Premium Exploration Re-Evaluates Historic Drilling; Identifies High-Grade Underground Potential and Initiates Preliminary Economic Study

07.01.2014  |  The Newswire

January 7, 2014, Vancouver, British Columbia - Premium Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: PEM; OTC Pink Current: PMMEF) ("Premium" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has identified a higher-grade feeder structure in the Friday zone, which is located in the southwest portion of the Idaho Gold Project. This structure, which became apparent after an extensive review and re-evaluation of historical drilling results, was cut by 36 drill holes and is defined by more than 60 separate intercepts with gold assays of 6 grams/ton or higher, over intervals of at least 1.5 meters. The historical drill results were previously disclosed by the Company in its National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report, dated effective May 31, 2012 (the "Report"), which is available on www.sedar.com under the Company's profile.

The Company's re-evaluation of historical drill results from the Friday zone also confirmed that there are two distinct zones of mineralization, an upper and a lower zone, at depths of 150 and 600 feet respectively, and that both zones are open down-dip and along strike. The re-interpretation has yielded a number of high-priority drilling targets that the Company has commenced to drill in a 10 to 12 hole program. The aim of the program is to increase the existing Friday zone resource base by infilling and offsetting high-grade intercepts in both upper and lower zones. The first hole has been completed and assays are pending.

A cross section from a July 21st, 2010 press release has been included below to show the mineralization in the upper and lower zones. Upon receipt of assays, the Company will update this cross section and associated map.

Note that there is no assurance that the proposed drilling will result in the establishment of a resource of any size or in commercial grades or quantity. Readers are cautioned to review the Report cited above for technical disclosure on the Company's Idaho Gold Project.

Premium Begins Preliminary Economic Study Envisioning Underground Mining

The Company has also begun a preliminary economic study envisioning underground mining using ramp mining techniques and has identified a milling and processing facility in Northern Idaho which is fully permitted, operable and is amenable to a toll milling arrangement for treatment of the ores. Discussions with the managers of this facility have begun. The trucking distance is approximately 275 miles one way and quotes and rates on trucking the mined resources from the mine to the processing facility have been obtained and are estimated at $38/ton.

Mr. Baughman commented, "I am very pleased to have joined the Company at this juncture. I believe the high grade at Friday could be the key to unlocking the entire Orogrande gold trend to development."
