Kilo Intersects Additional High Grade Targets at Kitenge: 3.75 M Grading 27.08 g/t Gold
2013年1月23日 - 9:19PM
Highlights
- 3.75 metres grading 27.08 g/t Au
- Depth below surface is only 125 metres
- This intersection is 60 metres vertically below hole #21 (5.80
metres grading 42.24 g/t Au)
- High grade zone at Kitenge now outlined over 700 metre strike
length
- Deepest intercept to date in the high grade zone is only 145
metre from surface
- Kitenge target is now defined over 1,500 metre strike length,
including the high grade zone
- Additional holes are pending receipt of assays in high grade
zone
- The Kitenge Prospect gold bearing shear zone is open to the
northwest and to the southeast as post mineralization fault off-set
prospects, namely Senegal and Lion respectively
Kilo Goldmines Ltd. ("Kilo") (TSX VENTURE:KGL) (FRANKFURT:02K) is
pleased to announce results from diamond drill hole SKDD0035
("#35") totalling 293.20 m, an undercut hole of the previously
announced drill hole SKDD0021 ("#21"), that intersected 5.80 m @
42.24 g/t Au (see press release dated November 01, 2012). The
Kitenge Prospect is now defined over a 1500 m strike length and is
one of several exploration Prospects that form part of Kilo's
Somituri Project in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo
("DRC"). Kitenge is approximate 4.0 km from Kilo's 1.87 Moz Adumbi
inferred gold resource estimate and like Adumbi, falls within the
Imbo Licence. To date, 11 diamond drill holes delineate the high
grade zone within the 1500 m long Kitenge structure, defined to
shallow depths of ~ 65 m; the two deepest intercepts being 125 m
and 145 m vertically below surface. The Kitenge structure remains
open on strike and at depth. The key intercept in hole #35 occurs
at a downhole depth of 165.8 m and is followed by several other
gold occurrences further down the hole that also correlate with
similar intercepts in the footwall of hole #21, some 60 m above.
The gold intercepts in both holes are well defined geologically as
they are hosted within the Kitenge Shear Zone that is estimated to
be 75 m wide based on visual observation of alteration and
structure. The Kitenge structure is considered to show many
of the characteristics of mesothermal gold deposits, where zones of
high grade mineralization occurs as defined "shoots" within a major
structure and can exceed depths of 2 km below surface. (e.g. Red
Lake, Ontario) Alex van Hoeken, President and CEO of Kilo stated:
"These additional deeper gold intersections at Kitenge, provide
some of the clearest evidence yet of the continuity of high grade
gold values with depth. These deeper, higher grade results
support the need for additional drilling over the entire Kitenge
structure. We now have additional confidence that, not only is the
structure open on strike, but the width and gold tenor is likely to
increase with depth. Kitenge is rapidly shaping up to be one
the better prospects identified on the underexplored Imbo Licence
and additional drilling is planned to delineate the extent of the
high grade zone, possibly steeply plunging gold shoots that occur
within the Kitenge main shear zone." Gold intersections for drill
hole SKDD0035 are listed in Table 1, whilst the location of the
Kitenge holes drilled to date and the location of the Kitenge
prospect relative to the Imbo licence boundaries are given in
Figures 1 and 2 respectively (see
attachment).

collared at -65 degrees and as 70 to 80% for those holes collared
at -50 degrees, of core length intersections.
The Kitenge Shear Zone Target
Gold at Kitenge occurs with quartz + carbonate + pyrite ±
pyrrhotite ± arsenopyrite ± chalcopyrite in a northwest-southeast
oriented dominant shear zone hosting a continuous auriferous quartz
vein, that dips about 80 degrees northeast, termed the Kitenge
Shear Zone ("KSZ"). Preliminary interpretation concludes
that the KSZ is of the order of 75 m wide, bedding parallel to
sub-parallel and characterized by highly sericitized and silicified
fine grained clastic metasedimentary rocks. In addition gold
mineralization also occurs in the footwall and hangingwall rocks of
the KSZ. The KSZ continues northwest as the ~1500 m long Senegal
Prospect, which in turn continues northwest as the Canal Prospect
followed by the Adumbi gold deposit. The structure continues
northwest from the Adumbi gold deposit as the Adumbi West
Prospect. Each prospect has been left-laterally offset by
post gold mineralization faults. The Senegal Prospect is
flanked to the immediate northeast by a linear magnetic high.
