CFI Announces Assay Results From 3 Diamond Drill Holes, 1 Hole Intersecting 5 Separate Mineralized Zones Within the AGS Structure, One Vein Having an Average Grade of 39.90% CaF2 Over 9.42 Metres

13.11.2013  |  Marketwire
ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND -- (Marketwired - Nov. 13, 2013) - Canada Fluorspar Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CFI) (OTC:CNDFF) ("CFI" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the 11th set of assay results under the Company's Phase 3 diamond drilling program from three drill holes on its AGS Vein property (formerly Grebes Nest). One drill hole, GS-13-42, located 100 metres northwest of previously reported drill holes GS-13-21 (press release dated August 20, 2013), GS-13-22 (press release dated September 18, 2013) and GS-13-23 (press release dated October 8, 2013) cored five separate intersections down dip within a wide AGS Vein structure: the first intersection having an average grade of 39.22% CaF2 over 2.35 metres; the second intersection having an average grade of 77.90% CaF2 over 3.31 metres; the third intersection having an average grade of 26.79% CaF2 over 3.00 metres; the fourth intersection having an average grade of 39.90% CaF2 over 9.42 metres; and the fifth intersection having an average grade of 42.91% CaF2 over 5.80 metres. There were two additional drill holes, GS-13-43, located about 50 metres southeast of previously reported drill holes, GS-13-07 (press release dated July 11, 2013), GS-13-09 (press release dated July 18, 2013), and GS-13-10 (press release dated August 6, 2013) and GS-13-44, located on the same plane as drill hole GS-13-43 and about 50 metres from drill holes GS-13-07, GS-13-09, and GS-13-10. The AGS Vein structure is situated approximately 4 kilometers from the former Tarefare Mine and less than 6 kilometers from the former Blue Beach North Mine (see location map below). The three drill holes discussed in this press release are located in the vicinity of Grebes Nest Pond within the AGS property grid area. Ground geophysical (magnetometer and EM) survey results indicate that the mineralized structure has potential to extend for more than 4,000 metres along strike.

Drill hole GS-13-42 was inclined at -45° and oriented at azimuth 34°, drill hole GS-13-43 was inclined at -50° and oriented at azimuth 34° and drill hole GS-13-44 was inclined at -50Γü░ and oriented at azimuth 34°.

Assay Results

Drill hole GS-13-42 tested the strike extension of the AGS Vein underneath the southeast side of Grebes Nest Pond and intersected five fluorite mineralized zones within the AGS structure down dip: the first intersection having an average grade of 39.22% CaF2 over 2.35 metres; the second intersection having an average grade of 77.90% CaF2 over 3.31 metres; the third intersection having an average grade of 26.79% CaF2 over 3.00 metres; the fourth intersection having an average grade of 39.90% CaF2 over 9.42 metres; and the fifth intersection having an average grade of 42.91% CaF2 over 5.80 metres. All five mineralized zones are believed to be contained within the larger AGS mineralized vein structure.

Drill hole GS-13-43 was designed to test the AGS Vein structure down depth in the vicinity of drill holes GS-13-07, GS-13-09, and GS-13-10 located 50 metres along strike to the northwest and drill holes GS-13-11, GS-13-12 and GS-13-26 located 50 metres along strike to the southeast. The drill hole intersected the AGS Vein having an average grade of 76.49% CaF2 over 3.86 metres.

Drill hole GS-13-44 tested a vein structure located south of the AGS Vein. The drill hole intersected the south vein structure having an average grade of 64.86% CaF2 over 3.34 metres.

"The AGS Vein, primarily hosted in metasediments and the first major fluorspar vein discovered in the St. Lawrence area since the Director Vein in 1937, continues to produce promising results," stated Lindsay Gorrill, President and CEO of the Company. "The wide structure containing the AGS Vein and the associated parallel veins in the vicinity give reason for optimism surrounding future exploration in this area."


Geological Interpretation

CFI has received assay results for samples collected from drill holes GS-13-42, GS-13-43 and GS-13-44 located along the western part of the AGS property. Two of the drill holes intersected mineralization that has been interpreted to be the AGS Vein while the third drill hole tested mineralization associated with a parallel vein to the south of the AGS Vein.

Drill hole GS-13-42, located 100 metres northwest of drill holes GS-13-21, GS-13-22, and GS-13-23, is located within the boundaries of Grebes Nest Pond and was drilled to test the AGS Vein structure underneath the pond along strike and down depth in this area. Five separate vein intersections were identified down dip within a structure believed to be the AGS Vein. The five intersections occurred between 135 metres to 170 metres below surface. This drill hole verified that the AGS Vein structure continues underneath Grebes Nest Pond and appears to contain an extensive mineralized zone. The five veins were hosted in metasediments.

