Cadillac Announces Updated K1-1 Inferred Resource Estimate
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/14/12 -- Cadillac Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CDC) ("Cadillac" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that an update of the mineral resource estimate of the K1-1 deposit has been completed. The updated Inferred mineral resource at K1-1 has been estimated within an economically optimized Whittle pit shell and consists of: 53,614,000 tonnes grading 0.38% Cu, 0.10% Ni, 1.83 g/t Ag, 0.03 g/t Au, 0.05 g/t Pt, and 0.14 g/t Pd.
K1-1 Updated Inferred Mineral Resource Table
"Cadillac is extremely pleased with the results of the Winter 2011 drill program and the update to the Inferred mineral resource at K1-1. The Company will now evaluate overall development options for the Thierry Property." States Norman Brewster P.Geo, President and CEO of Cadillac.
Updated K1-1 Inferred Mineral Resource
The updated Inferred resource represents an increase of greater than 150% over the initial September 2011 Inferred resource and has been provided by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. of Brampton, Ontario. This increase in the inferred resource at K1-1 is due to several factors, including results from the 26 holes drilled by Cadillac in the Winter 2011 program, an increase in the trailing average metals prices since the last resource statement in September 2011, lowered operating costs at K1-1 which were derived from a conceptual combination of operations at the K1-1 open pit deposit and the Thierry underground deposit, and the inclusion of additional UMEX data not considered in Sept 2011.
An updated technical report will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days of this press release.
Global Mineralization Inventory
The K1-1 property consists of a global mineralized inventory of 75,857,000 tonnes grading 0.38% Cu, 0.10% Ni, 1.81g/t Ag, 0.02g/t Au, 0.05g/t Pt and 0.14g/t Pd.
The Global Mineralized Inventory is comprised of all of the presently known mineralization on the K1-1 Property, and includes the Inferred mineral resource within the Whittle pit shell disclosed above. The difference between the Global Mineralization Inventory and the Inferred Mineral Resource represents the mineralized material outside of the pit, which is not currently able to be included in the updated resource estimate.
Thierry Project Deposit Locations
To view a map of Figure 1 (Thierry Project Deposit Locations), please visit the following link:
The K1-1 project is located approximately 3 kms to the east of the Thierry Mine project, both being within the boundaries of the 11,538 acre Thierry property, occupying only a small portion of the property. This update of the K1-1 resource estimate will affect a future production decision at Thierry, as the close proximity of the deposits to each other allow cost efficiencies based upon the sharing of the infrastructure and processing plant capacity. Sharing of facilities between the deposits should enable Cadillac to realize lower production costs, and therefore process material of a lower grade than would be envisioned based upon either deposit operating independently of the other.
Mr. Brian H. Newton, P.Geo, of Billiken Management Services Inc., on behalf of the Company, and Mr. Eugene Puritch, P.Eng. of P&E Mining Consultants Inc. are "Qualified Persons" pursuant to NI 43-101 and have both reviewed and approved the contents of this press release.
