Yale’s Optionee Completes First Phase Work Program at Urique

Business Wire
Yale Resources Ltd. (Pink Sheets: YRLLF, TSX-V – YLL, OTCBB –
YRLLF, and FSE – YAB) is pleased to report that optionee Mammoth
Resources Corp. has announced the completion of the first phase of
its comprehensive work program and that further work is planned for
the 290 square kilometre Urique Project, located in Chihuahua
State, Mexico. Work at Urique was performed by Yale on behalf of
Mammoth.
As reported by Mammoth on October 9, 2012:
“ The field exploration program spanned seven months beginning
December 2011 and involved prospecting, detailed mapping,
trenching, rehabilitation of the underground workings at the el
Rosario mine, and sampling. A total of 597 rock samples and 74
geochemical samples were taken from a total of 25 occurrences
and/or targets (3 occurrences in the northern portion of the
property; “Urique North”, and 22 occurrences in the southern
portion of the property; “Urique South”).
A number of very attractive grades of gold and silver were
obtained from the rehabilitated, historic El Rosario mine at Urique
South. Assays from this program help to add to and substantiate
historical sample results from the underground workings, including
the following highlight intersections:
- 1.7 m grading 9.74 g/t gold and 356.7
gpt silver (16.23 g/t gold equivalent);
- 1.2 m grading 5.16 g/t gold and 153.8
g/t silver (7.96 g/t gold equivalent);
- 5.0 m grading 0.78 g/t gold and 257.0
g/t silver (4.45 g/t gold equivalent); and
- 2.3 m grading 1.69 g/t gold and 153.8
g/t silver (3.37 g/t gold equivalent).
Note: m = metres, g/t = grams per tonne. Gold equivalent
is calculated by converting silver grades to a “gold equivalent”
based on a 55:1 grams of silver per gram of gold basis as a means
to measure total combined precious metal content.
Mammoth President and CEO, Thomas Atkins, commented on these
results, stating: “When we plotted the combined gold and silver
assay results at El Rosario as a gold equivalent for contouring
purposes, we were very intrigued to see the frequency, distribution
and grades of gold and silver throughout the underground workings.
Looking at these results we see a number of areas in red indicating
combined grades at, or in excess of five grams per tonne gold
equivalent, hosted in possible mineralized shoots. The historic
workings cover an approximate 150 metre by 150 metre area in an
intensely silicified volcanic host rock not unlike the rocks that
host the deposits of our neighbors and which we believe could be
indicative of the ground’s proximity to a strong hydrothermal
source at depth. At present we’re looking into interpreting some
historical geophysical data for insights into structures and
mineralization. We’re also investigating the cost and feasibility
of drill testing these mineralized shoots at depth in a cost
efficient manner with the objective of determining the extent to
which grade and the dimensions of the gold-silver mineralized
structures are enhanced at depth."
Summary of Urique South 2012 Field Exploration
Program
Initial work in the southern portion of the Urique Project
concentrated on an approximate four kilometre by four kilometre
area surrounding the town of Urique. To date, the most important
target identified was the alteration and mineralization observed
within the old workings at the El Rosario mine.
The property geology is predominantly underlain Tertiary aged
felsic volcaniclastic rocks which overlie a lower volcanic sequence
of andesitic flows and breccias, as well as intermediate
composition volcano-sedimentary rocks. Granodioritic rocks intrude
the lower volcanic sequence in the Urique canyon south of the town
of Urique. Small intrusions/dykes were observed but generally not
mapped in detail. Several mineralized occurrences are present
within the property; they can be overall described mainly as low to
intermediary sulphidation epithermal veins/ breccias structure
hosted with the lower volcanic sequence.
A total of 22 targets were studied during the first phase field
exploration program. The most attractive of these areas is the El
Rosario area including the historic mine working at El Rosario.
This area consists of narrow north-south to north five degrees east
oriented and steeply dipping 70-75 degree northwest veins which
could equally be described as sheared veins or breccias. Gold and
silver plus minor amounts of copper, lead and zinc are confined
within the veins and structures with few anomalous values present
in the wall rock.
Recent surface mapping highlighted the fact that the veins are
not straight but are located in a flexure point of the general
north-south regional structural trend near-vertical andesite to
dioritic dykse and normal faults which may suggest the presence of
discordant structures in the Rosario target area. Flexures along
mineralized structures and the intersection between structures are
generally excellent target areas where major dilation can occur and
create large mineralized ore shoots.
Based on these results it is recommended that further
exploration work be undertaken to investigate mineralization at
depth. The company is currently looking into interpreting some
historical geophysical data for insights into structures and
mineralization at depth and is investigating the cost to drill test
mineralized shoots at depth in order to determine the extent to
which gold-silver mineralized structures and grade may become
enhanced at depth.”
About Yale Resources:

Ian Foreman, P.Geo., is Yale’s Qualified
Person, according to National Instrument 43-101, for the Urique
property and is responsible for any technical data mentioned in
this news release.
Samples from Urique were prepared and
analyzed by IPL Inspectorate in their facilities in Mexico and
Vancouver, respectively. Samples generally consisted of 1-3 kg of
material. Gold analyses were performed by 30 gram fire assay with
an AA finish. Silver, copper, lead and zinc were analyzed as part
of a multi-element ICP package using an aqua regia digestion. Over
limit samples with greater than 1% Cu, Pb and Zn were re-analyzed
using ore grade detection limits.
