Skyline Provides Sampling Results and Exploration Update
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/11/12 -- Skyline Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE: SK) ("Skyline" or the "Company") is pleased to release the final results of the 2011 exploration surface sampling program from the Iskut Property and an exploration update.
Detailed prospecting along the Snip-Bronson Trend was completed late in the 2011 exploration season as part of a geophysical ground-truthing program. Assay results of these samples include a block chip sample that assayed up to 5.03 gold grams per tonne ("Au g/t") and 398 silver grams per tonne ("Ag g/t"). A total of seven samples were collected and their assays are summarized in Table 1. The attached map shows the location of these newly discovered occurrences.
The objective of this detailed prospecting effort was to ground-truth weak conductive responses located by an airborne electro-magnetic ("EM") survey flown in September 2011. The EM responses selected for validation were coincident and on strike with the Snip Mine structure. The prospecting was further aided by a detailed very low frequency ("VLF") ground geophysical survey.
The VLF survey was completed over the axis of the EM anomalies and any response was hand trenched to locate the underling bedrock. This focused prospecting effort lead to the discovery of the Mary-Ann, Leam and David Arthur occurrences. The attached map displays the 90 metre strike length investigated in this program.
Mr. Zbeetnoff, CEO, comments, "I am very pleased that we are able to confirm that the EM surveys are capable of locating Snip-style mineralization. The effective use of the EM surveys will greatly assist our exploration crews to vector-in to high-grade gold mineralization."
Exploration Update:
The assay results for the 2011 drill program have been received and the mineralized intervals are being interpreted in conjunction with both the airborne EM and the borehole pulse electro-magnetic ("BPEM") geophysical survey data. The interpreted results for all three drill holes will be released next week.
The Skyline exploration team is in the early stages of planning an aggressive 2012 exploration program with work expected to start as early as March this year. The Company invites all interested parties to have an early introduction to the work planned by visiting the Skyline booth at the Cambridge Conference in Vancouver, booth number 2031. The Cambridge Conference will be held at Vancouver Convention Centre on January 22nd and 23rd, 2012.
