Canoe Mining Completes First Drill Program

OAKVILLE, ON, June 23, 2014 /CNW/ - Canoe Mining Ventures Corp. (TSXV: CLV)("Canoe Mining") is pleased to announce the completion of its first diamond drill program at its 100% owned Iron Lake Gold Project near White River, Ontario (for additional details see Canoe Mining Release dated May 22, 2014).

The 1,301m drill program was conducted on the Abbie Lake section of the Iron Lake Gold Project and targeted a 3km section of the Iron Lake Deformation Zone, a controlling structure for gold mineralization in the region.

The 10 drill holes completed by Canoe Mining intersected numerous sulphide zones as well as numerous gray and black quartz veins within a rock sequence similar to those found at the Mishi Mine, a Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. property located 8km southwest of Abbie Lake.  Canoe Mining's target selection for this drill program was based on induced polarization anomalies discovered in geophysical surveys conducted by Canoe Mining's subsidiary, 2299895 Ontario Inc., in 2012 near historic gold showings and intersections discovered by Tundra Gold Mines Ltd. between 1983 and 1988.

In addition to drilling, surface samples were collected from historic trenches, and a detailed mapping of Abbie Lake was completed. Over 400 samples were collected and sent to AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay for preparation and then to AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga for fire assay and inductively coupled plasma analysis.

Canoe Mining will provide further updates on this drill program as deemed necessary.
