Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. Files NI 43-101 Gold Resource Report on the 257 Level of the Kenville Gold Mine and Expands Resource
October 08 2009 - 7:00AM
PR Newswire (US)
VANCOUVER, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- (TSXV: ASW) (OTCBB:
ASWRF) (FRANKFURT: AMO.F) Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. is pleased to
announce that the technical (geological) report (the "257 Report")
on the 257 Level of the Company's Kenville Gold Mine (the "Mine")
located near Nelson, British Columbia has been completed in
accordance with NI 43-101. The Report is available in its entirety
on SEDAR and the Company's website (http://www.anglo-swiss.com/).
The author of the 257 Report is Richard Munroe, FGAC, P.Geo., of
Munroe Geological Services Ltd., an independent Qualified Person as
defined by NI 43-101. Scope of the Report The historic workings of
the Kenville Gold Mine are extensive, with over five kilometres of
drifts on six different Levels. The Report has only undertaken a
gold resource estimate for the 257 Level. Exploration work to
facilitate additional gold resource estimation on other Levels is
commencing, as will be discussed below in this news release.
Mineral Resource Estimates for the 257 Level The recent exploration
of the 257 Level has been a success as new zones of high grade gold
values have been identified in the Mine. The work done during the
2008/2009 program has resulted in the determination of updated
grades and tonnages of mineralized rock for the 257 Level. The
figures are only from zones currently open in the 257 Level or in
immediate proximity to those workings and supersede the figures
from the initial resource estimate contained in the Company's news
release dated August 5, 2009. They do not include any of the
surface showings, vein systems intersected by distal exploration
drilling or dump materials. The measured and indicated values in
the following table were derived from the current assay data
developed in the 2008/2009 program for the 257 Level. All values
were from the double lab process and no historical data was used to
obtain these values.

Estimates are based on an assumed continuity beyond measured and
(or) indicated resources, for which there is geological evidence.
Inferred resources may or may not be supported by samples or
measurements. All inferred blocks require re-estimation using
proximate sampling and assay data before any economic analysis, and
it is likely that significant variations in inferred block grades
will occur on re-examination. The surface and underground drill
programs currently awaiting permitting will augment the drill work
undertaken by the Company since 2007. The new drilling will tie
previous drilling to the historical records and should expand the
known structure of the Company's property. The 257 Level is located
under only a small fraction of the 180.98 hectare Crown Grant area
and does not include any of the 335.82 hectare mineral claim area.
The recent acquisition of an option to acquire a 60% interest in
the Ron Gold Group of claims adds 1,492 contiguous hectares to the
south of the Company's property boundary. Report Recommendations
The Company has identified three areas of exploration interest
below the main Mine to the east of Eagle Creek, known as the West,
Middle and East "Deeps" or "Deep Zones". Such areas have never been
drilled. The enriched vein fluids appear to have several sources at
depth and may assist in explaining the distinct geochemical
variations found in both the vertical and horizontal veins. Much of
the dyke fills appear to come from the West Deeps. This may show a
different magmatic source rock since the dyke fills contain totally
different materials. While the orientation of the three of the main
known veins east of Eagle Creek appear to be from a deep eastern
source, the Hardscrabble, Hardup and Poorman veins may have a
source roughly 100 metres (328 feet) below the 257 Level of the
main Mine area. To further understand this "Deeps" source theory,
the west side of Eagle Creek was examined with additional cross
sectional analysis of known veins and faults. Under the Venango
vein system the assorted sub parallel veins were assembled into a
pre-shear status and another deep target was also identified. This
area of exploration was called the Venango Deep Zone. In this
situation, the faults and veins all seem to have a single source
again at a 100 metres (328 foot) depth below the 257 Level. The 257
Report recommends that diamond drilling from surface be conducted
above the Deeps exploration zones to locate possible zones of
potential mineral enrichment feed for the existing veins. The first
diamond drill hole pad is planned for just south of the 275 Level
adit east of Eagle Creek. This pad should drill at least three
holes expected to intersect the Middle and East Deeps. The Company
expects both drill permits to be in place shortly. The Company is
