White Metal Resources Discovers Five New Zones on its Gunners Cove Property in Newfoundland
Thunder Bay, July 3, 2018 - White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV: WHM) ("White Metal" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received the assay results of 269 grab samples taken on the Gunners Cove Property (the "Property") and that, as a result, 5 new gold occurrences have been found. The new occurrences, named the Bazooka Zone, the Stephens Zone, the Glock Zone, the Thompson Zone, and the Weatherby Zone, are all located within 7 kilometres of the original Gunners Cove "discovery pit" (see news releases dated September 25, 2017 and November 20, 2017). Of significance, is the newly discovered Bazooka Zone, sampled across the interpreted strike for approximately one kilometre, and with assay results ranging from <5 ppb and up to 2194 ppb Au (2.194 grams per tonne Au). The Bazooka Zone is described as graphitic horizon with greenschist alteration. Observations by the field crew confirm that there is consistent pyrite in forms of stringers, nodules and cubes across the entire width of the new zone. The Stephens Zone and the Glock Zone are described as pyrite nodules and cubes hosted in a black shale unit. Grab samples taken from these zones range from <5 ppb and up to 4552 ppb Au (4.552 grams per tonne Au). The Thompson Zone is located in the southeast part of Quirpon Island which lies approximately 3.6 kilometres to the northeast of the original Gunners Cove "discovery pit". Grab samples from the new Thompson Zone, hosted in a black shale unit with pyrite nodules and cubic pyrite, returned assays ranging from <5 ppb and up to 3087 ppb Au (3.087 grams per tonne Au). Please see Maps showing the new zones on the Company's web site at www.whitemetalres.com.
Other precious metals and base metals, such as silver, copper and molybdenum, are also associated with gold mineralization at the Gunners Cove Property.
The Company is very pleased with the results from the most recent prospecting program and has now expanded the gold mineralization some 3.6 kilometres to the north of the original Gunners Cove "discovery pit" and 8.46 kilometres to the south-southeast, for a total strike length of approximately 12.68 kilometres. As a result of the latest assays results, Company personnel have returned to the Property to evaluate the new showings and outline plans for the next round of exploration work.
Recent work by White Metal at the Gunners Cove Property has extended the discovery area substantially. It should be noted that the Property has not seen comprehensive exploration work in the past and the number of new gold discoveries found to date by the vendor of the Property and White Metal make the Gunners Cove Property an excellent target to continue actively seeking an economic gold deposit.
Gold was initially discovered in the Gunners Cove area in September 2017 when the Company outlined a large area of approximately 15 square-kilometres of anomalous gold and other metals associated with pyrite-nodules and pyrite stringers, and hosted by black shale. This initial area of discovery has been expanded by the recent prospecting programme.
The Company cautions investors that grab samples are selected samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization on the Property.
