Brookemont Capital Inc. ("Brookemont" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:BKT)(PINK SHEETS:BKTPF) has been notified by the Lawrence
Stephenson, who is the head geologist on site and operator, that a
drill contract has now been signed and the drill program is
expected to commence shortly.
Conrad Clemiss, President of Brookemont stated, "We are pleased
to be nearing the commencement of the much anticipated drill
program in Tanzania. We have been informed by the head geolgist
that evidence gathered to date has been encouraging and managment
is optimistic about what the drill program may uncover."
The site geologist on the Handeni North Gold Prospect in
Tanzania stated that exploration on the property is proceeding with
"very encouraging results" and he reported, "The 250 m trench
across the 4.5 km arsenic soil sampling geochem anomaly, on its
Tanzanian property adjacent to the north of Canaco's Magambazi
Prospecting License, has located numerous quartz veins in the
altered rock.
"The silicified zone with numerous quartz veins is being sampled
with the XRF unit as well as analysis for gold at SGS Laboratories
in Mwanza. Visible arsenopyrite was observed in the amphibolites
associated with the quartz vein which are also being assayed by the
laboratory.
"We are encouraged by the amount of arsenopyrite seen in rocks
associated with the quartz veining, which is not one or two large
veins but numerous small swarms of them. There appears to be an
anticline fold with the axis close to the centre of the As anomaly.
The relationships of these rocks to the drainages where gold flakes
have been found is not clear yet, but the proximity to area with a
significance presence of the arsenopyrite is very close to the
relationship observed at Magambazi.
"Exploration efforts are continuing, including further
trenching. IP surveying and an airborne magnetic survey are being
engaged to assist in refining drill targets that have been outlined
by the current work program (October 6th, 2011)."
Field sampling of the drainages cutting in the vicinity of the
arsenic geochem anomaly have revealed gold flakes and even a small
almost 0.5 mm "nugget" present in the system. The source of the
gold is local as the drainages are extremely intermittent and the
sample medium was located amid angular boulders within 1 metre of
the surface (July 29, 2011).
