Beaufield to Drill Urban After Spring Break-up
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Apr 19, 2016) - Beaufield Resources Inc. ("Beaufield") (TSX VENTURE:BFD) reports that it has completed winter drilling on behalf of Urbana Corporation ("Urbana") (TSX:URB) (TSX:URB.A) (CSE:URB) (CSE:URB.A) for its Urban township property, Quebec.
The drill program will resume in May on Beaufield's property and follow-up on recently discovered Lucky 7 zone where 7.86 g/t gold over 6 metres was intersected near surface in an October 2015 drill program (BFD news release, December 8th, 2015). Other targets priority targets will also be tested on Beaufield's Urban property.
Urbana's property shares an important common boundary with Beaufield, where numerous gold showings are known to exist. The unusually warm winter weather resulted in slower drilling than anticipated and the drill planned to mobilize onto the Beaufield side was stopped for spring break-up. It will resume as soon as ground conditions permit.
On the Urbana property, eleven drill holes totaling 1,621 metres concentrated on a series of geophysical anomalies located near the Beaufield/Urbana common boundary. 5 drill holes were collared within 100 metres of the common boundary where strong chargeability anomalies had been identified by a joint induced polarization completed last year. No historical drilling had previously been recorded in these areas.
Drilling was located approximately 8 kilometres southwest of the nearby Windfall gold project, where geological features are similar. The underlying Archean volcano-sedimentary sequences of the urban property also presents strong similarities with the Abitibi mining camp. Historical data for the area indicates the presence of numerous gold occurrences following different mineralized trends that cross both properties.
Beaufield's 100%-owned property totals 14,886 hectares and is centrally located within the Urban-Barry camp.
