Kerr Mines Inc. Provides Drill Results at Copperstone

14.10.2015  |  Marketwired
TORONTO, Oct 14, 2015 - Kerr Mines Inc. ("Kerr" or the "Company") (TSX:KER) is pleased to report that drilling has intersected the Lower Plate Zone that runs parallel to the main Copperstone Mine located in Western Arizona. Three of the holes completed in this phase cut gold-bearing mineralization as projected, highlighted by hole KER-15-02 which encountered 0.41 oz/t Au (13.9 g/T) over 6 feet (1.83 m). The drill holes were collared from two set- up locations within the Copperstone open pit. Drill results are summarized below:

* - KER-15-04 was drilled from a different set-up and was terminated prior to reaching the target zone.
** - True widths are estimated at 60%-80% of reported intersections.

The drilling campaign, which consisted of four diamond drill holes with a total core length of 3,040 feet, has confirmed and extended mineralization in the parallel Lower Plate Zone as well as adding an additional potential zone at the latite-phyllite contact. Both zones are open along dip and require additional exploration. The goal of this phase of drilling was to follow up on previous intersections and to extend the zone along strike and dip towards current underground access allowing for potential future development in conjunction with the main Copperstone zones.

The Lower Plate Zone is located approximately 300 to 500 feet to the footwall of the Copperstone main zones and runs parallel to the open pit and current underground development. All drill holes intersected a quartz latite porphyry hanging wall interval, followed by a strongly hematite-stained mineralized zone with copper oxide (chrysocolla) and some fault gouge present, and terminating in a foliated phyllite or tuff in the footwall.

QA/QC Procedures

Kerr has implemented a quality-control program to ensure best practice in the sampling and analysis of the drill core. Assays have been completed using a standard 30 gram fire assay at American Assay Laboratories. For samples that return a value greater than 10 grams per tonne gold, the sample is fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. HQ and NQ size drill core is saw cut and half the drill core is sampled in standard intervals. The remaining half of the core is stored in a secure location. Standards are inserted at every 12 samples to ensure quality control throughout the program. The drill core is shipped in security sealed bags for preparation and analysis at American Assay Laboratories at its facilities in Sparks, Nevada. American Assay Laboratories is accredited and registered ISO/IEC 17025:2005.
