12.12.2013  |  CNW
HALIFAX, Dec. 12, 2013 - Brigus Gold Corp. ("Brigus" or the "Company") (NYSE MKT: BRD) (TSX: BRD) reports additional drilling results from its ongoing drill program at the Contact Zone on the Grey Fox project along with the discovery of a new hanging wall zone.

"This new zone further confirms that the Grey Fox project is open for expansion in all directions," said Howard Bird, Brigus' Senior Vice President of Exploration. "Three drill rigs will systematically test this new hanging wall zone for the remainder of the year."


Highlights from the Contact Zone & New Hanging Wall Zone which both remain open for expansion:

All assays are capped at 100 gpt gold, average gold grades over core length widths

The Contact Zone mineralized corridor consists of a 400 metre strike length steeply dipping gold mineralized Main Fault Contact between the north-south trending metasediments and mafic volcanic rocks. The zone is open to the north and down-dip. The Contact Zone corridor also includes multiple parallel hanging wall and footwall gold mineralized zones. The new hanging wall zone discovery is located approximately 250 metres east of the Main Fault Contact Zone.

The 147, Contact and Grey Fox South Zone all occur within close proximity of each other and provide Brigus with near term production growth opportunities because of their proximity to the Black Fox Mine infrastructure.

Details of the most recent Contact Zone drill holes and New Hanging Wall Zone are listed in Appendix 1 and the drill-hole location map is included in Appendix 2.

Surface drilling was conducted by Norex Drilling and was supervised by the Brigus exploration team. All sample analyses reported herein were performed by Polymet Labs of Cobalt, Ontario, which is ISO 9001:2000 certified in North America using standard fire assay procedures.
