Adroit Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ADT)(FRANKFURT: A7V)(BERLIN:
A7V). Management is pleased to announce the completion of a four
month summer exploration programme at the Company's Red Vein VMS
property in the Shinning Tree mining district of Ontario. The
primary focus was on the Grassy Lake and Little Pidgeon Lake
portions of the property.
A ten man field team completed geologic mapping, surface rock
chip sampling for whole rock and multi-element analyses,
ground-proofing of winter geophysical results, outcrop blasting and
trail cutting from a bush camp near Little Pigeon Lake. The team
included two geologists, four geo-technicians and two geology
students.
Little Pidgeon Lake. The field team successfully correlated
surface expressions with the deep I.P. survey and generated a
number of drill targets. The new targets are located on the western
end of the previously identified quartz/copper vein. The east-west
trending vein has a recognized strike length of 2.3 km (See News
Release dated May 9th, 2011 for further reference).
The Company will undertake additional geophysical surveys to
further delineate these targets. A helicopter-borne VTEM survey is
planned along with the extension of existing grids for more IP
surveys.
Grassy Lake. The field team carried out an additional program of
Mobile Metal Ions ("MMI") sampling, as recommended by Mark Fedikow
Ph.D., P.Eng., P. Geo., C.P.G. of Mount Morgan Resources Ltd., over
the Grassy Lake portion (See News Release May 30th, 2011 for
further reference) and intends to extend a VTEM survey over this
part of the property.
The Company has appointed Mount Morgan Resources Ltd. of
Winnipeg, Manitoba to produce a full compilation report with a view
to defining drill targets for copper-gold vein systems, and copper,
lead and zinc mineralization.
Winter Drilling. The Company plans to drill this coming winter
on both the Little Pidgeon Lake and Grassy Lake portions of its Red
Vein property.
Staking. The Company has continued its aggressive staking
program in this under-explored portion of the Abitibi greenstone
belt by increasing its Red Vein property to 734 from 604 contiguous
claim units (11,744 hectares from 9,664).
The area has long been an area of intense interest, located in
the heart of the exploration triangle of the three large mining
camps of Timmins, (80 km due North), Sudbury, (150 km due South),
and Kirkland Lake (75 km Northeast) of Ontario. There are 30
VMS-type massive sulphide deposits with over 200,000 tonnes of
mineralization within 200 km of the Red Vein property. This
includes Kidd Creek in Timmins with 147,880,000 tonnes grading
2.31% copper, 6.18% zinc and 87 g/t silver and the Horne, H&G
Ore bodies in Noranda with 53,700,000 tonnes grading 2.2% copper
and 6.10 g/t gold. There are numerous historical copper showings on
the property and gold showings abound in the surrounding area. The
property is located approximately 10 km north-west of the former
Tyranite Gold Mine and 8 km south of the Sothman nickel deposit
(see News Release dated October 6th, 2008).
