Olympic Resources Ltd. Announces 2011 Work Program Results on the MAX Property, Yukon
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/01/12 -- Olympic Resources (TSX VENTURE: OLA) and YES Exploration Syndicate announce results of the work program conducted in September and October of 2011 (the "Program") on the 3,931 hectare MAX Property (the "Property"), situated on the northern rim of the Carmacks Caldera, a newly discovered 60km x 100km volcanic related subsidence structure formed in the late Cretaceous period and visible in Landsat images. The central part of the caldera is a low-lying unglaciated area of the Yukon Plateau.
The Property is situated approximately 10 km west of the high grade Mt. Nansen gold-silver mine (556,500 tonnes grading 11.93 g/t gold and 211 g/t silver). Whitehorse, the regional center for supplies and personnel, is located 198 km southwest of the Property.
The principal targets on the Property are epithermal gold-silver and/or porphyry copper-gold deposits. Historic work conducted by Kerr Addison Mines Ltd. from 1984 - 1987 identified VLF-EM structures and quartz stringers in altered rhyolite porphyry with rock samples returning less than 0.005 to 1.65 ppm gold.
2011 Program Highlights
Additional work for the property is planned for the 2012 exploration season. The objective of the recommended work programs is to outline potentially economic gold mineralization on the Property.
The recommended programs have been divided into Phase 1 and Phase 2 work. Phase 1 work consists of continued soil sampling, geological mapping, and a geophysical ground magnetic survey. The estimated cost is $510,000.
Phase 2 work is contingent upon Phase 1 work identifying suitable targets. Work would include, trenching, shallow drilling, a geophysical IP survey, and diamond drilling to test targets at depth. The estimated cost is $1,160,000.
Edward D. Harrington, B.Sc (Geology) and P.Geo supervised the work program for 2011 on the Property and has read and approved the technical content in this news release. A full copy of the technical report as required by NI 43-101 can be found on the Company's profile on .
