![Select Sands Corp: Resource Definition Infill Drilling at Sandtown Hits 110 ft. Thick Zone](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Seven drill holes completed out of 20 planned drill holes
- Drill hole P-07 intersected 110 feet (ft.) or 33.5 metres (m) of potential frac sand, ending in the zone (drill limits reached)
- Six of seven holes intersected potential frac sand intervals, averaging 68 feet (20.7 metres)
- Seven holes reported cover an area of 3937 ft. by 984 ft. (1200 m by 300 m)
- Current drilling is focused on the northern half of the 530-acres property
Seven drill holes have been completed, six of which intersected thick zones of the St. Peter Sandstone (SST) formation. The St. Peter SST is host to Tier-1 frac sand deposits, a necessary mineral used in the extraction of shale oil/gas. Holes are being drilled at approximately 600 ft (183 m) centres over an area of 3937 ft. by 984 ft. (1200m by 300m).

The company has released the Stim-Lab results (See SNS Feb 19, 2015 News Release) where its 40/70 and 100 mesh retuned 10K "crush" each meeting or exceeding the Tier-1 frac sand specifications as defined per the ISO 13503-2:2006/API RP 19C recommended practice for measurement of properties of proppants used in hydraulic fracturing and gravel-packing operations. These properties include sand sphericity and roundness, crush (K value), acid solubility, turbidity, and SiO2 (silicon dioxide) content.
The Stim-Lab results are posted on the company's website: www.selectsandscorp.com
"The Sandtown property has the potential to host a significant frac sand deposit," stated Rasool Mohammad. "Sandtown has the competitive location advantage of 650 rail miles closer to Texas/Louisiana oil/gas plays over Wisconsin sand mines."
