KDSM News Klondike Star Expands Lone Star Zone
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Donald W. Flinn, P.Eng., Vice-President, Operations for Klondike Star
Mineral Corporation (OTCBB:KDSM) is pleased to announce the results from
the first 6 holes drilled at the Lone Star zone of the Lone Star Project
this summer. Holes 06LS-04 to 06LS-09 were drilled to the north of the
previously defined zone, near the historic Boulder Lode pit. Each hole
intersected broad zones of consistently mineralized low grade material
containing narrower intervals at higher grade (see following Table).
These six holes were drilled in pairs spaced 50 meters or 164 feet
apart, with HQ holes angled at -60 and -80 degrees to provide detailed
structural information. The holes were stepped out at least 60 meters to
the north from the collars of drill holes completed in 2005 and prior.
The zone appears to broaden to at least 100 meters wide in this area,
from a maximum width of about 80 meters where the zone has been
delineated further west. The zone also appears to remain open to the
north and east.The ongoing drill program subsequently stepped
out further to the north and east with 4 more holes, and then jumped to
the northwest to test for extensions in the O’Neil
gulch area. Drilling is expected to continue through October.
Gold on the property is present as coarse free gold, with pyrite in
disseminations, and locally is associated with narrow discordant quartz
veins. The mineralized zones are associated with quartz-carbonate-pyrite
alteration, and are hosted by felsic metavolcanic schist.
HQ size drill core is delivered to the core shack by the drill
contractor where the geological staff photographs and logs the core for
geological and geotechnical details. The core is then sawn in half
lengthwise using a diamond saw, with half core retained for future
examination. The half core samples are sealed and shipped via surface
freight to Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C., an ISO
9001:2000 accredited facility, where the core is dried, crushed and
analyzed for gold by metallic sieve fire assay.
