Outcrop Grab Sampling at Lakanfla Uncovers 31.71 GPT Au At New Zone 4
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/18/11 -- (the "Company" or "Legend Gold")(TSX VENTURE: LGN) is pleased to announce results from a geological mapping and sampling program at . Sampling of numerous rock outcroppings has uncovered extensive surface bedrock gold mineralization. Located in the northeastern portion of Lakanfla, results from grab samples grade as high as 31.71 gpt Au. The rock outcrops over an area of approximately 800 metres X 1 kilometre in extent with widely spaced outcrops and multi-gram samples SEE MAP. Outcrop is described as and highly silicified metapelite and minor sericite.
, said, "This is a very exciting development for the exploration of the. A significant new area, we now call Zone 4, has been identified by surface rock sampling. Once our drilling program was completed, company geologists began following and mapping a trend of ancient artisanal workings north from where they noted and sampled numerous silicified outcrops. Sample descriptions and surface specimens are distinctly similar to descriptions of the Sadiola FE series of deposits 4 kilometres north-west of Lakanfla. Lakanfla is located adjacent to the Sadiola Gold Mine which is owned and operated by a partnership of AngloGold Ashanti, IAMGOLD, and SEMOS."
As stated in our most recent press release (see press release dated ), Legend is very keen to resume our drilling program at Lakanfla. Staff geologists are very excited by this new discovery and are planning a series of trenches starting in mid-September to test the limits and structure of this new gold discovery. Once trenching is complete we will add Zone 4 to our list of drill targets for Q4 2011. Once again we can state that Sadiola's FE series of satellite pits appear to occur as a series, or cluster, of mineralized bodies. It appears that similar circumstance may be present at Lakanfla and closer spaced drilling will now be required to outline the gold mineralization in all Zones.
The results are from thirty-seven selective samples. Assays ranged from a detection limit of 1ppb Au to 31,705 ppb Au with 9 of the thirty seven samples exceeding 200 ppb Au. Outcrop exposure is less than one percent of the surface area mapped. Grab samples are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades on the property.
