West Cirque Acquires Additional Claims at Castle
(via Thenewswire.ca)
West Cirque Resources Ltd. (WCQ: TSX.V) announces the acquisition of a
100% interest in six additional claims adjoining the Castle
Gold-Silver-Copper project, recently optioned from Bearclaw Capital
Corp. (BRL: TSX-V) (see news release January 4, 2012). The Castle
Project covers a 5.5 kilometre long alteration zone associated with
gold-silver and copper-gold mineralization. The additional claims
total 276 hectares, bringing the total project area to 879 hectares.
Historical exploration on the newly acquired claims has delineated a
200 to 300 by 2500 metre zone of quartz-carbonate-pyrite-chalcopyrite
veins and disseminated pyrite-chalcopyrite in propylitic to
quartz-sericite-pyrite altered volcanic rocks. The volcanics are
intruded by a monzodiorite plug and by diorite and trachyte dykes.
Mineralized rock samples (grab samples) have returned assays up to 5.8
grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) and 7.5% copper (Cu). A 500 metre long
contour soil line returned consistently elevated Au, Cu and molybdenum
(Mo) values, with Au from 37 to 332 parts per billion (ppb), Cu from
160 to 5650 parts per million (ppm), and Mo from 3 to 84 ppm. The
mineralized zone has not been tested by drilling.
The Castle project is located 68 kilometres south of Dease Lake and 10
kilometres west of B.C. Highway 37. The project is 25 kilometres
northwest of Imperial Metals' Red Chris copper-gold porphyry deposit,
and 17 kilometres north of NGEx Resources' GJ copper-gold porphyry
deposit, presently under option to Teck Resources Ltd.
Historical assays have not been verified by West Cirque but have been
cited from sources believed to be reliable. Grab samples do not
represent the average grade of mineralized zones but generally
indicate the tenor of higher grade mineralization. West Cirque's
disclosure of a technical or scientific nature in this news release
has been reviewed and approved by John Bradford, M.Sc., P.Geo. and
V.P. Exploration and Director for West Cirque Resources, who serves as
a Qualified Person under the definition of National Instrument 43-101.
