Summary of 2015 Exploration at the Frasergold Project, British Columbia

VANCOUVER, Jan. 11, 2016 /CNW/ - Eureka Resources Inc. ("Eureka" or the "Company") (TSXV: EUK) announced today that it has completed an analysis of our 2015 exploration program at the Frasergold deposit, located approximately 100 kilometers east of Williams Lake, British Columbia. The program consisted of geochemical sampling to extend existing grids along trend of the known gold mineralization to the northwest, and a detailed interpretation of data collected from a 2007 airborne geophysical program, which was never subjected to detailed interpretation.

Soil sampling and airborne geophysical interpretation were completed in 2015 over an extension of the Main Zone an additional 6 kilometers to the northwest. This was done to establish the presence and location of the mineralized zone over this projected length.

The recent interpretation of the 2007 airborne EM data over the Main Zone noted the presence of a specific conductive marker horizon believed to be related to the known gold mineralization in the Main Zone. This marker horizon has been projected a distance of 5 kilometers to the northwest, interrupted by at least two offsetting cross-faults, in an area of limited to no exploratory drilling.  Soil sampling has confirmed the existence of irregular, but strongly anomalous gold-in-soil anomalies over this same 5 kilometer strike length. 

"We are very pleased with these results that reveal the potential for gold mineralization in an area of the property that is underexplored," stated Michael Sweatman, President of Eureka. "From this interpretation, we plan to develop new targets for a future drilling program."

Drilling from 1983 – 2008 in the 3 kilometer strike length of the Main Zone, indicates the Main Zone contains a Measured plus Indicated resource of 15,170,000 tonnes @ .776 grams/tonne gold (376,000 ounces) as well as an Inferred resource of 27,493,000 tonnes @ 0.716 grams/tonne gold (634,000 ounces) at a cut-off of 0.5 grams/tonne. The recent geochemical program and detailed geophysical interpretation has provided an additional 5 kilometer strike length of exploration potential.

The projected zone is in an area of deep overburden (20 – 90 meters), therefore allowance for downhill dispersion of soil values is necessary. The geophysical interpretation has provided the specific targets required for drilling.

The airborne geophysical survey consisted of a total of 1,348.5 line kilometers, with lines spaced at 100 meter intervals. EM and magnetic data were collected over an area of 11,000 hectares, which was the size of the Frasergold project in 2007. Hawthorne Gold Corp. was the operator of the project during this period. In addition to the above, EM interpretation indicates an extension of the mineralized zone to the southeast a distance of 4 kilometers. Soil sampling over this extension is now warranted. Modeling of the magnetic data has resulted in the indication of two strong anomalies indicate the presence of porphyry copper and/or gold mineralization.
