Metanor Intersects 8.26 g/T over 2.10 m and 7.40 g/T over 2.97 m at Bachelor Lake
VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 10/13/11 -- Metanor Resources Inc. ('Metanor') (TSX VENTURE: MTO) is pleased to provide another update of its activities at the Bachelor Lake Project.
The 15,000 meters diamond drilling campaign announced on June 16th (ref. press release) is progressing very well. Since its last press release (ref. September 27th 2011), an additional 1,500 meters of drilling was completed from surface in the Hewfran A West sector. These additional holes were adjacent to those holes mentioned in the previous press release. Metanor obtained the results from the four additional completed drill holes, which are as follow:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Width (m) Grade g/T
Drill Hole From (m) To (m) (i) Au Zone
----------------------------------------------------------------------
B11-147 105.20 107.3 2.10 8.26 HA-West
----------------------------------------------------------------------
B11-152 136.62 142.38 5.76 4.10 HA-West
----------------------------------------------------------------------
B11-167 206.81 209.78 2.97 7.40 HA-West
----------------------------------------------------------------------
B11-188 232.35 235.24 2.89 Low Grade HA-West
----------------------------------------------------------------------
((i) All intercepts represent the true core length).
The drill holes targeted mainly the Hewfran A West zone between 100 and 330 meters below the surface and are located 850 meters west from the Bachelor Lake mine shaft. This structure already contains resources (indicated and inferred; ref.: Technical Report NI 43-101 Stantec, Feb. 2011) and is accessible from a drift located on level 6 at Bachelor Lake Mine. The holes are all intersected their target and the alteration type and mineralization associated to the presence of gold were observed at different degrees in all the drill holes completed to date, and over a lateral distance of 150 meters. Metanor is very confident to increase the resources in this sector.
Metanor Resources, encouraged by the good results obtained, is actively continuing its drilling program from surface and intends to extend its exploration program. Moreover, Metanor plans to begin, this October, the drilling of the Main and B veins from level 15 at the Bachelor Lake Mine.
The true width is approximately 90% of the core length obtained in diamond drill holes. The samples were assayed by fire-assay at the Metanor assay lab. The quality control program of the assay results (QA QC) adopted by Metanor includes a minimum of 10% of controlled assays being conducted as well as verification by an independent external assay lab.
