Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 21, 2014) - Bison Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: BGE) ("Bison Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of the 3rd year of a collaborative project between Bison Gold, the Manitoba Geological Survey and Waterloo University researchers.
The study focuses on the structural geology and controls on mineralization of the southeastern portion of the Rice Lake Greenstone Belt with a particular focus on Bison Gold’s Central Manitoba Ogama-Rockland Structural Corridor. This same corridor produced the Company’s maiden Mineral Resource Estimate. The estimate was classified as an inferred mineral resource and totals 1.28 million tonnes with a grade of 8.17 g/t Au for 337,000 ounces of contained gold at a cut-off grade of 2.50 g/t Au. The Mineral Resource Estimate and Report was prepared in compliance with National Instrument 43-101 requirements.
Doctoral candidate Xiaohui Zhui, along with his advisor Dr. Shoufa Lin of Waterloo University, are the principal researchers for the Project that also includes Dr. Scott Anderson of the Manitoba Geological Survey and technical personnel from Bison Gold.
"It's an exciting opportunity to combine the exceptional resources of the Manitoba Geological Survey, the University of Waterloo and Bison Gold for a doctoral study on the Central Manitoba Property," stated Amir Mousavi, CEO and Director of Bison Gold.
Preliminary findings indicate that gold mineralization at the Ogama-Rockland gold deposit are hosted by quartz-carbonate veins that have a close spatial association with northwest-trending, dominantly dextral shear zones and are mainly of the fault-fill type. However, north-trending extensional veins (mineralized) might also have a temporal and genetic relationship with this deformational event. "The relationship between the north-west trending shear veins and the north-trending extensional veins will provide important information to better aid the upcoming 2014 summer and fall exploration program on Bison Gold's Central Manitoba Property,” stated David Benson, P. Geo, Director of Bison Gold.
In 2012, Xiaohui presented his preliminary findings at the 2012 Manitoba Mining and Minerals Convention in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Preliminary results from the Project are reported in the Manitoba Geological Survey's Report of Activities and a link to Xiaohui's presentation from the Convention can be accessed from the government of Manitoba website:http://www.manitoba.ca/iem/mrd/geo/field/roa12pdfs/GS-5.pdf.
All exploration activities for Bison Gold are under the supervision and guidance of Director David C. Benson, P.Geo, and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Mr. Benson has reviewed and approved the technical portions of this news release.
