Greencastle Reports on Drilling at Rockstone Base Metal Exploration Property in Northwest Ontario

Marketwired Canada
Greencastle Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:VGN) ("Greencastle" or the "Company"),
has completed a total of 915 metres in 4 holes on its initial diamond drilling
program at its Rockstone property. The property, comprising a total of 340 claim
units, is located between Shebandowan and Thunder Bay in Northwest Ontario.
The Rockstone claims are located over a large number of geophysical anomalies
generated from an earlier airborne electromagnetic (VTEM) survey supplied by the
property vendor and covering an area of some 270 square kilometres. Rock outcrop
on the property is sparse but the geology is interpreted to be typical Archean
greenstone belt rocks comprising mafic to felsic metavolcanics with iron
formation and clastic metasediments.
The program was planned to test for the presence of base metal massive sulphides
and provide information from which to further interpret the large number of
geophysical anomalies in the database. All the holes intersected a sequence of
intermediate to mafic pyroclastic volcanic rocks containing common stringers and
disseminations of pyrite and pyrrhotite with locally minor chalcopyrite and
sphalerite. In addition, graphite is commonly observed coating planar surfaces
in varying amounts throughout some sections of the drill holes. The combination
of graphitic and pyrite-pyrrhotite stringer zones in the volcanic stratigraphy
targeted by the drilling could explain the airborne geophysical anomalies tested
to date.
A number of the sulphide-bearing intersections were sampled for gold and base
metals but no significant values were returned. There remains a large number of
conductive geophysical anomalies which merit being drill-tested on the property.
In addition, the Company continues to evaluate the drilling data with a view to
carrying out down-hole geophysical surveying on some of the holes drilled to
date, once other geophysical analyses of the core have been completed.
