Cache Exploration Anticipating Approval for Spring Drill Program at Kiyuk Lake
Vancouver, February 21, 2019 - Cache Exploration Inc. (the "Company", or "Cache" or "Optionor"), (TSX-V:CAY) is pleased to report that it has applied for a Land Use Permit ("LUP"), which will allow the Company to construct and operate an exploration camp is currently in progress and is expected to be approved in time to stage a spring drill program at Kiyuk Lake. The Kiyuk Lake Project, located in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut, has a Type B water licence that is valid until June 11, 2022. The Type B licence, issued by the Nunavut Water Board, allows the Company to conduct drilling and exploration related activities while utilizing local water sources for camp and drilling use.
Upon receipt of the LUP, the Company with its joint venture partner Margaret Lake Minerals plans to construct an exploration camp in late March followed by up to 5,000 meters of diamond core drilling in Spring 2019. Ground magnetic surveys to further define high priority drill targets are also being planned. The drill program will focus on expanding high-grade Rusty zone along strike and to depth as well as testing the highest priority drill targets.
About Cache Exploration's Kiyuk Lake Gold Property
The Kiyuk Lake Property covers 590 square kilometers in Southwest Nunavut. The 2017 drill program confirmed and extended a known target and discovered significant gold mineralization at a new target area, East Gold Point (see Company Press Release, October 26, 2017).
At Rusty Zone the Company not only confirmed that mineralization extends to 200m below surface but also intersected a previously unknown high-grade phase of 8m of 26.4 g/t gold. At the same time, the Company discovered extensive mineralization at East Gold Point with 64 m at 1.5 g/t gold and 10 m at 6.5 g/t gold.
Prospecting returned two +5 g/t gold samples and the till campaign isolated two new anomalous areas that offer compelling evidence for further possible discovery.
The Company recently granted an exclusive option to Margaret Lake Diamonds Inc. to acquire an undivided 50% interest in the Kiyuk Lake Property by expending $3,000,000 on the property. (For full details, please see news release February 14, 2019)
