Andover Reports Assay Results From the 2012 Drill Program at Sun Property, Ambler Mineral Belt, Alaska
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/29/12 -- Andover Mining Corp. ("Andover" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: AOX)(OTCBB: AOVTF)(FRANKFURT: R2X) is pleased to announce the latest assay results from its 2012 drilling program on the Main SUN Deposit in the Company's SUN District project located in the Ambler Mineral Belt, Northwest Alaska.
Drill hole SUN 12-35 was completed at a depth of approximately 164.6 meters. The drill hole tested the Main SUN Deposit (see news release dated August 22, 2012, August 21, 2012, August 8, 2012 and July 18, 2012 for previously released 2012 drill results). Significant drill intercepts from SUN 12-35 are reported in the following table.
"SUN-12-35 confirms the presence and character of the mineralization on the northeastern extension of the Main SUN Deposit," says Kent Turner, COO of Andover Mining Corp., "and should serve to help increase our resources along strike in that direction when we have completed the seasons work and Mine Development Associates of Reno, Nevada completes a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource calculation and a PEA for the Main SUN Deposit after the 2012 drill campaign is completed and the assays and QA/QC work have been completed. We continue to be pleased with the results of our 2012 program on our deposits within this emerging mineral belt."
Drilling will continue on both the SUN Deposit and S.W. SUN Deposit. Further assays will be released as they are received. Drilling is being conducted on a 24 hour basis, 7 days a week, and is expected to continue into September 2012.
Drill core from SUN 12-35, completed on 27 July 2012 was logged, split and boxed on site by Andover's geologists. Core from SUN 12-35 was shipped to the ALS-Chemex Prep Lab in Fairbanks, Alaska. The pulps from Fairbanks were analyzed for 35 elements at the ALS-Chemex facilities in Vancouver, British Columbia and the gold assays were performed at ALS-Chemex facilities in Reno, Nevada. Base metal over-limits were wet assayed. Blanks and standards were inserted with each sample shipment.
This news release has been reviewed by Bradley C. Peek, Certified Professional Geologist (AIPG CPG-11299) and General Manager for Andover's Ambler District projects. Mr. Peek is a National Instrument 43-101 qualified person and is responsible for the technical aspects of this news release.
