Balmoral Reports More High Grade Intercepts From the Martiniere Property, Detour Gold Trend
2013年1月28日 - 9:00PM
Marketwired Canada
-- Highlights Include 11.74 g/t Gold Over 8.90 Metres; 7.64 g/t Gold Over
7.85 Metres and 7.66 g/t Gold Over 7.05 Metres
-- Identifies Fault Repeat and Possible Depth Extension of Footwall Zone
Balmoral Resources Ltd. ("Balmoral" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:BAR)(OTCQX:BALMF) today reported additional high-grade gold results from
drill testing of multiple shallow zones situated along the Bug Lake Fault System
on its wholly owned Martiniere Property in Quebec. Drilling continued to expand
and delineate the Hanging Wall, Footwall and Bug Lake Zones, with most holes
successfully intersecting multiple zones of gold mineralization.
Results from the final 11 holes of the fall 2012 drill program indicate the
presence of a fault repeat of the Footwall Zone, potential for expanding the
Footwall Zone to depth and provide further evidence for the local development of
a fourth, near surface high-grade zone located between the Bug Lake and Hanging
Wall Zones. Drilling continues on the Martiniere Property with 2 rigs currently
on site.
"Today's results continue to demonstrate the continuity and growth potential of
the multiple zones in the Bug Lake area of the Martiniere Property and they set
the stage for an exciting 2013 drill campaign," said Darin Wagner, President and
CEO of Balmoral Resources.

Geological Interpretation
The Footwall Zone has now been traced down-plunge for 150 metres from the
bedrock surface. Increased drill density indicates the presence of a fault
repeat of the Footwall Zone. Re-interpretation of the Zone places the fault
repeated section between the main Footwall Zone and the Bug Lake Zone in the
vicinity of previously reported hole MDE-12-72, which returned 23.82 g/t gold
over 6.73 metres from what is now regarded to be a Footwall Zone intercept. This
fault offset section can be traced for approximately 75 metres down plunge. In
addition, an intercept of 8.07 g/t gold over 1.66 metres in hole MDE-12-74 may
represent the depth extension of the Footwall Zone at roughly 180 metres
vertical depth, below which the footwall area remains untested. A revised long
section for the Footwall Zone is available on the Company's website at
www.balmoralresources.com.
A deeper intercept of 16.53 g/t gold over 6.21 metres from hole MDE-12-72, along
with three other intercepts, may indicate the presence of another high-grade
occurrence to the west of the Footwall Zone in an area of limited testing.
The Bug Lake Zone continues to demonstrate broad zones of anomalous gold
mineralization with higher grade sub-zones. Locally, the anomalous gold
mineralization associated with the Bug Lake Zone merges with the zone of
anomalous gold mineralization which typically surrounds the high-grade core of
the Footwall Zone. Where there is no discernible break in the anomalous (greater
than 100 ppb Au) gold zone, the two zones have been reported together and the
individual zones have also been reported separately in keeping with previous
releases.
On-going testing has also indicated the localized presence of high-grade gold
mineralization located at the upper (eastern) contact of a porphyry dyke which
runs parallel to the Bug Lake Fault between the Bug Lake and Hanging Wall Zones.
The western contact of this same dyke often forms the up-dip margin of the Bug
Lake Zone. Several high-grade intercepts are present along the Upper Porphyry
contact and it may represent another target for potential future resource
definition.
Quality Control
Mr. Darin Wagner (P.Geo.), President and CEO of the Company, is the
non-independent qualified person for the technical disclosure contained in this
news release. Mr. Wagner has supervised the work programs on the Martiniere
Property, visited the property on multiple occasions, examined the drill core
and/or photographs from the holes summarized in this release, discussed and
reviewed the results with senior on-site geological staff and reviewed the
available analytical and quality control results.
Balmoral has implemented a quality control program for all of its drill
programs, to ensure best practice in the sampling and analysis of the drill
core, which includes the insertion of blind blanks, duplicates and certified
standards into sample stream. NQ sized drill core is saw cut with half of the
drill core sampled at intervals based on geological criteria including
lithology, visual mineralization and alteration. The remaining half of the core
is stored on-site at the Company's Martiniere field camp in Central Quebec.
Drill core samples are transported in sealed bags to ALS Minerals Val d'Or,
Quebec analytical facilities. Gold analyses are obtained via industry standard
fire assay with atomic absorption finish using 30 g aliquots. For samples
returning greater than 5.00 g/t gold follow-up fire assay analysis with a
gravimetric finish is completed. The Company has also requested that any samples
returning greater than 10.00 g/t gold undergo screen metallic fire assay.
Following receipt of assays visual analysis of mineralized intercepts is
conducted and additional analysis may be requested. ALS Minerals is ISO
9001:2008 certified and the Val d'Or facilities are ISO 17025 certified for gold
analysis.
