Blind Creek Resources Ltd. Engages Consultants for 2017 Blende Zn-Pb-Ag Project Exploration Program
Vancouver, June 27, 2017 - Blind Creek Resources Ltd. (BCK: TSX-V) is pleased to announce that the Company has commissioned TerraLogic Exploration Inc. of Cranbrook, B.C. to oversee Phase I field exploration work at the Company's 100% owned Blende zinc-lead-silver Project in north-central Yukon. Blind Creek is positioning to conduct a 2-phase, 2017 exploration program at Blende next month that will entail geological mapping, sampling, and a 2,000 metre, Phase I diamond drill program to test deposit extensions and obtain representative mineralized material for additional metallurgical studies. Results from Phase I exploration will provide basis for Phase II resource estimation and zinc-lead-silver recovery projections, to be detailed in a NI 43-101 technical report later this year. The Company is pleased to announce that it has engaged Moose Mountain Technical Services, also of Cranbrook, B.C., to conduct this Phase II work.
Blind Creek's newly appointed President Brian P. Fowler, P.Geo., and resource stock analyst Mr. Daniel T. Cook of Bullmarketrun.com recently returned from a Blende property site visit conducted last week. "The size, scale and grade of the Blende zinc-lead-silver deposit, coupled with its geographical setting offer tremendous positives for any potential large-scale mining operation. I am very pleased with the exploration potential upside at Blende and the exceptional exploration team we have to advance our project. The Company anticipates an exciting exploration program at Blende this season," states Mr. Fowler.
