Belvedere Resources Ltd: Gold Results From Resource Delineation Drilling at Kopsa, Finland
Highlights
- New hanging wall zone identified in BelKopDD 82 - 12.74 m @ 2.79 g/t Au, 0.08% Cu
- Infill results in the high-grade part of the main zone continue to deliver good results e.g.
20.3 m @ 4.61 g/t Au 0.36% Cu (BelKopDD 65)
23.3 m @ 2.51 g/t Au 0.28% Cu (BelKopDD 72)
- Further drilling extends the main zone resource downdip and along strike e.g.
43.68 m @ 1.03 g/t Au, 0.09% Cu (BelKopDD 80)
22.64 m @ 1.85 g/t Au, 0.10% Cu (BelKopDD 83)
David Pym (CEO) comments " This phase of drilling is now complete and should be of sufficient density to allow an NI 43-101 compliant resource to be calculated for the central part of the main zone at Kopsa. This in conjunction with the upcoming detailed metallurgical studies will form the basis for a scoping study to be completed in Q1 2012, on the feasibility of mining the Kopsa gold copper deposit …"
The recent drill programme consisted of 4,320 metres over 44 holes, and is focused on, shallow near surface mineralisation in the main zone. Mineralisation in the Main Zone occurs largely between surface and 100m vertical, has a true thickness between 20 and 70m and dips shallowly to the south. It has now been delineated over a strike length of 600 metres, and remains open in all directions. Further mineralised zones have been intersected to the north and south of the Main Zone, and remain targets for future follow-up drilling.

Table 1: Intersections using a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off with a grade thickness greater than 3 gram meters. No top cut is applied. Maximum grade is 22.0g/t Au over 1.08m, one of five individual samples over 15 g/t Au (0.5 oz/t). Intersections are estimated to be 85 - 100% of true width.
The drilling was undertaken by Drillcon SMOY of Finland, providing 42 mm diameter core. Samples are comprised of half diamond core. Intersections are estimated to be 85% - 100% of true width. No top cuts are applied with the highest individual assay being 22.0 g/t gold over 1.08 metres. Core samples are sawn in half on site, prepped and assayed by 30g fire assay with an AAS finish at the internationally accredited laboratories of ALS Chemex in Finland. The quality assurance-quality control (QAQC) program of Belvedere consists of the insertion of certified standards of known gold content every 20 samples, with blanks at the beginning of each batch. In addition, ALS Chemex inserts a number of blanks and standards into the analytical process. Standards, blanks and duplicates make up approximately 15% of the samples assayed. The remaining half core is retained on site for verification and reference purposes. The locations of the drillholes are provided in the table below.
