Grizzly Provides Update on Greenwood Gold Project- Mobilizes Crews to Field
EDMONTON, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/09/11 -- Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSX VENTURE: GZD) (OTCQX: GZDIF) (FRANKFURT: G6H) ('Grizzly' or the 'Company') is pleased to provide this update for its Greenwood Gold Project. The Company holds a 100% interest in more than 225,000 acres in a single contiguous block of mineral claims (the 'Project') centered on the town of Greenwood, British Columbia. The Company has commissioned APEX Geoscience Ltd. ('APEX') of Edmonton, Alberta to mobilize field crews to the Greenwood area and commence the 2011 exploration program.
Immediate and Future Work
APEX personnel will conduct an aggressive Stage 1 field-based exploration program consisting of ground geophysical surveys including induced polarization surveys, prospecting, rock and soil sampling, and geological mapping at existing targets including Copper Mountain, Ket 28 and the Dayton area as well as at new targets identified in airborne geophysical surveys commissioned by Grizzly in 2008 and 2009. Once these datasets are received and interpreted, a series of drill collars will be selected leading to land use applications for drilling. The Company plans to commence drilling in late summer to early fall 2011. The Company has planned a minimum budget of $2 million for fieldwork and approximately 5,000 metres of drilling.
The Company's exploration efforts to date on the Project have largely focused on its gold potential. However, given the recent price increases in silver and the evidence of historic production within the Project area, the Company plans to conduct an extensive evaluation of its land holdings for silver potential. The historic Phoenix Mine, situated approximately 1.5 kilometres from the Company's mineral claim holdings, produced more than 1 million ounces of gold and 6 million ounces of silver. In addition, there are historic showings and old workings from which silver was produced on the Company's mineral claims in the area. In light of these factors, in addition to the Company's targets being examined for gold, each of these historic showings and workings that were rich in silver will also be examined for silver during the 2011 summer field program.
All 2011 field and office exploration programs are conducted under the supervision of Mr. Michael Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., a principal of APEX Geoscience Ltd. and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
