Pacton signs LOI to acquire Golden Palms property

PACTON ACQUIRES "GOLDEN PALMS" GROUND IN EGINA AREA, PILBARA

Pacton Gold Inc. has entered into a binding letter of intent (LOI) whereby it will acquire one tenement, the Golden Palms property measuring approximately seven kilometres by five km, 100 km southwest of Port Hedland, Australia. The property is strategically significant in that it extends Pacton's Friendly Creek project northward. It is also adjacent to Novo Resources Corp.'s tenement block that contains the basal Mount Roe contact over the underlying basement rocks of the Pilbara Well greenstone belt.

Recent prospecting on the property has resulted in the discovery of numerous gold nuggets in 10 locations dispersed throughout the tenement from various stratigraphic lithologies. The property, together with the company's adjacent Friendly Creek project, provides multiple types of gold targets indicated by the distribution and texture of individual nugget populations, the different observed host lithologies, depositional environments and possible structural concentration controls. The nuggets recovered from the initial reconnaissance program were collected over several different unassigned geological units and constitute a reconnaissance population that is being used to design the next exploration program to commence soon.

The nuggets and/or mineralization shown in images on the company's website are selected samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.

The property covers basalt-dominated rocks of the Pilbara Well greenstone belt. The belt is up to 8.6 km wide and forms a northeast-plunging fold over a strike length of 40 km. Sediments of the Mallina formation, with interbedded, differentiated mafic and ultramafic intrusives of the Millindinna intrusion and the Satirist gabbro, lie to the north of the greenstone belt. Granites of the East Pilbara granite-greenstone terrane sit to the south.

Historic gold mining near the property occurred in the late-1800s, producing gold from quartz veins and eluvial workings. Gold is reported to occur in veins in structures that are similar to Archean orogenic gold deposits, as well as in Fortescue group rocks. Interestingly, the company's new Golden Palms multiple locality nugget collection represents a new, extensive discovery. The government gold occurrences dataset does not indicate any known gold on the Golden Palms property.

The new nugget discoveries on the property indicate a different range of targets than are expected to occur on the company's nearby Arrow project. The Arrow project runs for 40 km from south to north along the nearby western boundary of Novo's large Egina area project. The southern part of the Arrow project contains multiple unassigned De Grey group units that correlate with mineralized areas on Novo's Egina project.

Most of the geological units on the Golden Palms property remain unassigned to known formations and will require further study. A combined geological and prospecting team is being assembled to explore the property, together with Pacton's Friendly Creek project, under the supervision of a geologist who is also responsible for conducting exploration on the nearby Arrow project.

Under the terms of the LOI, Pacton can purchase 100 per cent of the property by paying a total of $100,000 and issuing 400,000 common shares on completion of the transaction.
