Kaminak Drills New Oxide Gold Discovery at Coffee
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 10, 2013) - Kaminak Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:KAM) today announced the drill discovery and delineation of a new oxide gold zone on the Company's Coffee Gold Project referred to as "Sumatra". Drilling successfully identified shallow, oxidized gold-bearing structures over 500 metres (m) of mineralized strike with highlights of 15.78 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 3.05m from 1.52m downhole in CFR0513 and 5.72g/t over 4m from 75m depth in CFD0331. The Sumatra Zone is associated with a northeasterly trending gold-in-soil anomaly (>1km in length) and an aeromagnetic lineament (>2km in length) interpreted to connect to the western extension of the Latte Zone and the western edge of the Supremo Zone. The 2013 Coffee drill program is ongoing and over 50,000m have been drilled so far this year.
Eira Thomas, CEO, commented: "The Sumatra discovery demonstrates continued success in drilling gold-in-soil anomalies on the Coffee property and highlights the prospectivity of more than 25 km of untested, priority gold-in-soil anomalies that remain throughout the property."
About the Sumatra Zone
Drilling targeted a 1.2km northeast striking +25ppb gold-in-soil anomaly located approximately 0.5km north of Latte and west of Supremo. Drilling intersected two separate, variably oriented mineralized structures:
A NE-SW striking structure parallel with the aeromagnetic lineament, dipping steep to moderate to the NW. Highlight drill intercepts to date include: 0.99g/t over 30.48m from 135.64m depth in CFR0499, which is interpreted to have drilled obliquely down the structure, and 1.54g/t Au over 16.77m from 4.57m in CFR0514. Mineralization is interpreted to extend over at least 500m strike length and remains open along strike to the southwest beneath un-drilled gold-in-soil anomalies. To the northeast, it merges into the Supremo T1 Zone.
Approximately half of the 1.2km Sumatra gold-in soil anomaly remains undrilled. Both structures are open to the west beneath strongly anomalous gold-in-soils, which extend over 600m along trend then terminate at a zone of permafrost, which renders soil sampling ineffective. Interpretation of the magnetic data suggests the underlying bedrock structure continues for an additional 800m to the southwest before merging with or intersecting the Latte Structure, and therefore, represents a high priority exploration target.