Drill hole GS-13-43, located about 50 metres southeast of drill holes GS-13- 07, GS-13-09, and GS-13-10, intersected the AGS vein structure at about 100 metres vertically below surface and was hosted in metasediments

Drill hole GS-13-44, located on the same plane as drill hole GS-13-43, was designed to test a vein identified in previous drill holes to the south of the AGS Vein. The drill hole was successful in intersecting the south vein structure at about 60 metres below surface and about 110 metres to the south of the AGS Vein. An additional drill hole, GS-13-45, was drilled below drill hole GS-13-43 to test the down dip extension of the south vein structure. Results from this hole are pending.

Preliminary interpretation of the drill results indicates that the western part of the target area of the mineralized AGS Vein structure maintains a relatively uniform width along strike and pinches slightly down depth to a vertical distance of between 150 and 200 metres below surface. The drill intersections indicate very competent core and good continuity of mineralized material along strike. CFI notes that most of the mineralized material is hosted by metasedimentary rocks (interbedded siltstones and shales) whereas most of the mineralized material at the major fluorspar veins in the general area - the historic Director, Tarefare, and Blue Beach North Mines - are hosted by the St. Lawrence Granite ("SLG"). The metasedimentary rocks in the St. Lawrence area are older than the SLG and early geological mapping indicates that the AGS property area, where the AGS Vein is located, is underlain by a series of stacked pink rhyolite sills and dykes, similar in composition to the SLG, which intruded the metasedimentary rocks. The present theory on the formation of this mineralized structure assumes that the fault zone was penecontemporaneous with the intrusion of the granite batholith. Subsequent uplifting caused by the intrusion of sills in the area resulted in the dilation of the existing structure permitting quartz/carbonate/fluorite bearing solutions to circulation through these structures.

The following table shows the detailed results of the 11th set of drill holes completed by CFI on the AGS Vein noted in Phase 3 of the Company's 2013 exploration diamond drilling program.

Assays on these drill holes were carried out at SGS Lakefield Laboratories ("SGS") of Lakefield, Ontario, using the Ion Selective Electrode method to determine the fluorite content in the low-grade samples and the Dual Calcium method for samples expected to contain high-grade values (i.e., those with significant visible fluorspar in the drill core).


Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QA/QC")

Check assay work by CFI includes insertion of duplicate samples and blanks with regular batches of mineralized samples of drill core. QA/QC work is also done at SGS, and results are reviewed and verified by CFI personnel. An independent geological consultant (Qualified Person) has submitted additional samples collected from the drill core for analyses.

Phase 1 of the 2013 exploration program was designed to assess the northern extension of the Director Vein structure. The six drill holes with assay results to date have shown that the fluorspar mineralization at the Director Vein extends further along strike and at depth from the old Aluminum Company of Canada ("Alcan") workings.

Phase 2 of the 2013 exploration program was designed to evaluate the southern extension of the Director Vein. A trenching program and a geophysical survey conducted in the area during 2012 identified the structure over a strike length of 1,000 metres. The current drill program was planned to evaluate the mineral potential, at depth, of the southern extension of Director Structure and to test the north extension of the adjacent Hares Ears Vein to the west.

Phase 3 of the 2013 exploration program was designed to evaluate the AGS Vein property (previously the Grebes Nest mineral property). Fluorite mineralization was identified in the 1940sand was exposed on the east side of Little Lawn Harbour where the structure is approximately 1 metre wide and dips to the north at -70 degrees. Prospecting in the late 1940s attempted to traced the structure, through a series of trenches, to the southeast for a reported distance of 3.2 kilometers. In the late 1940s, a 20 metre deep exploration shaft was sunk on a vein of green fluorite about 500 metres east of the coast. A drift was driven along the vein for 60 metres and a number of short cross-cuts were developed. In 1949, five short drill holes were completed approximately 1 km southeast of the shaft and to the south of the projected strike of the structure. These drill holes identified a number of narrow veins in the metasediments. Due to the remote location of the showing and the adequate reserves at the operating mines owned by Alcan, no additional work was undertaken.

Initial exploration information regarding the 2013 exploration program at Director Vein was included in the Company's press releases dated January 16, 2013 and March 12, 2013.

To date, six Phase 1 drill holes have been completed, together with 26 additional drill holes in Phase 2 (19 holes in south extension Director Vein and seven holes at Hares Ears Vein) and 48 drill holes in Phase 3 (AGS Vein area) of the 2013 exploration program. Assay results for remaining completed drill holes in Phase 3 are pending.

Historic exploration data indicates that there are more than 40 mineralized veins within the CFI property. The three prominent vein structures, however, are the Director Vein, Blue Beach North Vein, and the Tarefare Vein. Probable Reserves of the Blue Beach North and Tarefare veins total approximately 5.4 million tonnes at an average grade of 39.8% CaF2. These Mineral Reserves have been outlined to a vertical depth of 300 metres below the surface, but fluorspar mineralization extends further at depth. The key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, as well as other relevant information, including data verification, with respect to the Blue Beach North and Tarefare veins can be found in a NI 43-101 Technical Report prepared by the Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. dated March 6, 2013, which has been filed by the Company on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
