Falco Pacific Has Commenced Drilling on the Flavrian Property
Flavrian Central
The Flavrian Central prospect lies 500 meters south of the St. Jude Breccia intrusion and 1 km northwest of Falco Pacific's historic Quesabe gold mine (see NR 12-14 dated December 19, 2012). The area hosts a number of historic gold showings delineated by overburden trenching and channel sampling, grab samples and a small amount of diamond drilling. High-grade gold mineralization is typically associated with shear related quartz veins and pervasive alteration of the surrounding country rocks. Historic channel sample results from a 1938 St. Jude Gold Mines exploration program highlight the region's prospectivity (highlights include: 17.91 g/t gold over 0.61 m, 79.89 g/t gold over 0.61 m, 25.48 g/t gold over 0.61 m and a grab sample of 393.23 g/t gold1).
The area's geological setting is similar to the setting around the Upper Beaver gold-copper deposit located 40 km to the SW. This, in association with the presence of former gold producers within the Western Camp, the abundance of surface gold showings, and the area's overall underexplored nature, support the significant opportunity present.
Beauchastel Property Acquisition
As previously reported (see NR 12-14 dated December 19, 2012) the Company has entered into an LOI to acquire the Beauchastel property (the "Property") from Vior Inc. which is just west of Falco Pacific's historic Quesabe gold mine. As a correction, the Property is made up 34-claims opposed to 22 as previously reported for a total of 1,331 hectares. The Company expects to close the transaction in January 2013.
