PNG Gold Corporation-51.21 g/tonne Gold and 124.50 g/tonne Silver Over 2.50 Metres, Imwauna Main Structure, Papua New Guinea

23.05.2013  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/23/13 -- PNG Gold Corporation ("PNG Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: PGK) is pleased to announce gold and silver assay results from 11 diamond drill holes from Imwauna Main Structure. Several holes in Table #2 were previously announced on March 12, 2013 some of which contained only partial gold and silver assay results.


Table #1 highlights the assay results from hole IMH-272 which contain highly prospective gold grades, typical of low sulphidation epithermal deposits and known to occur along the Imwauna Main Structure from previous drilling programs. Since January 2013 the company has drilled 45 diamond drill holes for a total of 14,038.75 metres on the Imwauna Main Structure. Final assay results have been received for all of the holes noted in Table #2.

Key Highlights



-- Two year renewal of licences EL 1069 and EL 1091 completed.
-- First phase of drilling completed on the Imwauna Main Structure.
-- Equipment being mobilized to drill test EL 1069.
-- Personnel reduced during stand-down on EL 1091.
-- More assay results pending on approximately 52 diamond drill holes on EL
1091.


Diamond drilling has now tested the Imwauna Main Structure to over 250 metres below surface and demonstrates good continuity of the structure. Gold mineralization is directly related to epithermal quartz veining which varies in thickness throughout the structure. Higher-grade gold mineralization generally occurred in areas of greater quartz vein concentrations exhibiting multiple pulses of hydraulic brecciation.


The first phase of diamond drilling is now complete at Imwauna and further drilling stopped while the Company awaits receipt of all assays from this program. Upon completing a review of the results and the model, a second stage drilling plan will then be formulated for Imwauna. Also, during this period, one drill rig is being mobilized to test epithermal style gold mineralization on PNG Gold's 100% owned EL 1069. The proposed program will entail 1000-2000 metres of drilling to test known gold mineralization and related induced polarization chargeability and resistivity anomalies.


Assay results received are as follows:

All core samples are cut in half on-site and sent to our Alotau office for direct shipment to Intertek (ITS (PNG) Limited) laboratory in Lae, Papua New Guinea an ISO/LEC 17025 certified laboratory. Gold analysis is completed by a 50 gram charge, fire assay/AAS and for silver a 50 gram charge using two acide AAS. The company inserts a standard, blank and requests a duplicate sample be run in every batch of 20 samples. In addition, the lab inserts in-house blanks, standards and duplicates with each shipment. Data that fall outside the control limits are checked and repeated as necessary.


About the Normanby Island Projects


EL 1091 Imwauna


The Imwauna exploration licence -- EL 1091 -- is located on the north side of Normanby Island, approximately 80 kilometres northeast of Alotau, the provincial capital of Milne Bay province, eastern Papua New Guinea. The project consists of two main prospects, Imwauna and Kelas, along with numerous untested prospects. The Imwauna gold deposit is a high grade, near surface, low sulphidation, epithermal vein gold system. Gold mineralization ranges from 0.5 metres to 6.0 metres in the Imwauna Main structure. The Imwauna prospect remains open in the North and South at strike and at depth.


EL 1069 Sehulea


The Sehulea exploration licence - EL 1069 - is located north east of Imwauna on Normanby Island and contains several low sulphidation epithermal gold deposits which require additional drill testing. Previous results indicate the area contains extensive lower grade gold mineralization over intercepts of up to 60 metres core length with grades ranging between 1-2 g/tonne gold. Mineralization is associated with extensive silicification, disseminated, and semi-massive pyrite, with a positive correlation between higher pyrite concentrations and gold.
