Ascot Resources Continues to Expand a Large Gold System in the Big Missouri Area

01.08.2012  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/01/12 -- Ascot Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: AOT) is pleased to announce an update on drilling results from its ongoing 2012 exploration program at Premier. The 2012 drilling campaign continues to expand and confirm the property has potential for both bulk tonnage and higher grade underground gold/silver targets. This release includes results for the first 55 holes (PR-12-267 to 321) that have results completed for, out of the 88 holes completed to date for a total of 18,935 meters of drilling. The remainder of the holes have results pending and will be released at a later date. Drilling in 2012 has all been outside of the area of the NI 43-101 resource announced May 2, 2012 and continues to expand the Big Missouri system with a majority of the holes encountering gold and silver intersections. Drilling started in the southeast (Dago area) and northeast (Unicorn area) due to limited access from heavy snowfall and a slow spring melt. This drilling has now shifted to the western side of the Big Missouri in the Day and Northstar areas. Drilling has also commenced in the Martha Ellen zone located 2.0km's northwest of the Big Missouri zone.


Wide zones of gold and silver mineralization continue to be encountered in many of the areas demonstrating bulk tonnage potential in a generally flat sheet like orientation. Detailed results table, locations and figures can be viewed at the following Ascot link: www.ascotresources.ca

In 2012 the region historically known as the Big Missouri area is being drill tested covering portions of the historic Unicorn, S1, Dago, Northstar, and Province/Big Missouri zones and will be drilled at sufficient density to provide an updated to the May 2, 2012 NI43-101 resource in this large target area (approximate 50 meter centres). The surface extent of showings and alteration in this area covers a surface area of approximately 3.0 square kilometres.


Drilling has also commenced in the Martha Ellen area at a density that will allow an initial resource of this near surface target previously tested by Westmin with 155 historic diamond drill holes. This area is believed to be the northwest fault offset extension of the Big Missouri zone.
