White Metal Resources Options New Gold Discovery in Newfoundland
The Gunners Cove Property is a new precious metals discovery with no previous work completed other than selective grab samples collected during limited prospecting programs. Precious and base metal mineralization is associated with pyrite-rich accumulations/nodules in graphitic argillaceous black shale. Selective grab samples collected by the property vendor and submitted to the laboratory by the Company, returned values as high as 5.86 g/t gold, 8.0 g/t silver, 0.13% copper, and 375 ppm molybdenum. Follow-up sampling by White Metal yielded results of 10 ppb to 1480 ppb gold from 33 selective grab samples collected over an area measuring approximately 800 metres long by 350 metres wide. Based on these results, the Company staked an additional 580 claims to cover the prospective ground in the area. Additional results from the analysis of the grab samples are pending.
