural Resources for the commencement of phase 2 of the exploration program in south eastern Labrador.

Phase 2 of the Lynx Lake exploration program will involve ground truthing for the recently flown VTEM survey, which highlighted an area of low resistivity in the western pit of mineralization. The size of the anomaly is anticipated to be ranging in depth from 50-300meters and estimated to be approximately 400 meters in diameter. The “west pit” has been historically sampled yielding assays of up to 1.03% Copper, 0.56% Cobalt, 0.23% Vanadium, 0.10% Nickel and 5.0g/t Silver.

The exploration program will consist of a localized ground electromagnetic survey over the anomaly at   20-meter line spacing.  It will also include reconnaissance for bedrock exposure in the underexplored anomalous area that runs south of the west pit.

About Lynx Lake

The Lynx lake Project has returned historical grab samples assaying up to 1.39% Cu, 0.94% Co, 0.21% Ni and 6.5g/t Ag. Government regional low resolution residual magnetic surveys and preliminary handheld electromagnetic unit surveys done by local prospectors have shown strong conductors beneath the overburden, and provide incentive to explore the area further for additional subsurface mineralization. The Project is located directly adjacent to a 3 phase powerline and the Trans-Labrador Highway.
