Goldeye Drills More High Grade Gold Intercepts at RvG4 and Bernadette, Including 110 g/t Over 0.3 Metres and 131 g/t Over 0.3 Metres
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Apr 9, 2014) -
HIGHLIGHTS:
RVG4 ZONE | |
BK14-17 | 9.35 g/t over 4.51 metres, including 110 g/t over 0.3 metres and 19.9 g/t over 0.3 metres (core length; not capped) |
BERNADETTE ZONE | |
BK14-23 | 10.89 g/t over 3.85 metres, including 131 g/t over 0.3 metres (core length; not capped), from top of bedrock |
Goldeye Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GGY) is pleased to release the assay results for drillholes targeting three zones: RvG4 (BK14-17, BK14-20, BK14-21, BK14-22), BERNADETTE (BK14-04, BK14-23), and KNOLL (BK14-09, BK14-23).
RvG4 Zone
Numerous occurrences of visible gold were observed in previously reported BK14-18 (23.25 g/t over 3.97 metres). BK14-17 drilled from the same set-up but different azimuth returned gold assays of 110 g/t and 19.9 g/t within a composite zone assaying 9.35 g/t over 4.51 metres. Holes BK14-20, 21, and 22 were drilled to further delineate the zone. Hole BK14-20 returned assays of 6.63 g/t over 0.3 metres and 11.8 g/t over 0.4 metres within a composite zone assaying 2.36 g/t over 3.55 metres. BK14-22 returned an assay of 5.51 g/t over 0.67 metres. Holes 17, and 20 were drilled beneath a surface showing known as RvG4. Holes 18 and 22 were drilled approximately 25 metres along strike to the southeast of the RvG4 showing. Channel sampling of RvG4 by Goldeye in November 2013 returned gold values of 10.85 g/t over 1.58 metres and 21.64 g/t over 0.86 metres.
Bernadette Zone
Hole BK14-23 collared in highly anomalous gold values related to the Bernadette Zone. Visible gold was noted in cm scale grey quartz veinlets within weak to moderately bleached, silicified quartz-eye tuffs. The top of the hole assayed 10.89 g/t over 3.85 metres including 131 g/t over 0.3 metres.
Bernadette and RvG4 Zones would appear to be part of the same system as Knoll, but outboard of the intense, coherent alteration zone that characterizes Knoll. At Bernadette and RvG4, gold mineralization is characterized by fine visible gold in pyritic mm to cm scale quartz veinlets as well as crack-seal quartz tourmaline veins. The veins/veinlets are surrounded by discrete haloes of bleaching and silicification and biotitization of quartz-eye tuffs.
Knoll Zone
Gold values of 2.95 g/t over 4.1 metres including 6.6 g/t over 1.5 metres in BK14-09 and 1.28 g/t over 10.06 metres, including 2.38 g/t over 2.12 metres in BK14-23 represent the twelfth and thirteenth of thirteen drill holes reported to date at Knoll with significant gold values. Knoll shows consistent geology, pervasive strong to intense silica-carb-sericite alteration with higher gold values associated with intense quartz flooding/veining.

Blaine Webster states, "We continue to intersect significant gold values on all three showings we have explored to date. Knoll will be our priority going forward due to the continuity we are seeing; however the higher grade hits we are getting at RvG4 and Bernadette are compelling. These zones are close enough together that we are likely looking at one large gold system. Alteration/mineralized widths also appear to be improving at depth at Knoll and as we drill deeper, more of the Bernadette zones will be tested in the top portion of the holes."

The initial 2000 metre program was extended to 2219 metres, and the drill is now stored on site in anticipation of additional 2014 summer and fall drilling programs. Final logging, and sampling has been completed, with the final two holes available for release by mid-April. Additional geochemical assaying, mainly for silver, copper antimony and tungsten will commence once all gold assays have been received.
Comprehensive information about the Weebigee project, including, assays, plan maps, drill sections and drill data made, will be posted on Goldeye's website (www.goldeye.ca) today.
Project Logistics and QA/QC
All analyses reported in this release are from assay certificates which passed Activation Laboratories QA/QC procedures. All diamond drilling, logging and sampling was supervised in the field by David R. Jamieson, P.Geo. Drill core was logged at the Goldeye core facilities in Sandy Lake. Drill core was logged and samples marked off by Goldeye geological staff. Marked samples were cut by a diamond bladed core saw, with one half bagged in plastic for sampling and the remaining half archived at the Sandy Lake core facility. Standard and blank samples were included by Goldeye personnel in the sample stream at the core facility at a rate of approximately every 20 samples. All assays reported in this release have passed Goldeye's QA/QC program. Drill core in which visible gold was noted by the geologist was cut under the geologists supervision to facilitate equal representation of visible gold in both sampled and archived drill core. Where visible gold was noted only in one half of the cut core, this half was archived. Samples were placed in rice bags and shipped by Goldeye personnel by winter road to Red Lake. The samples were picked up in Red Lake by Activations personnel and delivered to Activation's Thunder Bay facility. Samples were fire assayed for gold. Any analysis greater than 5000 ppb was reassayed using a gravimetric finish. Activation Laboratories is a fully accredited laboratory and conforms to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 (ISO 9001) and CAN-P-1579 by the Standards Council of Canada. Assays reported in ppb were converted to g/t (grams gold per tonne of rock). Screen metallic assaying was used where visible gold was observed in drill core.

About the Weebigee Project
Goldeye's 100% owned Weebigee Project is located 227 kilometres north of Red Lake in Northwestern Ontario and is comprised of 363 claims totaling approximately 6000 hectares. The NW Arm claim block covers approximately 20% of the total project area and hosts the highest density of gold showings in the Sandy Lake Greenstone Belt.
The project is adjacent to Sandy Lake First Nation (population approx. 3,000) which has excellent infrastructure including an airport with daily direct flights to Winnipeg, Red Lake and Sioux Lookout and winter road connection to Red Lake. All weather access roads are located within one kilometre of the Knoll, Bernadette, RvG4 and Wavano areas. Goldeye recently signed a comprehensive Exploration Agreement with Sandy Lake First Nation and is pleased to be working closely with the community.
