RENO, NV–(Marketwire – Nov 26, 2012) – Grizzly Gold Corp (OTCBB: GRZG) (“Grizzly“) is pleased to announce Phase 1 drilling results on the LB Vixen property in Humboldt County, Nevada.
“Assay results from the four Phase 1 drill holes on the LB Vixen property are extremely encouraging,” said Grizzly Gold Corp President and CEO Paul Strobel. “All four widely spaced holes encountered gold mineralization demonstrating the possible existence of a large bulk tonnage, sediment hosted gold deposit on the LB Vixen property. Further study of the results will help determine the next phase of testing and target selection for Phase 2 drilling in 2013.”
LB Vixen Property Geology
The LB Vixen property is primarily covered by Quaternary alluvium. Where outcrop is exposed, much is sub-crop of weathered and decomposed Triassic/Permian intercalated and inter-bedded sediments of argillite, siltstone, shale and limestone with zones of silicified/jasperoidal outcrops forming hill tops in the eastern and southern portions of the property.
Pre- and post-mineral faulting, both observed and interpreted, is evident throughout the property. Faults appear to be relatively high angle normal faults trending northwest and north-northeast. Mineralization appears to coincide with or near fault intersections.
LB Vixen Property Phase 1 Drilling
Four RC angle holes totaling 2500 feet were widely spaced along a zone of anomalous gold mineralization intermittently exposed over a length of roughly 9000 feet and width of nearly 2000 feet. Due to the general lack of outcrop exposure, the first phase of drilling was intended to help determine the overall extent and trend of mineralization. Mineralization was encountered in all 4 holes.
Analytical highlights of the phase 1 drilling:
Hole | Interval | Length | Au g/t |
LBV DH 1 | 10ft – 40ft | 30ft | .02 |
80ft – 100ft | 20ft | .02 | |
LBV DH 2 | 20ft – 170ft | 150ft | .07 |
100ft – 170ft | 70ft | .09 | |
LBV DH 3* | 240ft – 300ft | 60ft | .12 |
260ft – 280ft | 20ft | .30 | |
*(LBV DH 3 was abandoned at 300 feet due to high influx of artesian water) | |||
LBV DH 4 | 10ft – 40ft | 30ft | .01 |
150ft – 230ft | 80ft | .01 |
