June 07 2011 - 8:30AM
Marketwired
Goldstone Resources Inc. (TSX: GRC)(PINK SHEETS: GRSZF) today
announced that a rig is now onsite and drilling at the Company's
Leitch-Sand River property as the first step in an estimated
20,000-metre 2011 program in the Beardmore camp of the
Geraldton-Beardmore Greenstone Belt.
Exploration at Beardmore is in addition to an ongoing
30,000-metre drill program at Goldstone's Key Lake property in the
Geraldton camp.
The drilling program at Leitch-Sand River will consist of 19
holes for a total of approximately 12,000 metres. The target area
extends over two kilometres to the west of the Sand River mine
shaft covering the Leitch-Sand River No. 2 vein system, the No. 16
vein system, and the Creek vein area. The program is designed to
evaluate some 14 targets on the property. Historically, the No. 16
vein system was exposed on the 8th level (900 feet) of the Leitch
Gold Mine and graded 1.53 oz/t Au over 0.63 feet, with a strike
length of 805 feet. Historical mine records indicate that a total
of nearly 3,600 tons grading 0.56 oz/t were mined and milled from
the No. 16 vein.
The exploration program is planned and executed by George
Langstaff, Ph.D., P.G., P. Geo. (Temp.) and supervised by Tracy
Armstrong, P. Geo. Ms. Armstrong is a Qualified Person within the
meaning of National Instrument 43-101, and is actively involved in
Goldstone's 2011 exploration program.
"Drawing on results from recent and historic drilling and from
both surface exploration and a 2010 aeromagnetic survey, we have
established initial targets for 2011 Beardmore drilling at both our
Leitch-Sand River and Northern Empire Mine properties," said Philip
Cunningham, Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer. "Our goal
remains one of expanding our Beardmore resources in areas that
could potentially be developed sequentially along with the NI
43-101 compliant resource established at our Brookbank
property."
"Logistical considerations have dictated that we drill first at
Leitch-Sand River, rather than at the McWilliams showing on the
Northern Empire property, which was previously drilled in the fall
of 2010, intersecting a favourable gold-bearing horizon in hole
NE10-03. McWilliams will be another focal point in 2011," he
added.
About Leitch-Sand River Property
The formerly producing Leitch-Sand River Mine is located seven
kilometres from Goldstone's Northern Empire mill, which is a fully
permitted, expandable 200-TPD complex, located in Beardmore,
Ontario. Historically, the Leitch Mine produced 861,900 oz with an
average ore grade of 0.92 ounces per ton.
The deepest level of the Leitch Mine was level 30 (4,525 ft. or
1,380 m). Drifting was completed on this level in order to provide
access to drill test possible depth extensions of Vein #2, with
historical mine records indicating several drill hole intercepts of
more than two ounces per ton over widths of up to 19 inches,
located between 130 and 300 feet below the 30th level.
