Dentonia Resources Ltd. ("the Company") is pleased to announce results of tungsten re-assaying of channel samples taken from the Knight Inlet area claims, results of which were initially reported in the Company's news release dated August 5, 2009.
Initially, 53 channel samples were assayed with a tungsten detection limit of 1,000 parts per million ("ppm"). Ten channel samples with results above this detection limit were re-assayed from pulps using a larger assay sample and a detection limit of 10,000ppm. Sample 18a, with a tungsten value of 5.54%, was then re-assayed again using a larger sample and 100% detection limit.
The most important re-assay result is a 4m interval averaging 1.66% tungsten ("W"), including a 1m interval of 5.54% W.
This equates to a 4m interval averaging 2.1% tungsten concentrate ("W03"), assuming a conversion ratio of 1.2616.
Elemental tungsten ("W") is sold on the world market as tungsten concentrate ("WO3"), currently at a price of approximately $20 (US) per kilogram (Kg).

The samples were collected under the supervision and control of James A. Turner, P.Geo. A horizontal channel was created with a rock saw at a consistent height across the discovery skarn (see photo on Dentonia's website at www.dentonia.net). Pulps from these samples, which were stored at International Plasma Labs in Richmond BC, were re-assayed using the fusion ICP method with Tungsten.
The Knight Inlet claims are located approximately 80kms north of Campbell River, BC. Access is by boat, seaplane or helicopter to Fraser Bay at the head of Loughborough Inlet. The tungsten skarn discovery area can be reached either by helicopter or by an 11km-logging road inland from Fraser Bay.
