GMV Minerals Inc. announces soil Trado drill testing further
defines distinct gold anomaly
VANCOUVER,
Nov. 27, 2012 /CNW/ - GMV Minerals
Inc. (the "Company" or "GMV") (TSXV: GMV) is pleased to
announce that it has successfully completed its Trado drill (a
small portable gas powered mechanical auger that can test soil and
weathered rock to depth) program on a geochemical gold
anomaly located on its A-16 Prospecting License ("PL"). The A-16 PL
lies adjacent to and directly south of Guyana Goldfields Inc.'s
Aurora deposit. Moreover, additional in-fill hand auger
sampling has now further defined a second gold anomaly on the
PL.
The Company has received results from 42 Trado
holes drilled on a grid (the "Trado grid") over the highest
priority target as defined by the original hand auger grid-sampling
program described in the Company's Oct.
18 press release. The anomaly is located in the southeast
sector of a larger encompassing regional gold anomaly measuring 2.6
kms long by 0.6 km wide. Samples are considered to be anomalous if
the gold value exceeds the detection limit of 0.005 ppm Au as
determined by 30-gram fire assay analysis. The majority of the
Trado holes (36) were drilled to a depth of 7 metres with the
remaining holes completed to a depth of 3-6 metres depending on
ground conditions and water table. Within Trado holes, samples were
collected on one metre intervals to the bottom of the hole.
The recent Trado program was designed to test the anomaly at depth
to provide a more reliable sample reflecting bedrock potential and
reduce sampling inaccuracies due to alluvial gold and surficial
weathering influences.
Within the Trado grid, holes considered to be
anomalous contained gold values which extended continuously or near
continuously to the bottom of the hole at 7 metres, indicative of a
fine-grained, non-alluvial bedrock source for the gold. All Trado
samples (118 total) averaged 0.0124 ppm Au. Further bedrock source
potential is indicated by anomalous Trado results within the grid
which are aligned northwest-southeast, reflecting the regional
structural control to gold mineralization. Results of the Trado
sampling indicate that the gold geochemical trend is open to the
northwest and southeast. Samples with individual values up to
ten times higher (up to 0.16 ppm Au) than the Trado sample average
were considered to be due to nugget effect, not reflective of
bedrock.
In the northwest target, close-spaced, hand
auger, in-fill sampling (where possible as dense as 25 meter by 25
meters) has further delineated gold anomalies within the greater
regional anomaly, delineated by samples collected at 50-metre
intervals on east-west lines spaced 100-metres apart. The
majority of the in-fill samples (83%) received in the northwest
returned anomalous gold values, averaging 0.0244 ppm Au from all 48
soil samples collected. The consistency of the in-fill auger
sampling values indicates significant, consistent gold values that
should be Trado drill tested to verify that values are derived from
a bedrock source. These highly repeatable gold values from
the hand auger samples are the most homogenous zone of gold
anomalies tested to date.
In summary, results from the Trado sampling have
provided significant drill targets warranting further testing by
core drilling. Grid Trado drilling on the southern anomaly
indicates anomalous gold values derived from a bedrock source,
continue northwest-southwest off the Trado grid. Additionally,
in-fill testing via hand auger sampling on the northwest target
returned significant anomalous gold assays warranting follow-up
testing by Trado drilling to confirm a bedrock source to gold.
