Entourage Metals (TSX VENTURE:EMT) Commences Surface Program at Benton Property
03 Novembre 2011 - 3:11PM
Marketwired
Entourage Metals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:EMT) (the "Company") is pleased
to announce that surface exploration has commenced at the Benton
gold property. The 2011 program consists of reconnaissance level
Gravimetric and Soil Gas Hydrocarbon (SGH) Surveysto identify areas
meriting more detailed exploration.
The SGH program will collect over 5,000 soil samples for
analysis. The applicability of this method is useful in terrains
where thick overburden occurs and where conventional soil
geochemistry is ineffectual. This relatively new geochemical method
has been shown to accurately identify known mineralization at depth
and has contributed to recent gold discoveries. The SGH survey is a
deep penetrating geochemical method that involves the analysis of
various hydrocarbons using a forensic approach for
identification.
A substantial portion of the Benton property is covered in deep
overburden and swamps; ideal for a survey of this type. In
addition, the property is adjacent to Trelawney Mining/Augen Gold
Corp's Jerome Mine (Inferred Resource of 1.03 million oz. Au). This
recent drill discovery is credited to the use of SGH.
The Benton Gold Property is located in the underexplored
Southern Swayze Greenstone Belt, Benton Township, Ontario within
the prolific Abitibi Subprovince. The 203 square kilometer property
surrounds a portion of the Ridout Deformation Zone, within the
Swayze Greenstone Belt, which is considered to be the western
extension of the Cadillac-Larder Lake Break. The Kirkland Lake
Deposits and Kerr Addison-Chesterville gold deposits, associated
with the Cadillac-Larder Lake Break, have historic production
exceeding 49 million ounces of gold.
This Ridout Deformation Zone hosts Trelawney Mining's Cote Lake
Gold Deposit (Inferred Resource of 4.2 million oz. Au) and the
Jerome Mine. Entourage's claims cover over 11 km of this trend.
Entourage's Benton property is covered by extensive overburden
which frustrated earlier exploration and presents the opportunity
of an underexplored area. The rock types here are very similar to
the Kirkland Lake Greenstone Belt; consisting of Temiskaming
sediments, volcanics, and porphyries.

Entourage's exploration activity is under the supervision of
John C. Florek, P.Geo, Vice-President Exploration for Entourage
Metals. Mr. Florek is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.
