Marketwired
Gold Summit Corporation ("GSM" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: GSM)
intends to raise up to CDN$1,200,000 in a non-brokered private
placement by issuing 5,600,000 units at a price of $0.125 per unit
for a total of $700,000. Each unit will consist of one common share
and one common share purchase warrant exercisable for 24 months at
$0.20. In addition, the Company intends to raise CDN$500,000
flow-through funds by issuing 3,571,429 units at a price of $0.14
per unit. Each unit will consist of one common share and one common
share purchase warrant exercisable for 24 months at $0.20. The
private placement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange and fees may apply. The Company has retained the services
of Nottingham Consulting Ltd to act as sole lead agent.
The Company plans to use the 'hard dollar' proceeds to advance
scoping studies, including metallurgical test work and initial
engineering studies on both the Sugarloaf Peak and Monte Cristo
properties while it continues discussions with a number of
interested potential joint venture partners. Flow-through proceeds
will be used for drilling at the Sakoose high grade target on the
Tabour Lake prospect and for surface work and drilling at Surprise
Lake, both greenstone gold prospects in Western Ontario.
GSM currently explores primarily in Nevada for high grade gold
and gold/silver deposits that would support underground, low cash
cost operations. GSM has recently announced resources at the Monte
Cristo and Sugarloaf (Tip Top) properties and holds part of four
more Tertiary epithermal vein districts, all with drill ready
targets defined by surface work. All GSM properties have
potentially economic gold and or silver grades in outcrops or
discovery drill holes.
GSM recently filed a new NI 43-101 compliant report announcing a
new resource estimate for the McLean Lode located on the Monte
Cristo property. At a 0.5 g/t gold cut-off, the inferred resource
known as the McLean Lode amounts to 313,335 ounces of gold
contained in 3,481,500 tonnes at a grade of 3.14 g/t gold. At a 2.0
g/t gold cut-off, the inferred resource amounts to 237,000 ounces
of gold contained in 1,025,700 tonnes at a grade of 7.2 g/t gold.
In addition, the study shows a separate inferred resource of
1,507,000 ounces of silver contained in 1,124,000 tonnes at a grade
of 42 g/t silver using a 9 g/t silver cut-off. At a 35 g/t silver
cut-off the separate inferred resource is 1,025,000 ounces of
silver contained in 396,000 tonnes at a grade of 80 g/t silver. The
silver resource is estimated from only part of the drill database.
A majority of holes drilled by predecessor explorers were not
assayed for silver.
The Sugarloaf Peak Prospect in Esmeralda County, Nevada,
includes the old Tip Top Mine, the subject of a NI 43-101 compliant
report, filed November 10, 2009. The Tip Top Mine has indicated and
inferred resources of 646,234 tonnes grading 2.9 g/t gold at a 1
g/t gold cut off. Results from column leach metallurgical tests of
6 samples, approximately 40 kg each, collected in and around the
old Tip Top adit are now under available and show very encouraging
recoveries. The resource outcrops and exploitation by open pit-heap
leach operation is under evaluation with potential partners.
In north-west Ontario, Gold Summit recently optioned the Tabour
Lake gold prospect in the Kenora mining district which contains the
Sakoose gold mine that has a number of high grade gold drill
intercepts. The company also retains its interest in the Surprise
Lake greenstone gold property east of Red Lake after receiving
approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to convert $8,000 owed to an
optionor as an annual payment under an option agreement dated
October 29, 2008 into 40,000 common shares at a deemed price of
$0.20 per share.
