Marketwired
Parlane Resource Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: PPP) is
pleased to announce an update on its multiphase exploration program
at the 14,366 hectare Big Bear Project, which is situated between
the Blackwater Gold and Capoose projects. Phase I stream
sediment-sampling program results have been received from the
laboratory and the Phase II soil samples have been submitted to the
laboratory.
Big Bear field crews completed a Phase I property-wide stream
sediment-sampling program covering all of the drainage systems on
the property in order to evaluate the potential for mineralization
similar to other properties in the area. Sample values ranged from
less than 0.5 parts per billion (ppb) to 61.4 ppb gold in the 159
silt samples collected. Two samples collected in different areas of
the property that fell above the ninety-fifth percentile for gold
were followed-up with detailed stream sediment sampling. In
addition, 41 soil samples were collected and returned values
ranging from less than 0.5 ppb to 172.5 ppb gold. Detailed
follow-up soil sampling occurred over two separate areas that
returned values for gold greater than the ninety-fifth percentile.
The results of the follow-up sampling are expected to be returned
from the laboratory by late fall.
Phase II work included the collection of 2,634 soil samples
taken across the Big Bear property at 50-metre centres on lines
spaced one kilometre apart. It is anticipated that all of the
laboratory results from this significant sampling program will also
be returned by late fall.
The Big Bear is highly prospective for the discovery of similar
high level epithermal mineralization as that found on nearby
properties. The results of the recently completed detailed sampling
program are expected to reveal areas on the property that will be
targeted for geophysical surveying and drilling.
The Big Bear property is located in the Omineca Mining Division,
Nechako Plateau in central British Columbia. It is approximately
100 kilometres south of Vanderhoof and covers 14,366 ha. The
property is situated between two mineralized systems known as the
Blackwater Gold Project and the Capoose property. Estimates on the
Blackwater Gold deposit are reported to contain an indicated
mineral resource of 53 million tonnes averaging 1.06 grams per
tonne (g/t) gold and 5.6 g/t silver at a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t
gold. An additional 75 million tonnes grading 0.96 g/t gold and 4.0
g/t silver is classified as inferred(1). The reported resource
estimate for Capoose is 31.22 million tonnes grading 0.38 g/t gold
and 26.5 g/t silver, at a gold equivalent cut-off grade of 0.40
g/t, for 383,823 contained ounces of gold and 26,593,915 contained
ounces of silver in an Indicated category. The Inferred category
includes 37.23 million tonnes grading 0.37 g/t gold and 24.6 g/t
silver for 443,206 contained ounces of gold and 29,517,933
contained ounces of silver(2).
