Hunt Gold Corporation (PINKSHEETS: HGLC) announced yesterday, the
assay results from the first five drill holes of its first recently
completed drill campaign at the Company's "Mockingbird" Gold
Project in Arizona. The assay work was done by Jacobs Assay of
Tucson, Arizona.
The Company releases the remainder of the Assay Results for the
remaining three drill holes:
-- All of the first eight drill holes encountered Gold Mineralization.
Eighth Drill Hole encountered High Grade Gold. The Assay Results have
matched and in fact beaten, the Company's Management expectations.
-- Based upon proven historical geological drilling and Assay Results and
data supported by the current ongoing exploration work at the Company's
"Mockingbird" Gold Property, Management was correct in its statement
yesterday, where we stated that we are of the opinion that the new
extensive drilling and exploration campaign will yield considerably higher
grades than detailed in this announcement and considers this substantial
investment to be justified.
-- Initial Assay Results clearly prove that Management's decision to embark
upon the Company's new "Non Stop" Drilling Campaign at considerable expense
is justified based upon the initial phase of drilling and the subsequent
Assay results announced today. Management considers its decision to
authorize the US$10 million in Convertible Bonds to be sound and sensible
given the proven Gold Mineralization of its small initial drilling
campaign; now allowing for a massive drilling program to commence without
delay.
-- New Drilling Contracts to be announced this week and to commence without
delay. Bids for 5,000 feet of reverse circulation (RC) drilling have been
solicited from the final two preferred drilling companies. The Company is
currently in the second round of this bidding. This RC drilling will be at
a dramatically lower cost per foot than the core drilling done for the
first drill campaign.
-- An additional 320 acres of mining claims have been staked this week,
bringing the Company's "Mockingbird" Gold Project claims to almost 3,000
acres.
Hunt Gold Corporation's CEO, Michael G Saner, stated that he is
"delighted with the success of the Company's initial campaign and
the Assay Results published yesterday and today; which clearly
prove that the Company's 'Mockingbird' Gold Property is extremely
viable." He added that "the new extensive drilling campaign will
now prove up significant additional Gold reserves. In short, the
Company's Management is absolutely delighted with these initial
results."
Hunt Gold Corporation is pleased to announce the assay results
for the last three drill holes from its recent eight hole drill
campaign at the Company's "Mockingbird" Gold Property in
Arizona.
High grade gold was found in the last (8th) drill hole at the
Company's "Dandy Gold Mine" on the Company's "Mockingbird Gold
Property." The interval from 105 to 108 feet assayed .16 ounces of
gold per ton. This interval is in the hanging wall of the Dandy
vein.
The high grade of gold intercepted by the 8th drill hole at the
Dandy Mine is consistent with the historic production at the Dandy
Mine: 2,500 ounces of gold were produced in the early 20th century
from gold ore with an average grade of one ounce of gold per ton.
And, as previously announced, past sampling of dumps at the Dandy
Mine had gold values up to two ounces per ton.
The fact that gold mineralization with a grade of .16 ounces per
ton was not previously mined is especially exciting, since this
interval was in the hanging wall of an old stope (mine working).
This suggests that there may be a substantial un-mined gold
resource at the Dandy Gold Mine that was considered too low grade
to mine 100 years ago, but could be profitably mined today at the
much higher current gold market price.
The Dandy Gold Mine is a likely target for substantial footage
of RC drilling during the next drilling campaign commencing
shortly.
It should also be stressed that all of the eight holes from the
drill campaign encountered gold mineralization.
The assay results for gold and silver for the 6th, 7th and 8th
drill holes are:

For the purposes of providing a complete overview of the Assay
Results from the initial campaign, we are including the results
released yesterday, to provide stockholders with all of the data
from the initial Drill Campaign:
Two holes at the Company's "Great West Gold Mine" on the
"Mockingbird" Gold property encountered especially encouraging gold
intervals: GW-08-1, 110 feet to 115 feet, .070 ounces of gold per
ton and GW-08-04, 105 feet to 110 feet, .041 ounces of gold per
ton. Open pit gold mines in the Arizona / California / Nevada
region have profitably mined gold that assayed as low as .02 ounces
per ton, although establishment of the cutoff grade for mining at
Mockingbird will need to await preparation of the feasibility
study, which will require several more rounds of drilling.
As previously announced, the Company is well underway in
establishing a geochemical control grid at the property. Over 50
rock chip samples have been taken so far from numerous historic
workings throughout the 4+ square mile property. Upon completion of
this work, the anomalous values for gold, silver and copper (a
pathfinder element at the Company's "Mockingbird" Gold Property)
will be mapped, contoured and used to select drill sites for the
next drill campaign.
The main targets for the next round of drilling will be in the
vicinity of the low-angle Mockingbird Detachment Fault, which is a
sub-horizontal interface between the older Precambrian rocks and
the younger overlying upper plate Tertiary volcanic rocks. This
zone was mined at the Mockingbird Mine itself and hosted a majority
of the Mockingbird District's historic production of 15,000 ounces
of gold.
The assay results for gold and silver for the first five holes
are:
