KINGSTON, ON, Oct. 16, 2014 /CNW/ - Murgor Resources Inc. (TSXV: MGR) ("Murgor") announced today that it has staked an additional 16 unit claim covering 256 hectares to cover the possible extension of a significant gold in soil anomaly at its Gullrock property in Red Lake, Ontario. The Gullrock property is contiguous with Goldcorp's Red Lake property, approximately 10 kilometres SW and on strike with the Red Lake Mine.
In July 2014, Murgor carried out a B-horizon soil geochemistry survey consisting of 535 samples to cover an area located within a SE-trending structure known as "the Mine Trend", a structural lineament that hosts the Campbell, Red Lake, Cochenour-Willans and MacKenzie Gold Mines. The soil geochemistry survey covered the same area on which a number of prospective Induced Polarization geophysical anomalies were located by Murgor in a previous survey. The soil geochemical survey outlined at least four robust gold in soil anomalies that coincide with IP anomalies.
"The Red Lake district has always been an exciting area to explore and the results from this gold in soil survey at Gullrock show great potential," said Andre Tessier, President and CEO of Murgor Resources. "It's always exciting when you can outline robust soil geochemical anomalies with geophysical anomalies and the fact that these anomalies are on strike with the Red Lake deposit makes them that much more exciting."
The anomalies are described below (see also Murgor's press release of August 18, 2014). The additional claim staked by Murgor in August 2014 was meant to cover the potential NW extension of Anomaly A.
1) Anomaly A
- 500m of strike length and up to 100m in width (open to the west).
- Gold values from 2 to 35 times background (6-95ppb gold).
- Coinciding anomalies in Ag, Te, Sn, As and Cu.
- Coinciding with a suspected weak Induced Polarization (IP) anomaly.
2) Anomaly B
- 500m of strike length and up to 150m in width.
- Gold values from 2 to 40 times background (6-108ppb gold).
- Coinciding anomalies in As, Pb and Cu.
- Coinciding with a weak chargeability and strong resistivity IP anomaly.
3) Anomaly C
- Complex shape anomaly 300m x 250m in size.
- Gold values from 2 to 28 times background (6-71ppb gold).
- Coinciding anomalies in Ag, As, Sb and Pb.
- Coinciding with a complex array of 3 IP anomalies with chargeability ranging from weak to strong and resistivity ranging from weakly conductive to resistive.
4) Anomalies D (east and west)
- Each 100m of strike length and up to 50m in width.
- Gold values from 7 to 32 times background (17-80ppb gold).
- Coinciding anomalies in Te, As, and locally Ag, Pb and Sb.
- Coinciding with a strong chargeability and conductive IP anomaly.
Future work is planned at Gullrock contingent on financing availability.

About the Gullrock Property
Gullrock Property consist of thirteen mining claims covering 2,161 hectares adjoining Goldcorp's Red Lake property to the east, ten kilometres on strike with the Red Lake Gold Mine. The Gullrock Property covers a strike extent of over seven kilometres of what is known as the "Mine Trend", a structural lineament that hosts the Campbell, Red Lake, Cochenour-Willans and MacKenzie Gold Mines where more than 20 million ounces of gold have been mined to date (www.goldcorp.com). The Gullrock Property also covers the same stratigraphic units as the Campbell and Red Lake Mines, including mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks of the prolific Balmer Assemblage, immediately north of the unconformity with the younger rocks of the Confederation Assemblage. The Balmer Assemblage hosts all the major producers of the Red Lake Belt. Despite the geological setting of the Gullrock Property which is very similar to the Red Lake Mine setting, the Gullrock Property has seen very limited exploration work and its exploration potential is deemed excellent.

The technical information in this news release has been reviewed by Mr. Andre C. Tessier, P.Geo, a qualified person in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in National Instrument 43-101. Geochemical analyses were performed at Activation Laboratories Ltd in Thunder Bay Ontario. Gold was analyzed by fire assay with Atomic Absorption finish while all other elements were analyzed by total digestion ICP. Any assay greater than 3000ppb were redone with fire assay and finished using a gravimetric micro balance.
