Night Hawk Lake Drill Results (edited from a CRN release)
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--Golden Knight Resources Inc. has conducted a
recent diamond drilling on the Night Hawk Lake joint venture near
Timmins, Ontario and has verified the continuation onto joint venture
ground of a volcanogenic massive sulphide system (VMS), as well as
specific mineralized horizons, identified in drilling on the
Cross Lake's 100 percent owned Sheraton-Timmins property.
The system has now been traced in widely-spaced drilling over
1,000 metres on the Night Hawk Lake joint venture and
Sheraton-Timmins properties, and is open along strike and at
depth. Golden Knight's drilling also expanded a previously
reported panel of precious metals mineralization that appears to
be associated with one of several episodes of zinc mineralization.
Five holes, totalling 1,920 metres, stepped out from Hole SK97-10
which had intersected gold, silver and zinc mineralization on the
Cross Lake Zone, within the joint venture's claims. Four of the
five holes (SK97-17, 97-18, 97-19, 97-20) intersected zinc-silver
values which have been interpreted as occurring within the
footwall zinc zone of the VMS system. This zone, approximately 70
metres in true thickness, extends over 700 metres to the
northeast, and continues westward over 400 metres on joint venture
ground.
This zone also hosts gold-silver values and flanks a copper zone
which plunges below these holes. In SK97-18, significant gold-
silver values included 1.2 grams of gold and 398.0 grams of silver
per tonne and 0.69 percent zinc over 1.5 metres within a 20.5
metre band of 1.15 percent zinc. SK97-19 intersected 194.4 grams
of silver and 1.01 percent zinc over 3.5 metres. The copper zone
(1.06 percent copper over 3.7 metres) was intersected by Hole
CLS97-27, between 380.8 metres and 384.5 metres. Deeper drilling
is planned to test the plunge line below.

The winter phase of field work, which is expected to commence in
February, will include 40 line-kilometres of induced polarization
(IP) geophysics and 2,700 metres of drilling. The focus of
drilling will be on nearby IP anomalies located to the west of the
Cross Lake and Sheraton Lake zones. Interpretation of drilling
results from the Sheraton Lake zone in late 1997 is continuing,
with further drilling to follow.
The Night Hawk Lake joint venture holds a total of 645 claim units
and consists of Golden Knight (60 percent), Cross Lake Minerals
Ltd. (16 percent), East West Resource Corporation (16 percent) and
Canadian Golden Dragon Resources Ltd. (8 percent). Golden Knight
is the operator.
