Savant Receives Results for First Two McWatters Holes
March 01 2011 - 9:15AM
Marketwired
Savant Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: SVT) ("Savant") is pleased
to provide the results of the first two holes drilled on its
McWatters Project. Both holes tested the eastern margin of the JKL
Zone at depth. Drill Hole MCW-10-01 cut the JKL Vein System with
the most significant result being 2.48gpt over 0.5 metres. Drill
Hole MCW-10-02 tested the JKL Vein System 50 metres below MCW-10-01
with the most significant result being 8.8gpt over 1.2 metres.
Additionally, in the deeper MCW-10-02 drill hole, gold values in
the other parallel mineralized structures had appreciable higher
gold grades than in the shallower drill hole MCW-10-01 (see table
below). The results of these initial holes show that the JKL Zone
remains open both to the east and to depth and based on the two
holes reported, grades may to be improving with depth.
Drill Holes MCW-10-3 and MCW-11-04 were drilled west of the
drill holes MCW-10-01 and MCW-10-02 and tested the western margin
of the JKL Vein system at depth. Results from these holes and the
two holes drilled at the 702 Zone are pending and will be released
once they have been received and compiled.

(i)Core length approximates true thickness
The McWatters Property covers 4.0 km of strike length along the
Cadillac-Larder Lake Break and includes the past-producing
McWatters Mine (reported past production of 334,500 tonnes grading
10.8 grams/t gold), and two diluted historical resources of 235,000
tonnes grading 6.6 grams/t gold and 170,000 tonnes grading 5.0
grams/t gold referred to as the JKL and 702 Zones. A Qualified
Person has not done sufficient work to classify these historical
estimates as current mineral resources, Savant is not treating the
historical estimates as current mineral resources and the
historical estimates should not be relied upon. The historical
resources were shallowly tested to depths less than 225 metres and
remain open at depth. One of the historical resources occurs within
a broad zone of alteration in mafic volcanic rocks along the main
Cadillac-Larder Lake Break. The style and setting of the
mineralization in this historical resource is similar to that in
the high-grade, deep seated gold deposits in the Kirkland Lake
District including the Kerr Addison Mine (39.5 Mt grading 8.5
grams/t gold).
Little exploration has occurred on the property away from the
McWatters Mine and the historical resources. In these areas,
testing of the main Cadillac-Larder Lake Break and secondary
parallel structures, which host the gold mineralization on the
property, is generally limited to depths in the order of 150
metres. The historical records note encouraging drill intercepts of
2 to 6 grams/t gold over narrow intervals in a parallel structure
located north of the main Cadillac-Larder Break which warrants
additional drilling. Savant has an option to acquire a 100%
interest in the McWatters Property (See Savant press November 9,
2010 for details).
