Teryl Resources and Minewest Silver and Gold Announce Assay Results
From 2012 Silverknife Ag-Zn-Pb Re-Sampling Program Confirms The
High Grade Silver/Lead/Zinc Results
VANCOUVER, British Columbia,
Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/
-- Teryl Resources Corp. (TSX Venture Exchange: TRC.V, OTCBB:
TRYLF) and Minewest Silver and Gold announce that analytical
results from the 2012 Silverknife Ag-Zn-Pb core re--sampling
project in north central B.C. have been received and compiled by
the Company and confirm historically reported mineralization.
Additionally, the 2012 program has defined high priority drill
targets for a fully permitted 2013 diamond drilling program
targeting extension to the known Ag-Zn-Pb mineralization.
During the course of the 2012 Silverknife program, the Project
was accessed and the 25+ year old core storage site was
re-established with all recoverable core re-boxed, re-logged, and
where practicable mineralized intervals and proximal area were
re-sampled. It is estimated that 85% of the historic core was
resurrected and restored. Specific representative intervals of
Ag-Zn-Pb mineralization were selected for detailed Inspection and
any germane previously sampled intersections of core were quartered
and previously un-sampled core intervals were halved. Due to core
loss and degradation over the intervening years, exact duplication
of previously sampled intervals was not always possible, where
practicable however, the 2012 sampling was conducted on systematic
1 metre intervals
The 2012 core re-Iogging and re-sampling program confirmed the
grade and tenor of mineralization previously identified on the
Silverknife Project with grades from trace to 21.19 ounces/ton
(726.8 ppm) Ag with an average of 1.79 ounces/ton (61.36 ppm) Ag;
trace to 16.48% Zn with an average of 1.99% Zn; trace to 10.98% Pb
with an average of 0.87% Pb; and from trace to 1.1 ppm Au. A
comparison of the historic analytical results to the 2012
analytical results do not show an exact 1:1 ration, however owing
to the style of mineralization (coarse grained sphalerite and
galena) and the disparate analytical techniques and sampling
intervals, this variation Is expected.
It was noticed by Company geologists during the re-Iogging of
the core that where visible Ag-Zn-Pb mineralization was identified,
a corresponding drop in core recovery was common. This observation
is exceedingly valuable, as this rack of core recovery within
mineralized sections is indicative of a potential understatement of
grade. The Company is confident that armed with this information,
more care can be taken when drill testing these areas, and
potentially with such care reported grades will increase.
In total 101 core samples were collected and submitted for assay
to Inspectorate Exploration and Mining Services Inc., of
Richmond. BC, an ISO 9001:2008
certified laboratory. Samples were shipped by Company consultants
to Inspectorate's Whitehorse, YT
preparation facility where samples were sorted and crushed to
appropriate particle size (pulp) and representatively split to a
smaller size for shipment to Inspectorate's, Richmond, B.C. analysis facility. Assay
procedures consisted of 30 element Inductively Coupled
Spectrophotometry (ICP) following multi-acid digestion as well as
standard fire assay for gold, with atomic adsorption (AA.) finish.
When overlimits were reported, Inspectorate's Ore-Grade analyses
for Ag, Pb, and Zn; respectively, was utilized. Assay standards
were inserted into the sample stream as part of the Silverknife
OA/OC program.
A detailed GPS survey of the historic SlIverknife "Discovery"
drill out was conducted during the 2012 program coincident with an
updated Silverknife mineral claim Boundary survey. With the data
collected and compiled from the 2012 program, the Company will now
intends to digitize the historic drilling data and model the
Silverknife mineralization with the help of 3D geological modeling
software. This work will allow the Company to define the extent of
the defined mineralization, target 2013 drill holes and focus
exploration efforts on extending and expanding the Silverknife
Ag-Zn-Pb mineralization through diamond drilling.
John Robertson, President of
Teryl Resources Corp., states, "This year's exploration program
confirms the previous high grade silver/lead/zinc drilling
results."
THE SILVERKNIFE PROPERTY
The Silverknife Property lies in a well mineralized and
historically and currently important precious and base metals
exploration intensive region. The Silverknife Property hosts a
known historic prospect (the Silverknife Prospect) with defined
Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization within only two (2) km of Silvercorp's
active Silvertip Ag-Pb-Zn deposit. The Silverknife Property
represents a prospective target for precious and base metals
mineralization genetically related to the Silvertip deposit.
The silver-zinc-lead mineralization defined to date on the
Silverknife Property is interpreted to be a distal,
stratigrpahically lower zone than the Silvertip deposit and more
proximate to the Cassiar Batholith (heatsource). The most
relevant targets for mineral exploration on the Property are
associated chimney-type feeder systems and mantos related to the
Silvertip mineralizing event.
