Mega management believe that their Laverty and East My-Ritt properties are all part of a much larger gold system that encompasses the adjacent Howey, Hasaga and Gold Shore mines which historically produced approximately 640,000 ounces of gold. Mega has an option to acquire a 100% interest in both Laverty and East My-Ritt properties. The property mineralization hosts two styles of gold mineralization, including the near surface, steeply dipping north-northwest striking diabase Dyke Zone, and the east-west trending, steeply dipping gold mineralization in sheared granodiorite.
Mega has compiled historic geological and geophysical work on the East My-Ritt and Laverty Properties and has completed geological mapping, outcrop stripping, channel sampling and INSIGHT Induced Polarization geophysical surveys. The Dyke Gold Zone was the first target to be tested (NI-43101 resource pending). Red Lake drilling continues to test other North Madsen targets with a planned 2010 diamond drilling program of at least 14,000m. The focus of that program will continue to confirm and extend other historic and new geophysical targets. Based on the results to date, Mega is considering the addition of up to 2 more drill rigs to accelerate resource delineation within the 1000 m long Laverty Main and Hanging Wall Corridor and the new Buffalo West zone. Mega continues to work towards the consolidation of adjacent properties.
The first 3000m deep Headway drill hole is currently at a depth of 2,059m. The hole has been in what Mega believes to be Balmer Rocks that consist of sericitic, quartz and feldspar phyric crystal tuff volcanics since 1935m. Between 655m and 1935m, the hole consisted of folded greywacke to polymictic conglomerate. The program has progressed slower than anticipated, however we are in the right place and seeing rocks that are consistent with our model. Success in this drill hole will be defined by biotite, arsenopyrite and silica alteration, ± Gold in Balmer rocks. http://www.megapmi.com/headway gallery.
The drill programs are being conducted under NI 43-101 quality assurance and quality control reporting standards. QA/QC procedures include the insertion of blind independent gold standards and blank samples in the sample stream. Assay results from channel samples were received from Accurassay Laboratories, mineral analysis laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario, accredited for preparation and mineral analysis utilizing both fire assay and screen metallic methods. A Chain of Custody protocol for the handling and shipping of samples is being rigorously followed.
Mr. Gord Yule, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration for Mega Precious Metals Inc. is the Qualified Person for the information contained in this press release and is a Qualified Person defined by National Instrument 43-101.
Jim Rogers, President and CEO, is former Chief Mine Geologist at the Dickenson Gold Mine, forerunner to the prolific Red Lake Mine complex and most recently Regional Exploration Manager for Goldcorp in the Red Lake gold camp.
The prolific Red Lake camp has produced more than 23 million ounces of gold and production of about 700,000 ounces of gold per year continue as the district’s production base from Goldcorp’s Red Lake Gold Mines. When compared to other camps, Red Lake is still a young and developing camp where consolidation, mechanization, improvements to processing technology and “Big Picture” economics will improve margins and drive future success.
Mega Precious Metals Inc. is a well financed Canadian-based mineral exploration company with several projects in Northwestern Ontario, Nunavut and the Yukon. The Company is committed to an accelerated growth strategy and is backed by a team of experienced mining experts and a strong financial position. The Company is poised for rapid expansion through quick response to new opportunities and changes in the market. Mega’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol MGP.
