Yale Resources Ltd. Starts Drilling at Dos Naciones
The first two planned holes are being drilled in the La Espanola skarn target where previous sampling by Yale returned the following (see news release dated Oct. 29, 2008):
Sample Target Type Width (m) Cu (%) Au (g/t) Ag (g/t)
464327 La Espanola skarn Chip channel 2.0 1.19 0.24 26.8
464328 La Espanola skarn Chip channel 2.0 0.78 0.21 10.5
464329 La Espanola skarn Chip channel 2.0 0.95 0.35 13.3
145004 La Espanola skarn Chip channel 1.0 0.97 0.34 16.8
The third hole is targeted on the Dos Naciones skarn zone, located approximately 3.25 km southwest of La Espanola. This is another zone with multiple historic workings and previous sampling by Yale (see news release dated Oct. 29, 2008) returned the following results:
Sample Target Type Width (m) Cu (%) Au (g/t) Ag (g/t)
464319 Eastern skarn Chip channel 2.0 0.71 0.15 12.4
464321 Eastern skarn Chip channel 2.0 1.51 0.43 29.9
464322 Eastern skarn Chip channel 1.75 0.80 0.05 2.3
464323 Eastern skarn Chip channel 1.70 0.51 0.10 4.2
464324 Eastern skarn Chip channel 1.80 1.22 0.15 9.5
464325 Eastern skarn Chip channel 2.50 0.84 0.06 3.6
464326 Eastern skarn Chip channel 2.10 0.65 0.04 4.0
The fourth drill hole is planned to test a set of silver-lead veins, located 300 metres to the east of the Dos Naciones skarn, that are seen in various exposures over an area of approximately 100 metres by 50 metres. There are numerous historic mines on at least two levels that have collapsed over time. Two samples were taken from the mineralized dumps at the mouths of these workings (see news release dated Feb. 10, 2009) returned:
- 256.0 g/t silver and 4.45 % lead, and
- 182.0 g/t silver and 3.29 % lead as well as 0.61 g/t gold.
The NI 43-101 compliant Dos Naciones property is host to multiple mineralized skarn bodies that occur on the eastern and southern margins of a regional magnetic anomaly that measures 2 km in diameter. The anomaly coincides with an altered intrusive body which locally contains disseminated pyrite base metal sulphides. The property has not been drilled since 1994.
About Yale Resources:
Yale Resources utilizes the project generator business model to maximize its exposure to discovery while minimizing shareholder risk. Yale currently has eight projects in its portfolio of which six are optioned out with commitments totalling approximately $1.5 M in expenditures during the next 12 months. At the same time Yale continues to work on its non-optioned properties as well as reviewing new projects.
Ian Foreman, P.Geo, is the Qualified Person, according to National Instrument 43-101, for the Dos Naciones Property and is responsible for the technical data mentioned in this news release.
All of the samples mentioned in this release were prepared and analyzed by ALS Chemex at their labs in Hermosillo and Vancouver and generally consisted of 2-4 kg of material. Gold analyses were performed by 30 gram fire assay with an AA finish. Silver and base metals were analyzed as part of a multi-element ICP package using an aqua regia digestion; samples with more than 100 g/t silver, 1% copper and/or 1% zinc (over limit) were re-analyzed using ALS Chemex’s ‘ore grade’ detection limits.
On behalf of the Board,
