SAS: Recent Drilling Confirms the Extension of the 147 Zone Mineralization onto the Hislop Mine Property

10.06.2014  |  Newsfile

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 10, 2014) - St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (TSX: SAS) (OTCQX: STADF), ("SAS" or the "Company") is pleased to announce recent drill results from the Hislop North Project ("Hislop North"), northwest of the Hislop Mine, and the Hislop V2 zone ("V2 Zone").

HIGHLIGHTS OF DRILLING RESULTS (Refer to Figure 1 for a Plan View of Hislop North and V2 Zone drilling results)

Hislop North (147 Extension)

  • H14-006: 0.88 g/t Au over 50.5 metres

  • H14-012: 2.96 g/t Au over 43.1 metres, including 9.20 g/t Au over 10.2 metres

  • H14-013: 17.87 g/t Au over 6.5 metres (9.28 g/t Au uncut), including 31.43 g/t Au over 3.5 metres (15.47 g/t Au uncut)

  • H14-014: 6.76 g/t Au over 12.2 metres, including 18.49 g/t Au over 2.7 metres

V2 Zone

  • HS14-001: 4.70 g/t Au over 3.9 metres, including 7.76 g/t Au over 1.9 metres

Notes:
All lengths reported at Hislop North are reported as core length, as true width is not available at this time. Assays at Hislop North and Hislop V2 zone are cut to 32.00 g/t Au.

"The continuation of positive results being generated from the Hislop Property is very encouraging", said Duncan Middlemiss, President & CEO of SAS. "The additional drill results from Hislop North support the thesis that the Grey Fox and 147 zones (traced from the neighbouring property) cross the claim boundary and we are seeing good potential to identify resources by year end. Additionally the V2 Zone results demonstrate the highly prospective nature of the Hislop Property and exploration work will continue throughout 2014."

Hislop North Project

Phase 2 drilling continued along the northern Hislop Property boundary (aimed at following-up on the southerly strike extension of the 147 zone). To date, in 2014, a total of 17 holes totaling approximately 3,700 metres were drilled using one surface rig. Near surface intersections over significant widths were intercepted in hole H14-012, which returned 2.96 g/t Au over 43.1 metres and hole H14-006, which returned 0.88 g/t Au over 50.5 metres.

These intercepts are hosted within a brecciated albitic mafic volcanic with significant quartz veining, carbonate stringers and disseminated pyrite. The recently reported mineralized intercepts occur at surface, with hole H14-012 being collared in the mineralized zone. Recent drilling was conducted on an 50 metre by 50 metre drill pattern, with the objective of following up on 2013 drill results. This recent phase of drilling has traced the 147 mineralized extension approximately 135 metres onto SAS property. The drilling has indicated that the 147 mineralized zone sub-crops on the SAS property and is covered by minimal overburden (1.5 - 2 metres). The Company expects to mechanically trench, geologically map and channel sample the mineralized zone as part of its summer exploration field program. Additional follow-up drilling is planned to continue to trace the 147 and Grey Fox mineralized extensions onto SAS property and follow-up on numerous other drill targets situated on the Hislop Property.

Primero Mining Corp.'s ("Primero") Grey Fox Property (which hosts the Grey Fox, 147 and Contact zones) is situated on the north side of the Hislop Property boundary and Primero (formerly Brigus Gold Corp.) has reported approximately 507,000 ounces of Indicated Resources (4.3Mt grading 3.7 g/t Au) and 229,000 ounces of Inferred Resources (1.5Mt grading 4.7 g/t Au). See compliant technical report as filed by Brigus Gold on SEDAR, "NI-43-101 Technical Report and Mineral Resources Estimate for the Grey Fox Project", dated July 30, 2013.

V2 Zone

The V2 Zone is located approximately 1 km south of the East Pit on the Hislop Property. This is a regional target which has been defined by historical drilling and remains open along strike to the east. The V2 Zone consists of gold bearing quartz veins hosted within a steeply dipping mafic volcanic unit. In 2014, two holes were drilled to target the easterly strike extension of the V2 Zone which resulted in extending the zone an additional 50 metres to the east. This zone remains open to the east with additional drilling planned to follow-up on the strike extension of this target.

Significant assay intercepts from the recent V2 Zone drill program are summarized in the table below:

Drilling, Assaying and QA/QC

Surface drilling was conducted by Forage Orbit Garant Drilling Services Inc. Analytical work for the Hislop North / 147 Extension was performed by AGAT Laboratories Limited situated in Mississauga, ON, an accredited lab. Diamond drill samples sent for analysis consisted of saw cut NQ-size core samples. SAS employs an industry standard QA/QC program consisting of certified reference standards and blanks that are inserted into the sample stream, which represent approximately 5% of the total sample population. Gold analysis is performed using a 30 gram fire assay with an ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry) finish.

The exploration programs on the Company's various mineral properties are under the supervision of Doug Cater, P. Geo., the Company's Vice-President, Exploration. Mr. Cater is a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101, and has reviewed and approved this news release.
