International Samuel Exploration Corp. Builds Team to Advance its Golden Triangle and Williams Properties
Vancouver, Jan. 22, 2018 - International Samuel Exploration Corp. (TSXV: ISS) (FSE: RCF1) (OTC: ISSFF) (the "Company" or "International Samuel") is pleased to announce it's in advanced planning stages for the 2018 exploration program for the Williams Gold/Copper Porphyry Property ("Property"). Located northwest and on-trend from the Centerra's Kemess mine ("Kemess") and Amarc's Joy projects. The Williams gold property hosts two large exploration targets, the T-Bill prospect which is prospective for mesothermal style gold mineralization, and the GIC porphyry prospect which is prospective for porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum style mineralization.
The Company is intending to undertake a highly detailed induced polarization ("IP") geophysical survey on the property.
