Acadian Announces Initial Mineral Resource Estimate for the Hudson Zone, Fifteen Mile Stream Deposit

04.06.2013  |  CNW
HALIFAX, June 4, 2013 - Acadian Mining Corporation ("Acadian" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of a NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Hudson Zone at its wholly owned Fifteen Mile Stream gold deposit. The Hudson Zone is located approximately 700 metres west of the Main (Egerton-McLean) Zone. The estimate indicates 75,000 ounces of gold in the inferred category at Hudson with an average grade of 1.61 g/T Au at a cut off of 0.7 g/T Au (Table 1). The resource estimate was completed by Snowden Group and supervised by Dr. Simon Dominy, Executive Consultant.


Table 1: Hudson Zone Mineral Resource Estimate, 2013

Cut off g/T Au 	Tonnes 	Grade g/T Au 	Ounces Au
0.5 2,005,000 1.33 86,000
0.7 1,440,000 1.61 75,000
1.0 975,000 1.99 62,000

- The total inferred resource at the Fifteen Mile Stream project (including Main Zone and Hudson Zone) now stands at 7.44 million tonnes grading 1.6 g/T Au for 383,000 ounces of gold in the inferred category (at a 0.7 g/T Au cut off)

- Strong exploration potential exists at the project - an extensive strike length measuring over 3 kilometres has been identified as having potential to host mineralization in the Fifteen Mile Stream project area

- An updated resource estimate based on a new geologic model is underway for Acadian's wholly owned Beaver Dam project, which is located near the Fifteen Mile Stream project


Mineralization in the Hudson Zone is largely confined to the same mineralized stratigraphic sequence defined in the Main Zone and the reported Mineral Resource Estimate is constrained to a wireframe of this sequence. The estimate is based on 20 diamond drill holes, four of which were drilled by the company in 2011, and a total of 1,951 assays within the mineralized domain. Due to the stratigraphic control on mineralization and the complex folding of the deposit the mineralized stratigraphy was unfolded prior to resource estimation. The method of estimation was ordinary kriging using a top cut of 27 g/T, a composite length of 1 metre and a block size of 25 by 10 by 10 metres.

The satellite Hudson Zone is located approximately 700 metres west of the Main (Egerton-McLean) Zone where an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate completed in 2012 defined 308,000 ounces of gold in the inferred category with an average grade of 1.6 g/T Au and at a cut off of 0.7 g/T Au (Table 2; press release 05-12, June 19, 2012). Combined, a total of 383,000 ounces of gold in the inferred category have been defined at the Fifteen Mile Stream project at a 0.7 g/T Au cut off.


Table 2: Main (Egerton-McLean) Zone Mineral Resource Estimate, 2012

Cut off g/T Au 	Tonnes 	Grade g/T Au 	Ounces Au
0.5 8,300,000 1.3 347,000
0.7 6,000,000 1.6 308,000
1.0 4,422,788 1.84 261,513

Further infill drilling is planned for both the Main (Egerton-McLean) and Hudson Zones to improve the resource category from Inferred to Indicated status, and exploration drilling is planned to potentially expand the mineralized area. An extensive strike length measuring over 3 kilometres has been identified as having potential to host mineralization in the Fifteen Mile Stream area.
