Entourage Metals (TSX VENTURE:EMT) Commences Phase 1 Drill Program at Rous Lake in Hemlo Region
25 Octobre 2011 - 3:00PM
Marketwired
Entourage Metals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:EMT) (the "Company) is pleased
to announce that the Phase 1 diamond drill program has commenced at
its Rous Lake gold property in the Hemlo Region of NW Ontario. This
first phase of drilling will be a minimum of 2,000 meters based on
geological, geophysical, and geochemical targets. Rous Lake is the
third target in the Hemlo region being drill tested by Entourage in
2011.
To define drill targets on this property where glacial
overburden extends to depths of up to 100m, Entourage has completed
Gravimetric and Soil Gas Hydrocarbon (SGH) Surveys. These surveys
collected a total of 467 gravity stations, and 650 SGH samples over
a series of traverses covering a strike length of 5 km over the
western extension of the deformation zone which hosts Barrick's
Hemlo gold deposit.
The interpretation of the gravity results in conjunction with
the government airborne magnetics has identified various density
contrasts that possibly represent permissive structural breaks that
might host gold mineralization. Along these structural breaks
excellent SGH anomalies have been identified. This data coupled
with previous work in the area has enabled Entourage to prioritize
several drill targets.
The Soil Gas Hydrocarbon survey is a deep penetrating
geochemical method that involves the analysis of various
hydrocarbons using a forensic approach for identification. This
relatively new geochemistry method has been shown to accurately
identify known mineralization at depth and has contributed to
recent discoveries in NW Ontario.
Entourage Metals has an option agreement with Barrick Gold to
acquire 100% interest in the Toothpick West and Rous Lake
properties located along the mineralized trend of Barrick's Hemlo
gold deposit.
The Hemlo Belt Properties are located in the Thunder Bay Mining
District in Northern Ontario, approximately 230 km east of Thunder
Bay. The property has excellent road access and infrastructure with
close proximity to rail, air and power.
The geological understanding of the Hemlo belt and its
mineralization has improved in the decades since Hemlo was
discovered in 1981. A majority of these targets lie below 500
meters vertical depth; limited historical exploration has been
accomplished at these depths.
The Hemlo Deposit has produced over 20.3 million ounces of gold
to date (MNDM OFR 6182 and 6246). Compared to other greenstone
belts, this area has remained relatively untapped and
underexplored. Gold was first discovered in the Hemlo area in 1981,
leading to a staking rush and exploration work in the early 1980's.
Current producing mines include Barrick's David Bell, Golden Giant,
and Williams Mine defining a large 2.5 km continuous body of gold
mineralization.
The 2011 exploration program for the Hemlo area properties are
under the supervision of John C. Florek, P.Geo, Vice-President
Exploration for Entourage Metals; who is a Qualified Person as
defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Florek prepared and approved the
