ARCPACIFIC EXPANDS BLACKDOME PROPERTY SIZE AND REPORTS HISTORIC GOLD SAMPLES
Arcpacific Resources Corp. has acquired five additional mineral claims contiguous to the recently optioned Blackdome property located in the Clinton mining division, approximately 120 kilometres southwest of the city of Williams Lake. This significantly increases the total property size, which now covers 3,479 hectares.
The company is also pleased to provide an update in regard to the continuing data compilation program on the property. The property has been explored since the 1980s by individual prospectors and companies such as Inco Exploration; this work has resulted in the discovery of multiple mineralized zones, as outlined in an image on the company's website, but which have never been drilled. The historic exploration on the property indicates that the gold-silver mineralization is primarily hosted in quartz veins, of unknown width, subcropping over an area of approximately 1,300 by 700 metres. Quartz veins have typical low sulphidation, banded, vuggy, bladed and chalcedonic epithermal textures and assay up to 54.43 grams per tonne gold and 35 g/t silver.

The Blackdome property is underlined by Cretaceous Power Creek volcanics and sediments belonging to Taylor Creek. These two units were intruded by hornblende feldspar porphyries (HFP). Gold-silver mineralization identified in the Blackdome property appears to be associated with intrusions that possibly served as a conduit for the hydrothermal mineralization.
The next stage of exploration will concentrate on testing the known mineral occurrences through trenching, regional and property scale MT (magnetotellurics) geophysical survey, followed by drilling.
