Typhoon Exploration Carried Out Soil and Magnetic Ground Surveys in the Southern Part of the Fayolle Project

LAVAL, CANADA--(Marketwired - May 21, 2014) - Typhoon Exploration Inc. ("Typhoon") (TSX VENTURE:TYP) announces that it has completed an MMI™ survey in the southern part of the Fayolle Project, 100%-owned by Typhoon.

Highlights and results:

During the month of December 2013, an MMI™ soil survey and a ground magnetic survey were carried out in the southern part of the Fayolle property. This area is covered by volcanic rocks from the Malartic Group surrounded by the sedimentary formations of Lac Caste and Mont-Brun. A series of samples, anomalous in As, Bi, Cr, Cu, Sb and Te, in the 2008 humus survey, has motivated the continuation of exploration work in this area.

Standardized anomalous gold values were obtained and are concentrated in three areas along the Malartic Group which is well known to host altered dykes associated with gold bearing structures. The area targeted by the survey is entirely covered by clayey overburden making difficult the use of usual geophysical methods. The survey is composed of 100 metres widely spaced lines with samples taken at a predetermined depth. Results are standardized in function of the type of soil and pH principally.

These three anomalous areas correspond to the junction between E-W magnetic discontinuities and low magnetism NW-SE zones. As observed in the northern portion of the property, areas of low magnetism could correspond to intermediate dykes. The E-W discontinuities could be shear zones and where they intersect more competent intermediate dykes, areas of high structural porosity may have been created, then concentrating gold mineralization.

To support these results, Typhoon will pursue work in this sector.
