Cadan Encounters Further High Grade Gold Assays as it Reaches South Vein System
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/15/11 -- CADAN RESOURCES CORPORATION (TSX VENTURE: CXD)(FRANKFURT: A0MZ25) ('Cadan' or the 'Company') released today an update on the underground development of its T'Boli gold-silver mine.
The south crosscut from the advancing east decline has partially penetrated the 40m wide South Vein alteration system. An initial 8.6m section assayed 8.2gm/t gold. Individual veins within the South Vein system returned the following results:
Highlights:
Development Drive Sampling Returns
Including: 1.25m @ 134.0 g/t gold
2.1m @ 6.1 g/t gold
1.7m @ 28.1 g/t gold
1.6m @ 12.7 g/t gold
1.0m @ 21.5 g/t gold
1.85m @ 14.5 g/t gold
Old records show that further individual veins will be intersected as the crosscut completely exposes the 40m width of the South Vein alteration system. A poorly documented but prospective alteration system is known to exist some 70m further south. This system will be tested with underground drilling.
A major underground drilling program has been commenced utilizing two drills to expand the resource envelope and to upgrade the existing resource categories. The first hole of this program has been completed and has intersected a number of mineralized zones. One of these zones displayed visible free gold. Assays for the mineralized zones are pending. A full report on the underground drilling will be the subject of a forthcoming press release.
