Knick's Trecesson Property - "Scheelite Area" Kicks Tungsten

Val-d'Or, Quebec, November 7, 2013, - Knick Exploration
Inc. (TSX-V: KNX)
is pleased to report that preliminary re-analysis of samples
from the Trecesson Property-multi veined "Scheelite Area" has
returned 3.2% tungsten
tri-oxide (WO3) from the previously reported (press
release June 2012) grab sample which
assayed 51g/t gold. A 250 meter long IP
(induced polarization) anomaly is coincident with and
extends along strike
of the "Scheelite Vein" (press release April 23,
2013).
The "Scheelite Vein",
rediscovered by Knick, is documented as having historical
values of 0.53 to 16.89%
tungsten tri-oxide (GM04150-A). The IP anomaly was interpreted
as having a #1 priority target, in a Geola Report for Mon-Dor
Exploration in 1987 (GM 45362).
The "Scheelite Vein" is situated in
the northeast part of Knick's Trecesson Property. The
property covers most of theTrecesson Batholith
which has similar
characteristics to the Bourlamaque Batholith of
the Val
d' Or mining camp. It is located 12 km
from the town of Amos and approximately 65 km north northwest
of Val d' Or. The property is traversed
by paved and all weather gravel roads making it accessible year
round.
The 2011 phase I
drill core of the Cossette Gold Vein system will be reviewed and
examined by shortwave ultra-violet (UV)
light for its
associated tungsten potential. Scheelite the tungsten bearing
mineral found on the Trecesson property has a bluish white fluorescence when
exposed to shortwave UV light.
Due to anomalous tungsten results in
certain multi-element scans of Knick samples the company is
re-analysing selected samples using
XRF method for an
accurate tungsten content measure. This will include several
samples from previous work executed on the
property's Spirit Lake multi veined Area and
the Kongor North
and South
veins (press release June 12, 2012).Tungsten analysis by
multi-element scan gives a partial digestion result and does not
reflect an accurate grade of tungsten within a sample.
China controls approximately
80% of the market followed by the former USSR with about 8%
(reference: SIDEX, Exploring for tungsten in Quebec). Typical
grades for tungsten
are 0.3 to 1.5%
tungsten tri-oxide for veins, lower for
stockworks.
Grab samples are selective by
nature and are unlikely to represent the average grade of the
mineralized zone.
Samples were sent to
Laboratoire Expert in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, for fire assay,
multi-element scan and XRF method analysis implementation.
Standards and blanks are submitted by Knick routinely to insure
quality control.
