Trenching at the Camking property, 6 km northwest of Matachewan, Ont., has revealed a gold-mineralized zone with an apparent surface width of 15 metres.
Operator Freewest Resources (TSE) has announced that gold assays on grab samples taken over a 15-metre width showed concentrations of up to 7 grams gold per tonne. More systematic chip sampling over a 5-metre width averaged 5 grams per tonne.
The new showing is 90 metres southwest of the original Camking showing where Freewest has obtained a chip sample averaging 2.6 grams gold per tonne over 5 metres. Grab samples from another mineralized occurrence on the property have assayed up to 291 grams silver and 0.55 gram gold per tonne.
A grid is being cut, and Freewest plans to carry out ground geophysics, further backhoe test cuts and diamond drilling.
Half of the exploration expenses are being funded by Detector Resources (ASE), which can earn a 50% interest in the property. The 30-claim (480-hectare) block is immediately south of the Matachewan property of Royal Oak Mines (TSE), which has minable reserves of 1.4 million tons grading 0.06 oz. gold per ton.
