Archean Star Announces Co-Funding Agreement for Gnaweeda Gold Project
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/07/12 -- Archean Star Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ASP) ("Archean" or the "Company") announces that it has received approval for a co-funded exploration drill program on the Gnaweeda Gold Project in the highly prolific Murchison Gold Field in Western Australia, from the Government of Western Australia Department of Mines and Petroleum ("DMP").
The Company applied to the DMP under its exploration co-funding program to co-fund the Company's planned $300,000 plus diamond drill program at Gnaweeda and the granted funding from the DMP is for $150,000.
Diamond drilling is planned for both the Far East and Bunarra gold prospects, approximately 14 km and 17 km respectively, south of the Turnberry gold prospect that was the subject of the most recent drill program. The more significant gold intersections at Bunarra were 18 meters grading 11.79 g/t Au and 79 meters grading 0.31 g/t Au. These intersections were located in the approximate center between two significant identified SAM ('Sub-Audio Magnetotelluric') anomalies.
Multiple gold intersections on the Far East gold prospect from prior RAB drilling has not been followed up by diamond drilling, despite multiple meter gold intervals grading up to 7 g/t Au. The multiple gold intersections have been overlain on the approximately 1 km long anomaly identified in the recent SAM survey () and show a positive correlation with the anomaly.
On completion of this program, the Company will have completed the required expenditures to earn, subject to a 75% back in right, 100% of Teck Australia Pty Ltd's interest in Gnaweeda.
