Augustine Ventures Receives Amended NI 43-101 Technical Report for Surluga Gold Deposit, Wawa, Ontario
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/25/11 -- Augustine Ventures Inc. ("Augustine" or the "Company") (CNSX: WAW) has received an amended NI 43-101 Technical Report by Watts, Griffis & McOuat Limited ("WGM") on its Surluga Gold Property (the "Property") in Wawa, Ontario. The amended report contains correction of a factual mistake which resulted in an erroneous conclusion about the Quality Control (QC) of a standard that had been inserted into stream of drill core samples processed by Accurassay Laboratories Ltd. ("Accurassay"). In preparing the original report, the mean and standard deviation of the certified gold content of sample HSG-3 was incorrectly read as 4009+/-25 ppb gold when in fact the certified value was 4009+/-250 ppb gold. As a result of the error, WGM erroneously concluded that most of the assays of this standard fell outside the acceptable range, and stated that "Accurassay performed poorly". All of the assays of sample HSG-3 did in fact fall within the acceptable range of 1 standard deviation above and below the mean, and statements to this effect have been corrected in the amended report.
This error in reporting the QC standards did not in any way materially affect the Mineral Resource estimate reported in the original report in our press release dated November 1, 2011. To summarize, the original report includes an Inferred Mineral Resource estimate of 32,269,000 tonnes at a grade of 1.14 g Au/t for the Surluga Gold Deposit, or "Jubilee Shear". The following table illustrates the resources at different cut-offs:
Wayne Isaacs, Chairman & CEO of Augustine states that, "the error has now been corrected and it had no material effect on the Mineral Resource estimate. We would like to thank WGM for their quick resolution of the issue and we are looking forward to proceeding with our planned exploration of the Wawa Gold Property."
Per the Assignment Agreement between Citabar Limited Partnership ("Citabar"), Citadel Gold Mines Inc. ("Citadel"), Delta Uranium Inc., Delta Precious Metals Inc. (Ontario) and Augustine dated September 15, 2010, Augustine issued another 250,000 common shares to Citabar on the first anniversary of Ministry of Northern Development and Mines consent to transfer the title to the mineral claims from Citadel to Citabar, which consent was received in November 2010 (see news release dated April 20, 2011).
Augustine has an option to earn a 60% interest in the 2,345-hectare Surluga Property by making certain cash payments and share issuances (which have been made to date), and by spending $8 million on the Property before November 5 2014. In addition, the Company has a 100% interest in 320 contiguous hectares added by staking, and unpatented claims totalling another 2,576 hectares, also contiguous that were recently acquired (see news release dated September 27, 2011).
The amended WGM report can be viewed on the Company's website at and on SEDAR.
