Golden Dory Resources / Metals Creek Resources Reports Widest Intercepts To Date from Gabbro Lake Iron Ore Discovery in the Labrador Trough; Diamond Drill Hole GL12-5 Cuts 125.17 metres grading 28.28% Fe
All holes intersected iron formation with assayed thicknesses up to 125.17 metres
- Consistent grades with significant thicknesses of higher grade mineralization
- Only one of four major target areas tested to date
The complete set of preliminary results is summarized in the following table:*GL12-05 ended in mineralization at 314.15 metres and is scheduled for deepening. All thicknesses reported above are core lengths, true thickness not known at this time.
Kevin Keats, President and CEO of Golden Dory, commented; “The results from the first ever drill program at Gabbro Lake have exceeded our expectations, we have made a new discovery in the Labrador Trough with grades and thicknesses comparable to other projects in the region. With significant targets yet to be tested, we are confident other discoveries will be made.”
Golden Dory, the project operator, can earn a 70% interest in the project as announced on May 16, 2012. The two companies will form an operating JV once Golden Dory has earned the 70% interest whereby Metals Creek will hold the remaining 30% (see news release May 16, 2012).
The Gabbro Lake Project is strategically located in the eastern portion of the Labrador Trough, 50 km from the rail line servicing the Schefferville mining camp and 8 km from an all-weather access road. Within the Gabbro Lake property, the magnetic data defines the targets as a structurally folded and faulted iron formation and shows a number of areas that may be thickened by the structural complexity. Work carried out by the joint venture, the first ever on the property, included airborne geophysics which outlined four significant “magnetic high” target areas, Anomalies A to D (see geophysical map on homepage at www.goldendoryresources.com).
All samples submitted for assay were delivered by Golden Dory personnel to Activation Laboratory’s prep lab in Goose Bay, Labrador. Pulps were then forwarded to Activation Laboratory’s facility in Ancaster, Ontario for analysis by XRF.
