PACTON GOLD HIGH RESOLUTION SURVEY IDENTIFIES MULTIPLE AREAS OF INTEREST IN RED LAKE, ONTARIO

Pacton Gold Inc. has completed a high-resolution airborne magnetic survey at Pacton's Red Lake property in Ontario. A total of 2,957 line kilometres at a 50-metre line spacing was flown by Prospectair of Gatineau, Que. Initial survey results indicate multiple areas of interest in the form of prominent linear structures containing small-scale to large-scale folding and faulting. This type of geological structure has the potential to host high-grade gold mineralization, as proved by mineralized zones elsewhere on Pacton's land package as well as major gold deposits in the Red Lake district.

Next phase of exploration work

With the survey complete, the company is set to begin an initial field exploration program. This will include following up on historical sampling, gold showings, trenching and diamond drilling, along with the geophysical survey and soil sampling. The follow-up ground program will assist with the identification of D2 structures, mafic contacts and folds as identified by the magnetic survey. The combination of mafic-to-felsic contacts on Pacton's main Red Lake property and on the adjoining Dixie Lake project to the southeast are obvious exploration priorities. Drilling of multiple priority targets is anticipated to begin late summer.

Dale Ginn, executive chairman, commented: "The recent significant exploration success near Pacton's Red Lake project was achieved by focusing on specific geological structures that include high-iron mafic rocks and D2-related folding and faulting. Our recent survey has successfully established the presence of all these components at our project and identified their locations. We are now in a position to commence targeted field exploration activity that will culminate in a drill program."

Further survey details

The central-west area of the property, mapped as basalt, demonstrates numerous east-west D2 fault structures that appear to be axial planar to repetitive folding. Historical trench and surface sample results from the Boyden Lake showings appear to lie along an east-west D2 fault that bisects folding to the west, within or near mapped basalt units. Limited geochemical data are available; however, MNDM lake sediment sampling in the area plot as basalts, and geochemistry plots of the Confederation Assemblage units do exhibit the presence of high-iron tholeiite basalt. Within the Confederation units, Pacton will prioritize targets that exhibit the confluence of high-iron basalts, D2 faulting through folding, and historical sampling and workings. Exploration within the Balmer units of Pacton's landholdings, primarily concentrated on the northeastern quadrant bordering Newmont, will focus on similar settings having already been established by the nearby extensive gold production.

The company has also entered into an option agreement to acquire 100-per-cent ownership of additional mineral claims in the Red Lake district in Ontario. The claims are located south of Great Bear Resources' Dixie project along the Pakwash fault. The company can earn a 100-per-cent interest in the property by paying a total of $90,000 and issuing an aggregate of 250,000 common shares over a two-year period.

The transaction is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
