FLAG RESOURCES (1985) LIMITED AND GOLDEN BRIAR MINES LIMITED UPDATE

CALGARY, Jan. 15 /CNW/ - Flag Resources (1985) Limited

FLAG RESOURCES (1985) LIMITED HAS COMMENCED DRILLING THE QUARTZ VEIN
SYSTEMS, WITH VISIBLE GOLD OCCURRENCES ON ITS EXPLORATORY LICENCE OF
OCCUPATION GROUND, SUDBURY, ONTARIO, CANADA

''Flag's Exploratory Licence of Occupation is located northeast of the
Sudbury Anomaly, better known as the ''Sudbury Basin,'' on ground deleted
from
the Wanapitei Provincial Park. The first two shallow drill holes, drilled
at
a 45-degree angle, near a 19 foot deep shaft on the main 2000 foot long
gold-bearing quartz vein system, intersected quartz veining at vertical
depths
of 170 and 70 feet respectively. The quartz intersections are now being
assayed. The third drill hole, on the other side of the small shaft,
drilled
at 45 degrees, was in a fault zone to completion depth of 200 feet. A
fourth
drill hole, at 45 degrees, is drilling into quartz veining 1100 feet to the
southeast.
After completion of a series of shallow drill holes, into the quartz
vein
systems, Flag proposes to test the large gold-bearing structures at a
vertical
depth of 450 to 500 feet.
Flag Resources and associated Golden Briar Mines Limited have held
preliminary discussions with the Wahnapitae First Nation, in regard to a
joint
venture exploration project on their 4 square mile land reserve. Adjoining
Flag's Exploratory Licence of Occupation, to the southwest, the unexplored
ground is close to the northeast sector of the Sudbury Basin, Canada's
greatest producer of mineral wealth. There is a showing of
nickel-copper-platinum-gold and silver, 1200 feet from the boundary of the
land reserve. The Whistle Offset Dike, on which the Whistle Mine is
located,
projects towards the land reserve.
Flag and Golden Briar's president says it is probably the only large
block of ground that close to the Sudbury Basin that has not been explored.
Detailed ground geophysical surveys are commencing on three areas of
copper-gold, nickel-copper and zinc-copper-lead and silver mineralization
on
the group of claims in McNish and MacBeth Townships, optioned by Flag to
Golden Briar Mines Limited. Flag has also optioned a nickel-copper
prospect,
in Rathbun Township, to Golden Briar Mines, who can earn a 50% interest in
the
two claim blocks by completing expenditures of $400,000.00 and $300,000.00,
respectively, over a period of 4 years. The two claim blocks are located
within the 72,000 acre contiguous acreage held by Flag in the Wanapitei
Anomaly, the twin regional magnetic and gravity anomaly to the Sudbury
Anomaly.''
