Mega Precious Metals Reports Consistent Tungsten Credits Significantly Increasing Gold-Equivalent Assay Values at Its Monument Bay Gold Camp

25.02.2013  |  Business Wire

Mega Precious Metals Inc. (MGP:TSX-V) ('Mega?) is pleased to
announce further tungsten results from its 2013 exploration and drill
program at its Monument Bay gold deposit, in NE Manitoba.


Mega′s geological framework has verified that all 17 drill holes have
continued to intersect broad intervals of significant Gold and Tungsten
concentrations in the form of a mineral called Scheelite. The current
program has increased the overall gold- equivalent grade by an average
of 32% with smaller intercepts increasing up to 198%. Collectively these
Tungsten results continue to demonstrate the potential for an economic
by-product credit due to the consistent nature of the Gold/Tungsten
association throughout the Twin Lakes Deposit.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • TL 12-484 intersected, 94.0metres at 1.50 g/t Gold
    Equivalent


    • Previous reported intercept was 94.0metres at 1.00 g/t gold

    Equivalent

  • TL 11-390 intersected, 41.0metres at 2.75 g/t Gold
    Equivalent


    • Previous reported intercept was 41.0metres at 2.26 g/t gold
    • 20% increase in Gold Equivalent Grade
  • TL 11-393 intersected, 5.3metres at 2.61 g/t Gold
    Equivalent

Note:* Gold equivalent grade is calculated by multiplying the
3 year average Tungsten price of $50,300/tonne by the %WO
3
then dividing by the Gold Spot price $50.64/gram ($1575/ounce), then
adding the Gold grade. MZTLD equates to Main Zone Twin Lakes Deposit


Mega′s President & Interim CEO, Glen Kuntz commented 'The Monument Bay
gold deposits are unique assets in terms of size and polymetallic
nature. Recent drilling has indicated elevated, potentially recoverable
tungsten values along with the gold mineralization. This discovery has
exceeded our expectations by enriching the gold-equivalent grades
overall by an average of 30%.


Exploration to date has demonstrated a strong correlation between Gold
and Tungsten. The upcoming 2013 drill program will continue to test the
large scale potential of the 120km gold/tungsten system and potentially
provide strong growth in gold and gold-equivalent resources at our
Monument Bay Gold Camp.


These high grade Gold/Tungsten results are a game changer for Mega; they
have the potential to deliver a significant cost advantage after
by-product credit and clearly underscore the potential of our Monument
Bay Project.?


To determine the association between gold and tungsten, Mega has
completed the following work over the past 18 months:


  • Thin section analysis has confirmed tungsten is associated with gold
    mineralization and not in separate discrete veins UOM
    Presentation November 2012

  • Thin section analysis has confirmed the tungsten is in its purest end
    state (Scheelite) ITIA
    Newsletter June 2012

  • Occurring in its purest form, Scheelite is of high density and can be
    enriched with standard gravitational methods and is amenable to
    flotation circuits ITIA
    Newsletter June 2012


As such, Mega will be conducting metallurgical testing of Tungsten in
2013 to determine the recoverability of the Tungsten component.


Drill core from the Monument Bay Gold Camp will be displayed Sunday,
March 3 and Monday, March 4, 2013 at the PDAC Convention in Toronto,
Investors Exchange Booth 2418A.


As a point of reference, a grade of 0.10% Tungsten equates to 1 kg of
Tungsten per tonne. The current average January spot price of tungsten
is $50.30/kg. Current Tungsten-only mines have resource grades between
0.06% and 1.1% Tungsten with the average being ~0.49% Tungsten http://www.itia.info/minerals-deposits.html


Mega is currently completing both an infill and stepout drill program
and started the second phase of its Gold/Tungsten Old Core Assay Program
(OCAP) program. These programs are focused on expanding the
stockwork-style high grade gold mineralization of the existing Twin
Lakes Deposit, the new Mid-East and AZ satellite deposits and test the
newly found regional exploration gold targets such as the Connector and
Gold Pond zones. All of these mineralized zones occur within 7 kms of
the existing Twin Lakes Gold Deposit.


In addition, Mega has commenced an update of its National Instrument
('NI?) 43-101 Resource Estimate for the Twin Lakes Deposit & Area within
the Monument Bay Gold Camp. During 2012 work completed included 40 new
drill holes (> 12,500 m), over 30 OCAP holes (> 11,568 m) and multiple
kilometers of surface mapping and sampling which will be included in the
updated resource estimate.


Additional Gold and Tungsten results are pending from both the current
2013 drill program and the ongoing OCAP that is expected to add more
resource ounces to the project. We expect these programs to be complete
by the end of April, 2013.

Testing Shallow Targets ? More Near Term Potential for Success


Mega will also test targets beyond the existing resource boundary to
establish potential for future resource growth by outlining multiple
gold targets along the 120 kms of prospective mineralized corridors.


The current project is easily accessible by air and the Manitoba
Government continues to initiate the development of infrastructure in
the region, including upgradable power lines, low electricity rates
($0.2-0.4/kWh) and the construction of all season roads within the
region in the next 5 years.

Technical Information


The design of Mega′s drilling programs, Quality Assurance/Quality
Control and interpretation of results is under the control of Mega′s
geological staff including qualified persons employing a QA/QC program
consistent with NI 43?101 and industry best practices. A detailed review
of Mega′s QA/QC procedures is filed in the NI 43-101 report dated March
19, 2012 and on SEDAR.


All drill core is transported by Company personnel from drill site to
our camp for logging, sampling preparation are completed. Sampling
intervals are defined after core logging and determination of scheelite
content by examination under short?wave UV?light. One half of the core
is sent for analysis, while the other half is retained in the core boxes
for future reference. All samples are shipped to Accurassay Laboratories
in Thunder Bay, Ontario and analyzed employing the appropriate gold fire
assaying technique. For QA/QC purposes the Company as well as the lab
submits standards and blanks every 20 samples. Samples are analyzed for
W by XRF and Assay results for tungsten are reported by the laboratory
as W%. WO3 values are calculated using a conversion factor of
1.2611. BC
