Crescent Resources Announces Additional Drilling Results at Uncle Sam Gold Project, Alaska
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/01/11 -- Crescent Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE: CRC) ("Crescent" or the "Company") reports additional results from the first phase of drilling at the Uncle Sam gold project in the Tintina Gold Belt, Alaska. The project is located 65 kilometres southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska, 60 kilometres west of the Pogo Gold Mine and adjacent to a recent gold discovery reported by Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd. ("Sumitomo"). The work on Uncle Sam is being funded by Crescent and the exploration work is being managed by Millrock Resources Inc., (TSX VENTURE: MRO). Crescent has an option to earn a 100% interest in Millrock's rights to the Uncle Sam property subject to a royalty.
Lone Tree Prospect
Five diamond drill holes totaling 1,329 metres were recently completed at the Lone Tree prospect located in the northwest part of the Uncle Sam property. Drilling targeted a 500 metre by 250 metre portion of a larger gold-in-soil anomaly measuring approximately 4,000 metres by 1,000 metres. Previous historical drilling by other operators in the general area returned encouraging results such as drill holes USC-011, which contained an intersection of 19.22 metres averaging 2.03 g/t gold and USC-013, which contained 6.0 metres averaging 1.79 g/t gold and 14.0 m averaging 1.65 g/t gold. A summary of significant results follows:
The listed gold intercepts at Lone Tree typically occur within thicker zones containing anomalous gold mineralization commonly associated with faults and fault zones. This is evident in LT-005 which intersected 33.83 metres grading 0.58 grams per tonne gold. Host rocks for mineralization include both metamorphic rocks (schist, gneiss) and, to a lesser extent, granitic intrusive rocks.
A property-wide soil geochemical survey designed to obtain data in areas not previously sampled was also completed as part of the 2011 program. Results are pending.
The Lone Tree area is one of three main previously defined areas of anomalous gold-in-soil occurring within the Uncle Sam project area (Lone Tree, Christmas, Wolf). Previous drilling in 2011 by Millrock and Crescent at the Wolf Prospect, located approximately 3.5 kilometres south of Lone Tree, encountered intercepts up to 11.40 metres averaging 4.86 grams per tonne gold (see news dated July 28, 2011).
Crescent can earn a 100% interest in the 31 square kilometre Uncle Sam project in an agreement signed with Millrock on December 15, 2010.
