OAK Sheltered Oak Resources Corp.

TORONTO, Feb. 22 /CNW/ -- Trading Symbol: TSX-V OAK TORONTO, Feb. 22 /CNW/ - Sheltered Oak Resources Corp. (OAK or the Company) (TSXV: OAK) is pleased to announce plans to conduct a 11,500 m drilling program on the Kerrs Quartz Green Carbonate (QGC) Breccia Deposit located on its 100% controlled Kerrs Property and the adjoining property located in the East Timmins Gold Camp. OAK management is proposing an aggressive exploration program for 2011 with the following objectives:  1) Definition drilling within the Kerrs Deposit study area to expand the mineral resource inventory 2) Extension drilling along the Kerrs Deposit trend towards the adjoining property 3) Stratigraphic fence drilling across the projected Kerrs Deposit trend on the adjoining property 4) Reconnaissance drilling on a 1,600 m long parallel structure supported by MMI geochemical anomalies The exploration program is outlined as follows: 1. 5,000 m of delineation drilling involving 11 holes is proposed to follow-up on four areas of gold enrichment within the Kerrs QGC breccia deposit which is undergoing a NI 43-101 resource study and estimation. The 2010 Phase 5 drilling campaign has confirmed that gold enrichment occurs in sheeted, pyritic quartz vein breccias zones conforming to a trough structure developed along the fold axis over a 800 m strike length and has lateral down-dip extensions up to 350 m. 2. 3,000 m of extension drilling involving 7 holes is proposed to follow-up on the southwest and northeast extensions of the Kerrs Deposit trend [section 800N to section 1600N] for a distance of 800 m to the adjoining property boundary. On section 900N, drill hole K-10-42 returned 3.84 g/t over 6.5 m and on section 1500N, drill hole K-10-37 returned 3.54 g/t over 4.8 m. 3. 2,000 m of stratigraphic fence drilling involving 5 holes is tentatively planned on the Kerrs QGC breccia deposit trend projected southwestward on to the adjoining property. This property is contiguous to the northwest boundary of OAK's Kerrs Gold Property. The Kerrs QGC Breccia Trend has been extrapolated over a distance of 1,500 m encompassing the auriferous porphyries drilled by Dome Mines which are coincident with magnetic low features. Historical drilling in the central portion of the property intersected quartz feldspar porphyry with anomalous gold values within a large magnetic low region, which will be the focus of the first cross-section drill fence. Dome Mines explored the project area from 1977 to 1989. Fifty-five diamond drill holes totaling 10,279 m tested geophysical, stratigraphic and mineralized targets. Gold mineralization is associated with quartz, carbonate, pyrite in narrow, altered brecciated zones of mafic volcanic rocks and chert, jasper, pyrite, magnetite. The volcanic stratigraphy shows an arcuate fold geometry, which is interpreted from regional airborne magnetic surveys to be a large antiform occupying most of Chesney Bay of Lake Abitibi and the eastern portion of Kerrs Township 4. 1,500 m of reconnaissance drilling will involve 3 holes testing a 1,600 m long parallel structure supported by MMI geochemical anomalies with similar pathfinder elements to the Kerrs Deposit. This trend is located 1.5 km to the south of the Kerrs QGC breccias deposit.
