Orca Gold Provides Galat Sufar South Update
2013年5月17日 - 12:19AM
Marketwired Canada
Orca Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ORG) ("Orca Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to
provide an update on its exploration activities in Sudan.
Exploration is ongoing at the Company's Block 14 permit. Since the previous
update (News Release: April 15, 2013) we have focused efforts on expanding the
footprint of mineralization at the Galat Sufar South prospect ("GSS").
To date a total of 62 RC holes (8,389m) have been drilled at GSS for which
results have been received for 39 holes. In addition, a total of 5 diamond core
holes have been completed at GSS for a total of 1,654m for which assays have
been received for the first 3. A further 5,000m of drilling is planned for the
next two months after which a decision on whether to proceed to initial resource
drilling at GSS will be made.
Further encouraging results have now been received from the Main Zone drilling:

Multiple Zones of Mineralisation
It now appears that there are at least four distinct zones at GSS. Current
interpretation suggests that the Main, East (1 and 2) and Far East zones
represent multiple north-west to north-north-east trending zones within a
district scale east-west corridor. Mineralisation throughout the area is hosted
by quartz-sericite-carbonate schists with pyrite content having a close
relationship to gold mineralisation.
Senior Management and Board members visited site last week and walked all areas
of the interpreted mineralization.
The figure below shows the distribution of the zones currently defined by
drilling and surface sampling in Galat Sufar South and Appendix 1 details all
drill results received to date by zone.
Main Zone
The results tabled above continue to improve our understanding of the Main Zone
mineralization which has now been intersected over a strike length of 150m and
up to 175m below surface. Mineralization within this area shows a true width of
between 75m and 125m and higher grade areas within this envelope are beginning
to resolve into distinct higher grade, plunging shoots which remain open at
depth.
The mineralization intersected from surface in hole GSRC082 is of particular
interest as it clearly shows an extension of the mineralisation under cover to
the west. Drilling in this area is focused on targeting the north and westward
extension of the Main Zone under cover, to where trench 14TR041B returned 64m
grading 1.20g/t (incl 1m of 9.67g/t), 200m to the north.
To the south of the Main Zone, hole GSRC081 has confirmed the extension to the
north west of a high grade zone (19m at 15.29g/t uncut, 6.24g/t cut) previously
intersected in hole GDRC003 (19m at 13.60g/t uncut, 6.39g/t cut).
Chip channel sampling 500m to the north west has also intersected grade on what
is interpreted to be the north west extension of mineralisation with 14HC076
giving 14m grading 2.08g/t (incl 1m of 10.55g/t) and 14HC077, 40m grading
0.59g/t.
Eastern Zones
Work also continues on both the East 1 and 2 Zones and Far East Zone where
trenching and drilling has intersected mineralisation over a strike length of
300-400m in each case (open). A further 16 holes have been drilled to date with
assays received for one further drill hole from the East 1 Zone:

The area lying below sand cover between the East 2 zone and the Far East zone
will be drilled in the next month as it has been the subject of significant
artisanal activity in recent months and trenching in this area has defined wide
low grade intercepts (14TR41B: 1224-1244m, 20m at 0.40g/t, 1304-1324m, 20m at
0.82g/t, 1408-1442m, 34m at 0.30g/t).
The Far East Zone has received little drilling to date (4 holes). Trenching
showed several wide, low grade intercepts (14TR41B: 1610-1672, 62m at 0.54g/t
(incl 24m at 0.96g/t), 14TR39E: 988.5-1021m, 32.5m at 0.38g/t, 1036-1066m, 30m
at 0.67g/t) which were upgraded by drilling results from holes GSRC027 and 28
providing encouragement for further drilling in this area.
Exploration is also being aimed at expanding the footprint of the prospect
within the extensions of the east-west corridor. Of note are the results of a
chip channel line (14HC90), north east of the Far East Zone which returned 105m
grading 0.95g./t. This area is currently the subject of follow up sampling.
In addition, little work has been done on areas that are under sand cover and we
are now expanding our trenching programme at GSS to test the strike extent of
the various mineralized zones into areas of cover.
Over 4,000 samples representing over 3,000m of drilling and exploration samples
remain at and en-route to the laboratory. Orca is also actively evaluating an
additional twelve early stage targets at Block 14 within a 20km radius of GSS.
Simon Jackson, President & CEO said "We continue to be excited by ongoing
exploration results at Block 14 and in particular at Galat Sufar South. Our
exploration team is working extremely hard to delineate the various mineralized
zones that we have discovered. Orca remains in a very strong position with a
large, highly prospective land position, an experienced exploration team with an
impressive track record and a healthy balance sheet including approximately $60
million in cash."
