TORONTO, CANADA - August 12, 2013 - Mr. George
A. Brown, President and CEO of Cache Exploration Inc. (TSX-V:CAY),
is pleased to announce that a follow up sampling and prospecting
program has been completed on the 100% owned Quinn Eskay
Gold-Silver-Copper Property located north of Stewart, B.C. Dr.
David Lentz, P.Geo., is a Qualified Person as described in National
Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for any technical information
contained in this news release.
The
Quinn Eskay Property is located in the favourable Skeena mining
district of British Columbia with numerous past producers and
deposits undergoing active exploration. Most notably, these include
the large volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit at the Granduc Mine
(see Figure 1), located approximately ten kilometres south of the
Quinn Eskay Property. Granduc historical reports indicate
production of over 64,000 ounces of gold, 4.0 million ounces of
silver, and 419 million pounds of copper from 1971 to 1984; Castle
Resources Inc. intends to bring the Granduc back into production
with an indicated 10.4 Mt of 1.25% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au, and 10.6 g/t Ag
and an inferred of 36.6 Mt of 1.26% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au, and 9.7 g/t Ag
(source: Castle Resources February 21, 2012 news release and public
information on Castle Resources website). The Doc Property, which
adjoins the Quinn Eskay to the north, is also known as the Gracey.
It exhibits similar vein-style mineralization in addition to
associated skarn mineralization. It is reported to contain up to
426,337 tonnes of indicated resources grading 9.2 g/t gold and 44.9
g/t silver (source: November 2009 Geological and Geochemical Report
on the Eskay Project filed with the British Columbia Ministry of
Energy and Mines as an assessment report).
The
primary objective of the field program was to follow up on a 2012
float sample that reported 30.7 g/t gold, 159.0 g/t silver, and
4.47% copper (see October 15, 2012 news release). A secondary
objective of the program was to conduct an initial prospecting
program on the northern claim block that was added in 2012 after
the Company received the positive sampling results (see Figure
2).
The
exploration team was able to successfully locate what is believed
to be the bedrock source of the anomalous mineralized float sample.
Sulphide mineralization in the form of pyrite and chalcopyrite was
identified in bedrock several metres up-slope from the float sample
location. Five test pits were excavated ranging between 1.2 metres
and 3.0 metres apart along a distance of greater than 12.0 metres
of strike length along the bedrock source and samples were
collected from each of the pits (see Figure 3). Sulphides of
varying degrees of abundance were observed in each sample. A strong
correlation with the regional geological trends was also
noted.
Additional prospecting was carried out in the
north-central portion of the property along areas that are
consistent with the regional trends. Several hundred metres from
the identified float mineralization at Quinn Eskay, numerous other
sulphide-bearing quartz veins were also noted in bedrock
intermittently for a distance of more than 800 metres along strike
(see Figure 4). In one area, the 2 metre thick mineralized quartz
vein was exposed along a 70 metre trend and minor displacements by
faulting were tracked. A strong correlation to the regional
geological trends was noted. The veins range in thickness up to 2
metres thick and were noted to contain various concentrations of
pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite
mineralization.
A
total of 32 samples were collected from the property and submitted
to ALS Chemex in Stewart, BC to be prepared and analyzed by 30 g
fire assay for gold and Code ME-MS41 multi-element aqua regia,
inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), and
inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES)
at their facility in Vancouver, BC. Results are expected in late
August.
Cache's property portfolio includes the Welsford Inner Property in
New Brunswick, the Cross Hills IOCG Property and the CMI Cross
Hills Property in Newfoundland, the Quinn Eskay Property in BC, the
White Gold Properties in the Yukon, and the six Nunavut Prospecting
Permits.
