wcq............Vancouver, B.C., March 4, 2013; West Cirque Resources Ltd. (“West Cirque” or the “Company”) (TSX.V) is pleased to announce that Freeport-McMoRan Corporation of Canada Limited (“Freeport”), a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., has entered into an agreement to explore West Cirque’s Castle, Tanzilla and Pliny properties (the “Properties”) in northwestern British Columbia. Freeport can earn an initial 51% interest (“First Tier Earn-In”) in the Properties by funding cumulative expenditures of $8,000,000 over a four-year period. Exploration HistoryThe Castle Property covers a 5.5 kilometre long alteration zone associated with gold-silver-copper mineralization. In 1971, Sumitomo Mining defined a 250 by 1500 metre copper soil anomaly in the western part of the alteration zone, and subsequently conducted a small program of diamond drilling (550 metres). Teck Exploration Ltd. staked the property in 1980 and conducted several rounds of exploration work between 1981 and 1997. Teck focused on a zone of quartz-sulfide mineralization in the western part of the alteration zone after grab samples of quartz-pyrite with late barite veins returned up to 138.2 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) and 434 grams per tonne silver (g/t Ag). Teck’s chip samples from this zone also returned encouraging values, including: 31.92 g/t Au, 138.9 g/t Ag over 1.0 metre, 39.63 g/t Au, 3.4 g/t Ag over 0.4 metre, 7.99 g/t Au, 34.29 g/t Ag over 3.0 metres, 7.82 g/t Au, 31.89 g/t Ag over 2.0 metres, 0.93 g/t Au and 6.5 g/t Ag over 18.0 metres. Teck also completed a second soil survey, outlining a 150 to 400 by 2000 metre Cu-Au anomaly, open to the east, with up to 5593 parts per million (ppm) Cu and 1.4 ppm Au in soil. In addition, several geophysical surveys, including ground magnetics, induced polarization and self-potential, were carried out. The IP survey outlined a strong chargeability high in the western part of the zone where sulfide flooded quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration is exposed at surface. A diamond drill program completed by Teck in 1988 (1165 metres in 11 drill holes from four drill sites) intersected gold-silver-copper mineralization over a 500 metre strike length. Two drill holes were terminated at shallow depths (28 and 59 metres), while eight of the other nine holes intersected significant mineralization
