Airborne Survey Completed and Fourth Drill Commences at Spanish Mountain
October 24, 2006
Management is pleased to announce that an additional reverse circulation drill has been contracted to augment the two diamond drills and one reverse circulation drill currently operating on the Spanish Mountain Joint Venture. The new drill is scheduled to begin drilling this week bringing the full compliment of drills to four.
The new drill will concentrate on the southern portion of the Spanish Mountain claim group, two and a half kilometers south of the Spanish Mountain “Main Zone” and located on the opposite side of the ridge. The area of interest drains into the Cedar Creek watershed and lies approximately two and a half kilometers northeast of one of Canada’s richest placer gold deposits. The Cedar Creek placer deposit was discovered in 1921 and commented on in the 1926 report to the BC Minster of Mines in which it is noted that “Three exceptional pans of raw gravel that year yielded “49, 35 and 29 ounces of gold, respectively ”. Initial material processed at Cedar Creek placer commonly yielded approximately $50 yard in gold then valued at $17 ounce.
A new logging road was constructed into this area this summer and preliminary investigation indicates this area is completely covered with overburden, limiting historical prospectors from finding the bedrock source of the Cedar Creek gold. The additional drill will utilize the new road to access areas which can be tested through the overburden for the host gold mineralizing system.
Notification has been received that a helicopter borne geophysical survey was completed on October 16 and preliminary results will be made available to the joint venture shortly. The airborne survey, completed by Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp., entailed approximately 300 line-kilometers of survey employing a DIGHEM multi-coil, multi-frequency electromagnetic system. It is anticipated that the survey will help to detail important stratigraphic and structural corridors controlling gold mineralization.
The Spanish Mountain project is a joint venture between Skygold Ventures Ltd. and Wildrose Resources Ltd. in which Skygold has a 70% participating interest and Wildrose has a 30% participating interest.
