August 29 2011 - 10:35AM
Marketwired
Kermode Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: KLM), and its Board of
Directors are pleased to announce the acquisition of the Buzz Lake
Gold Project which is located in the renowned Snow Lake-Wekusko
Region in west central Manitoba. Kermode will issue 1.4 million
shares and pay $40,000 to acquire a 100% interest in the property,
subject to a 2.0% net smelter returns royalty, of which 1.5% may be
purchased by Kermode in consideration of $500,000 for each 0.5%.
The agreement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. All
securities issued with respect to this transaction are subject to a
four-month hold period.
Buzz Lake Gold Project:
The Buzz Lake Gold Project is located in west central Manitoba,
about 27 kilometres southeast of the mining community of Snow Lake.
The new acquisition includes three contiguous mineral claims
covering an estimated area of four and half square kilometres, on
the southeast shore of Wekusko Lake. A dirt road is located about
2.2 km south of the claims which are accessible in the summer
months via boat and winter via a winter road which crosses the
property.
In 1983 Hudson Bay Exploration and Development (HBED) completed
an EM 16 VLF geophysical survey on the Buzz Lake Property. The
survey detected two northward trending conductors within the Broad
Bay Pluton intrusive host rock (a Paleoproterozoic
meta-granodiorite with inclusions of meta-volcanic lithologies). In
the spring of 1985, HBED drilled two diamond drill holes, KUS 168
and KUS 169, testing these blind soil-covered geophysical
conductors. Hole KUS 168 cut a few intervals of 'hydrothermal
alteration' which reported no gold values. Hole KUS169, located
about 1,000m west-northwest of KUS168 on a roughly parallel
geophysical conductor, intersected similar intervals of
hydrothermal alteration but these are reported to contain
significant gold values. The drill core log also reports a few very
fine grained (0.1 to 0.3 mm) visible gold grains. The 1985 HBED
assessment report (Manitoba assessment report number 93516) notes
the quartz-carbonate veins observed in hole KUS169 occur in brittle
fractures and shears within the intrusive, containing 1-5%
disseminated sulphides. Sulphides are reported to be dominated by
pyrite and arsenopyrite, with lesser amounts of chalcopyrite.
1985 HBED Drill Hole KUS169:
Gold values are reported from 45.35m to 47.70 m and from 53.65m
to 57.39m down hole. The uncut average gold content for the 3.74
metres from 53.65 to 57.39 is 7.65 gpt. The most significant
individual samples are shown below:
From (m) To (m) Interval (m) Gold (oz/ton) Gold (g/ton)
45.35 45.81 0.46 0.37 11.6
54.62 55.02 0.40 1.88 58.8
56.69 57.00 0.31 0.18 5.63
The preceding data pre-date and are therefore non-compliant with
NI 43-101 and have not been verified by Kermode, however Kermode
considers the source reliable, the data were collected in
conformity with the standards of the time, and are considered
useful to direct future exploration.
Near term exploration plans for Buzz Lake include a ground based
magnetic and VLF-EM geophysical survey, with follow-up diamond
drill testing.
Other news:
In line with Kermode's new direction, a brand new corporate
website is being designed and is currently nearing completion.
Kermode expects that the new website will be launched by early to
mid-September and will serve as a hub for investors to keep up to
date with Company developments and objectives, as well as a
valuable educational resource that investors can utilize at will.
Kermode has also granted 1,610,000 stock options to Directors,
Officers, and Consultants at an exercise price of $.11 cents, for a
period of five years, in accordance with the Company's Stock Option
Plan.
