Orca Gold Provides Galat Sufar South Update

16.05.2013  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/16/13 -- Orca Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ORG) ("Orca Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its exploration activities in Sudan.


Exploration is ongoing at the Company's Block 14 permit. Since the previous update (News Release: April 15, 2013) we have focused efforts on expanding the footprint of mineralization at the Galat Sufar South prospect ("GSS").


To date a total of 62 RC holes (8,389m) have been drilled at GSS for which results have been received for 39 holes. In addition, a total of 5 diamond core holes have been completed at GSS for a total of 1,654m for which assays have been received for the first 3. A further 5,000m of drilling is planned for the next two months after which a decision on whether to proceed to initial resource drilling at GSS will be made.


Further encouraging results have now been received from the Main Zone drilling:

Multiple Zones of Mineralisation


It now appears that there are at least four distinct zones at GSS. Current interpretation suggests that the Main, East (1 and 2) and Far East zones represent multiple north-west to north-north-east trending zones within a district scale east-west corridor. Mineralisation throughout the area is hosted by quartz-sericite-carbonate schists with pyrite content having a close relationship to gold mineralisation.


Senior Management and Board members visited site last week and walked all areas of the interpreted mineralization.


The figure below shows the distribution of the zones currently defined by drilling and surface sampling in Galat Sufar South and Appendix 1 details all drill results received to date by zone.


Main Zone


The results tabled above continue to improve our understanding of the Main Zone mineralization which has now been intersected over a strike length of 150m and up to 175m below surface. Mineralization within this area shows a true width of between 75m and 125m and higher grade areas within this envelope are beginning to resolve into distinct higher grade, plunging shoots which remain open at depth.


The mineralization intersected from surface in hole GSRC082 is of particular interest as it clearly shows an extension of the mineralisation under cover to the west. Drilling in this area is focused on targeting the north and westward extension of the Main Zone under cover, to where trench 14TR041B returned 64m grading 1.20g/t (incl 1m of 9.67g/t), 200m to the north.


To the south of the Main Zone, hole GSRC081 has confirmed the extension to the north west of a high grade zone (19m at 15.29g/t uncut, 6.24g/t cut) previously intersected in hole GDRC003 (19m at 13.60g/t uncut, 6.39g/t cut).


Chip channel sampling 500m to the north west has also intersected grade on what is interpreted to be the north west extension of mineralisation with 14HC076 giving 14m grading 2.08g/t (incl 1m of 10.55g/t) and 14HC077, 40m grading 0.59g/t.


Eastern Zones


Work also continues on both the East 1 and 2 Zones and Far East Zone where trenching and drilling has intersected mineralisation over a strike length of 300-400m in each case (open). A further 16 holes have been drilled to date with assays received for one further drill hole from the East 1 Zone:

The area lying below sand cover between the East 2 zone and the Far East zone will be drilled in the next month as it has been the subject of significant artisanal activity in recent months and trenching in this area has defined wide low grade intercepts (14TR41B: 1224-1244m, 20m at 0.40g/t, 1304-1324m, 20m at 0.82g/t, 1408-1442m, 34m at 0.30g/t).


The Far East Zone has received little drilling to date (4 holes). Trenching showed several wide, low grade intercepts (14TR41B: 1610-1672, 62m at 0.54g/t (incl 24m at 0.96g/t), 14TR39E: 988.5-1021m, 32.5m at 0.38g/t, 1036-1066m, 30m at 0.67g/t) which were upgraded by drilling results from holes GSRC027 and 28 providing encouragement for further drilling in this area.


Exploration is also being aimed at expanding the footprint of the prospect within the extensions of the east-west corridor. Of note are the results of a chip channel line (14HC90), north east of the Far East Zone which returned 105m grading 0.95g./t. This area is currently the subject of follow up sampling.


In addition, little work has been done on areas that are under sand cover and we are now expanding our trenching programme at GSS to test the strike extent of the various mineralized zones into areas of cover.


Over 4,000 samples representing over 3,000m of drilling and exploration samples remain at and en-route to the laboratory. Orca is also actively evaluating an additional twelve early stage targets at Block 14 within a 20km radius of GSS.


Simon Jackson, President & CEO said "We continue to be excited by ongoing exploration results at Block 14 and in particular at Galat Sufar South. Our exploration team is working extremely hard to delineate the various mineralized zones that we have discovered. Orca remains in a very strong position with a large, highly prospective land position, an experienced exploration team with an impressive track record and a healthy balance sheet including approximately $60 million in cash."
