Adroit Resources Inc.: New Staking on Red Vein Copper Property
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/09/10 -- Adroit Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ADT)(FRANKFURT: A7V)(BERLIN: A7V) -
Management is pleased to announce that the company has completed a staking program that has significantly enlarged its' Red Vein VMS Property, located within the southern part of the Abitibi greenstone belt in the Shining Tree area of northern Ontario.
Thirty-seven claim units (592 ha) were staked onto the existing property of 216 contiguous claim units (3456 ha). Adroit Resources' 100% owned Red Vein VMS property now covers a total area of 4,048 ha and totals 253 contiguous claim units.
The area has long been an area of intense interest, located in the heart of the exploration triangle of the three large Ontario mining camps of Timmins, (80 km due North), Sudbury, (150 km due South), and Kirkland Lake (75 km Northeast). There are numerous historical copper showings on the property and gold showings abound in the surrounding area. The property is located approximately 10km south-east of the former Tyranite Gold Mine and 8 km south of the Sothman nickel deposit (see News Release of October 6, 2008).
The property consists of metavolcanics and metasediments, comprised of an upper volcanic sequence consisting of mafic to intermediate to felsic flows and pyroclastics, with the lower sequence consisting of mainly mafic flows. These sequences are intersected by several large northwest trending faults.
Adroit Resources' initial exploration efforts for Red Vein are underway and are focused on the VMS potential of the property. Three phases of MMI soil sampling survey, aimed at looking for till-covered mineralized bodies (see news release May 17, 2010), have already been completed over part of the property, and a Ground Magnetic survey is currently underway possibly followed-up with a ground IP survey. The new staking area is located alongside the encouraging results of the MMI soil sampling surveys.
