BLACKSTONE RESOURCES INC. - EL DIAMANTE UPDATE
VANCOUVER, B.C--
Blackstone Resources Inc. (BZZ-ASE), on behalf of joint venture partner Insular Explorations Ltd. (ISX-VSE), is pleased to announce that the work program on the El Diamante property in Chihuahua, Mexico is near completion. The program consisted of detailed geological mapping and geochemical sampling of the previously identified Encino Gordo zone to establish drilling targets. Additionally reconnaissance mapping and sampling was carried out in four other Landsat-identified target areas. More than 400 soil and 400 rock-chip samples were taken and have been submitted for analysis. Results will be released following a thorough review and interpretation of the data by Blackstone and Insular.
The El Diamante project lies in the prolific Sierra Madre gold belt of Mexico and is northwest and adjacent to the El Suazal property of Francisco Gold.
Insular has an option to earn a 50% working interest in the property by expending US$1,000,000 in exploration over the next three years, making a cash payment of US$175,000 and issuing 100,000 shares to Blackstone. Insular may earn an additional 20% working interest by expending a further US$1,000,000 on exploration and paying US$500,000 in cash or shares to Blackstone for a total 70% working interest.