working on the underground extension of the KP-50 sub drift and
slashing of the identified veins along the crosscut on the 257
Level. Ladder work is required to access the upper stopes to better
identify the mineralogy and zonation of the veins. Further drift
extensions should also be developed starting with the areas of the
KP 50 sub drift. The 257 Report recommends that the sub-drift
currently ending at KP 50 be advanced roughly 375 metres to gain
access to the four Eagle Veins that were located by the drilling
programs over the past few years. The Eagle Vein system strikes
approximately 700 metres to the south and hosts the typical high
grade quartz veins found in the 257 Level. This drift advance will
provide additional RQD (Rock Quality Designations for strength
integrity) and structural information on the rock faces to the
east. The next steps to be taken in the development of the 257
Level revolve primarily around the final completion of the recently
upgraded crushing and mill circuit so that production of the 1,000
tonnes and, subsequently, 10,000 tonnes, bulk sample programs can
commence. The rail car drop chute system will have to be completed
as well to allow the mill to accept the mineralized rock. The
underground diamond drilling program discussed in the 257 Report is
expected to commence shortly to start blocking out areas for the
primary mining. Additional examinations of high grade zones located
during the program should allow the Company to better gauge the
feed stock head grade potentials and locate new drift locations.
The drill program is expected to continue over several years and
along with the surface exploration will be permanent programs with
assorted phases and changes based on any new discoveries. 2009/2010
Proposed Exploration & Development The Company has identified
the following goals as it continues its exploration and development
of the entire Kenville Gold Mine property. The recent option
agreement to acquire a 60% interest in the Ron Gold Group of claims
greatly enhances the Company's land position to the south, which
extends the potential strike length of the regional geological
trend along the Silver King Shear. The Silver King Shear is host to
numerous historical gold and other metals mines in southeastern
British Columbia including the Company's Kenville Gold Mine. 1.
Continue with underground exploration on the 275 Level for sampling
of the high grade quartz vein structure similar to that undertaken
for the 257 Level. A NI 43-101 technical (geological) report is
planned to be completed to add and expand upon the Company's
existing mineral resource estimate of the 257 Level. 2. Initiate
underground diamond drilling on receipt of permitting from the
Ministry of Energy, Mines & Petroleum Resources (the
"Ministry"). There are currently 23 strategic drill sites selected
within the 257 Level and each site is expected to have six holes
fanned out for approximately 90 metres per leg. This drill program
has been designed to extend the boundaries of the known vein
structures and add more resources to the measured and indicated
categories. 3. Initiate surface diamond drilling with the first
locations selected to drill the West, Middle and East Deeps
identified within the 257 Report, which are located below the main
Mine to the east of Eagle Creek. Subsequently, the Venango Deeps
are planned to be drilled from surface. 4. Drift underground
approximately 375 metres from KP 50 of the 257 Level to the Eagle
Vein system striking approximately 700 metres to the south. The
Eagle Vein system hosts four quartz veins similar in nature to
those found in the 257 Level. 5. Conduct an extensive drill and
geophysics exploration program on a potential copper, gold, silver
and molybdenum porphyry target that strikes 700 metres to the south
west and possibly extending onto the Ron Gold Group property. 6.
Complete the installation of the Company's upgraded pilot plant
mill operations in order to process the initial bulk sample of
1,000 tonnes and, subsequently, 10,000 tonnes. Any revenues in
excess of cost received from the production of gold would assist in
funding the Company's overall operations. 7. Develop a NI 43-101
compliant program to determine the grade and tonnage of the old
Mine waste dumps on the surface of the Kenville Gold Mine property
so that the Company can amend its Quarry Permit. In addition, the
Company has completed an NI 43-101 technical (geological) report
for its southwestern sand and gravel resource. Development of this
resource is being planned for a spring 2010 start. A technical
report prepared for the Company by Mr. Munroe in March 2009 stated
that in excess of 16.5 million tonnes of surface sand and gravel
has been identified on a portion of the Kenville Gold Mine
property. This report is also available in its entirety on SEDAR
and the Company's website (http://www.anglo-swiss.com/). Qualified
