Marketwired Canada
International Samuel Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ISS) (the "Company") is
pleased to announce an exploration update from the 2012 exploration program on
the company's 100% owned, 32,164.59 hectare, Frog Property. The Frog Property is
located approximately 170 kilometres east-southeast of Dease Lake, British
Columbia.
The 2012 Frog Property exploration program consisted of a multi-phase approach
including: regional reconnaissance, detailed prospecting, detailed petrologic
analysis of the outcrop and subcrop mineralization.
The detailed petrographic analysis was conducted for all the rock samples
collected in the 2012 program. This analysis was two-fold, firstly using 25X and
50X hand lenses, 50-220X zoom digital USB scope feeding images directly into a
computer to obtain lithology, structure, alteration, mineralization, mineral
assemblages and mineral sequences. And secondly, fourteen samples were selected
for further thin section petrologic study.
The petrographic analysis identified three alteration assemblages on the Frog
Property:
-- The first and most common alteration assemblage, the property's main
assemblage, is biotite-magnetite-pyrite/marcasite +/- chlorite-epidote,
which occurs throughout the non-pervasive silica +/- clay flooding.
-- The second alteration assemblage on the property includes magnetite
replacement of hornblende and amphiboles in the granitoids. This
alteration appears to be both property-wide and does extend outside the
property boundary.
-- A third alteration assemblage found is muscovite-pyrite/marcasite-
magnetite +/- chlorite-epidote. This alteration apparently has a very
limited range, both vertically and horizontally, and is seen in only a
few samples.
Forex Prospect
The Forex Prospect on the Frog Property has 6 km x 4.6 km aerial extent, with
copper-silver-gold and overlapping molybdenum-rhenium with anomaly. Of the 430
rock samples collected, 101 of them returned copper values of 0.1% or higher.
Nine samples within the area returned copper values above 1% with gold grades
ranging 0.5 to 4 g/t. Sample 129606 was a grab from talus and was strongly
mineralized, containing 4.28% copper and 4 g/t gold.
28 of the widely spaced samples on the Forex Prospect had elevated molybdenum
values of 101 ppm to 4270 ppm, with an average of 724 ppm. The molybdenum values
appear to be associated with rhenium; the rhenium values range from 0.04 ppm to
1.245 ppm, with an average for the same 29 samples.
