North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd.: Amber Zone Update

07.06.2012  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/06/12 -- North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: NTC) ("NTC" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on its continuing underground diamond drill exploration program in the Amber Zone on its 100% owned Cantung tungsten mine in the Northwest Territories.


Seven holes were fan drilled from the same setup on 3680 level, as follow-up on holes: U1943, U1936, and U1937, discussed in the NTC February 6th, 2012 news release and identified as the Amber Zone. These seven new holes were drilled approximately 450ft east and 200ft up dip elevation from the three drill holes. The Amber Zone was discovered early in 2012 by follow-up drilling of the historic drill hole, U719, which had intercepted 36ft averaging 1.36% WO3.


Significant results, from the seven holes, include 26.4ft averaging 3.02 % WO3 (hole U1983) and 34.0ft averaging 1.29 % WO3 (U1981). Higher grade intercepts included 18.4ft averaging 4.09 %WO3 (hole U1981), 13.0ft averaging 2.60 % WO3 (hole U1983), and 9.9ft averaging 2.50% (hole U1984). Results from the seven holes are summarized in the table below:

The new area termed the "Amber Zone" is located near the "below 3700 level" of the West Extension and the Central Flats areas and is outside the currently defined resource. Additional drill sections are currently being tested from 3680 Level.


The discovery of the Amber Zone is a result of an ongoing program of computerized modeling and review of over 50 years of accumulated data for the Cantung mine.
