TORONTO, Jan. 22, 2014 /CNW/ - Treasury Metals Inc. (TSX:TML) is pleased
to announce the recommencement of drilling at its flagship Goliath Gold
Project located in northwestern Ontario. The initial 10,000 metre
program consists of infill and expansion drilling of the Main and C
Zones, further delineation of the new high-grade zone discovered in the
C Zone and drilling of several targets on the recent Norman property
acquisition.
2014 Drilling Program Targets:
-
Drilling includes a number of targets on the newly acquired Norman
property, which is adjacent to the current deposit (see press release
dated October 18, 2012). The property is contiguous to and located
along strike and downdip of the eastern end of the mineral resource at
Goliath. The Norman acquisition provides first-time access for drilling
of an additional 1.6 kilometres of potential deposit strike length. The
current resource is interpreted to project towards the NE portion of
this newly acquired property.
-
Several EM targets across the Goliath property will be evaluated by this
drill program. The conductors were compiled and ranked from a
property-wide airborne EM survey flown in 2011.
-
The program will also include drilling of the recently discovered
high-grade area in the C Zone. Previous intersections in the area
include the re-entry hole TL164-12RE which returned values of 18.6 g/t
Au over 5.2 metres (see press release dated December 11, 2012 and
January 29, 2013 for further details). This particular zone,
encountered in the central area of the deposit, was a result of
extending previous drill holes by approximately 30 to 50 metres past
the Main Zone and through the C Zone of the deposit. The new program
will focus on further delineation and expansion of the new zone.
-
The company's infill and expansion drilling of both the Main Zone and C
Zone is focused on increasing the resource size and upgrading current
Inferred resources into the Indicated category. The drill program will
include:
-
Final delineation of the open pit and infilling areas of possible pit
expansion
-
Delineation of the newly discovered C Zone ore shoot including the
extension of previously drilled holes through the Main Zone which were
terminated short of the C Zone
-
Infill of the Main Zone where required to finalize the underground
engineering plan for the feasibility study
The infill and expansion drill program combined with the other drilling
programs since October 2011 will form a new resource update expected in
2014.
The Company will provide updates on the results as they become
available.
Technical information in this press release has been reviewed and

Goliath Gold Project under the definitions established by National