Soil sampling on line 22720, some 800 m northwest of the most
northerly Kitenge Prospect drill hole, (SKDD0017) returned a gold
value of 69.6 g/t and a follow-up trench returned 2.30 m @ 4.56 g/t
Au and 2.40 m @ 1.265 g/t Au. Diamond drilling in 2012
returned 3.30 m @ 2.49 g/t Au from 14.50 m to 17.80 m, and 3.85 m @
0.97 g/t Au from 82.20 m to 86.05 m in hole SSDD0001. Thus,
soil sampling, trenching and drilling results, clearly indicate
that the Kitenge Prospect continues northwest as the Senegal
Prospect and these Prospects are open on strike and to depth.
Drill hole SSDD0001 was collared on a magnetic azimuth of
220 degrees and drilled on an inclination of -50 degrees for 205.74
m. Towards the southeast from Kitenge drill hole SKDD0022, gold
mineralization was intersected on 5 section lines spaced at 160 m
intervals. Drill holes on section line 24640 intersected
16.70 m @ 1.32 g/t Au (SKDD0011) and 14.05 m @ 1.35 g/t Au
indicating that the KSZ also hosts gold mineralization in excess of
10 m (true) width. Further southeast the KSZ is left
laterally fault off-set towards the northeast and the gold bearing
shear zone continues southeast as the Lion Prospect.
About the Somituri Project The
Somituri Project comprises eight Exploitation Licences, covering
606 km2 of the Archaen Ngayu Greenstone belt in the northeastern
Democratic Republic of Congo. According to historical records,
unverified by Kilo, the Kitenge and Manzako mines produced
approximately 100 000 oz of gold to 1955, whilst the Adumbi gold
mine produced approximately 200 000 oz of gold from quartz
vein ore that averaged 11 g/t gold during the 1940s until its
closure in 1959. The Mineral Corporation (April 2012), based in
Johannesburg South Africa, calculated an NI 43-101 compliant
inferred gold resource estimate of 1.87 Moz grading 1.63 g/t Au
using a 0.50 g/t Au cut-off for the Adumbi Prospect.
Quality Control and Analytical
Procedures The drill core was sawn in half with a
diamond saw and a half core of each sample was placed into plastic
bags and stapled shut. Commercial standards and blanks were
inserted in every batch of samples submitted for analysis in
accordance with industry practice. Sample preparation was
carried out at the Kilo on-site laboratory managed by ALS
Chemex. Sample pulps were shipped from the DRC to ALS Chemex
in Johannesburg, South Africa by commercial courier. Gold
analysis was determined on a 50 g charge by the Fire Assay with
Atomic Absorption finish method. ALS Chemex is accredited to
international standards. Quality control of analytical results is
monitored by Kilo with the insertion of commercial standards and
blanks in every batch of samples submitted for analysis. For
additional details the reader is referred to Kilo's previously
announced (see May 4, 2010 press release) quality control and
analytical procedures. About Kilo
Kilo Goldmines Ltd. (Kilo) is a Canadian gold exploration company,
listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol 'KGL' and on
the Frankfurt Exchange under the symbol '02K'. Kilo holds
exploitation and exploration licenses covering approximately 3000
km2 of favourable Archaean Kabalian greenstone in the Kilo-Moto
area in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Kilo owns a
71.25% interest in KGL-Somituri SPRL ("Somituri Project") the
registered holder of mineral rights on eight non-contiguous
Exploitation Licences valid until 2039 covering 606 km2 which
includes the Imbo licence (122 km2). Kilo has defined a 1.87
Moz, NI 43-101 compliant inferred gold resource estimate (1.63 g/t
Au, at a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t) on the Adumbi Prospect (April
2012) of the Imbo licence.
