Pistol Bay Evaluates Property Adjacent to Colorado Resources Discovery
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/26/13 -- Pistol Bay Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE: PST) reports that due to the recent copper-gold discovery on Colorado Resource North ROK property, in the Iskut area of northern British Columbia, Pistol Bay has received significant interest in its 100% owned Summit Lake B property (Kitty Claims). The Colorado Resources drill hole intersected 242 metres grading 0.63% copper and 0.85 g/t gold. The 1,394 hectare Summit B property is contiguous with Colorado Resources North ROK property and 20 kilometres northwest of Imperial Metals Red Chris Copper-Gold project. Pistol Bay's total land package, in the Iskut area, consists of three properties totaling over 8,500 hectares, much of which is adjacent to the Red Chris project. (To view the property map click here: ). Pistol Bay is evaluating various alternatives for advancement of this exciting project.
In 2010 Pistol Bay carried out preliminary surface geological mapping and geochemical sampling which outlined a gold-bearing horizon on the Summit B property. Previous programs had focused on copper exploration, outlining a trend of roughly 100 metres of strongly anomalous copper values from rock sampling. Although copper was the main focus, rock sampling also returned several high gold values, up to 4.95 g/t gold, along a parallel zone roughly 30 metres southwest of the main trend.
Further exploration in 2010, at this location, yielded two notable rock composite grab samples of similar gold-bearing rock. Results of 17.9 g/t gold with 18.5 g/t silver, and 10.9 g/t gold with 15.9 g/t silver respectively, were returned. Detailed grid soil sampling and rock sampling indicate these correspond to a 250 metre trend of anomalous gold values, including a rock chip sample of similar material grading 1.875 g/t gold across 2.0 metres. Similar coincident anomalous copper-gold values were returned from soil sampling about 250 metres farther northwest along trend. This trend represents a new target warranting further exploration within the Summit B block. Composite grab sampling throughout the property returned numerous anomalous copper values from 0.271% to 1.505% copper.
The B.C. Minfile description of the Kitty occurrence reports historic work including 9 bulldozer trenches over an area of 170 by 5 metres (B.C. Assessment Report 21416) and historic results from surface grab samples as high as 8.98% copper, 24.5 g/t silver and 0.045 g/t gold. Grab samples as high as 1.61 g/t gold and 0.6% copper have been returned from another showing approximately 50 metres southwest of the bulldozed trench area.
Grab samples are selective in nature and assays may not be representative of all mineralization on the property.
