Adroit Updates Exploration on the Red Vein Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Property: Summer Programme
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/29/11 -- Adroit Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ADT)(FRANKFURT: A7V)(BERLIN: A7V). Management is pleased to announce the completion of a four month summer exploration programme at the Company's Red Vein VMS property in the Shinning Tree mining district of Ontario. The primary focus was on the Grassy Lake and Little Pidgeon Lake portions of the property.
A ten man field team completed geologic mapping, surface rock chip sampling for whole rock and multi-element analyses, ground-proofing of winter geophysical results, outcrop blasting and trail cutting from a bush camp near Little Pigeon Lake. The team included two geologists, four geo-technicians and two geology students.
Little Pidgeon Lake. The field team successfully correlated surface expressions with the deep I.P. survey and generated a number of drill targets. The new targets are located on the western end of the previously identified quartz/copper vein. The east-west trending vein has a recognized strike length of 2.3 km (See News Release dated May 9th, 2011 for further reference).
The Company will undertake additional geophysical surveys to further delineate these targets. A helicopter-borne VTEM survey is planned along with the extension of existing grids for more IP surveys.
Grassy Lake. The field team carried out an additional program of Mobile Metal Ions ('MMI') sampling, as recommended by Mark Fedikow Ph.D., P.Eng., P. Geo., C.P.G. of Mount Morgan Resources Ltd., over the Grassy Lake portion (See News Release May 30th, 2011 for further reference) and intends to extend a VTEM survey over this part of the property.
The Company has appointed Mount Morgan Resources Ltd. of Winnipeg, Manitoba to produce a full compilation report with a view to defining drill targets for copper-gold vein systems, and copper, lead and zinc mineralization.
Winter Drilling. The Company plans to drill this coming winter on both the Little Pidgeon Lake and Grassy Lake portions of its Red Vein property.
Staking. The Company has continued its aggressive staking program in this under-explored portion of the Abitibi greenstone belt by increasing its Red Vein property to 734 from 604 contiguous claim units (11,744 hectares from 9,664).
The area has long been an area of intense interest, located in the heart of the exploration triangle of the three large mining camps of Timmins, (80 km due North), Sudbury, (150 km due South), and Kirkland Lake (75 km Northeast) of Ontario. There are 30 VMS-type massive sulphide deposits with over 200,000 tonnes of mineralization within 200 km of the Red Vein property. This includes Kidd Creek in Timmins with 147,880,000 tonnes grading 2.31% copper, 6.18% zinc and 87 g/t silver and the Horne, H&G Ore bodies in Noranda with 53,700,000 tonnes grading 2.2% copper and 6.10 g/t gold. There are numerous historical copper showings on the property and gold showings abound in the surrounding area. The property is located approximately 10 km north-west of the former Tyranite Gold Mine and 8 km south of the Sothman nickel deposit (see News Release dated October 6th, 2008).
