ANSELL REPORTS HIGH GRADE MINERALIZATION IN 6 DRILL HOLES ON THE CHARLOTTE PROPERTY NEAR CARMACKS, YUKON TERRITORY
Ansell Capital Corp.
("Ansell") is pleased to report
that it has received from Guinness Exploration Inc ("Guinness")
results from the first six of fourteen drill holes completed by
Guinness on the Charlotte Project, located near Mt. Nansen in the
prolific Tintina gold belt, Yukon Territory, Canada. Ansell has
entered into an option agreement on the property with Guinness as
announced October 14, 2010. Core drilling was conducted to confirm
prior drill intercepts and to expand on known gold and silver
mineralization along strike and down dip. The drill program
comprised a total of 1451.68 metres in fourteen diamond drill holes
in the Flex zone, one of five known mineralized zones on the
property. The drill holes were chosen to test 450 m of the strike length of the Flex Zone at various depths as a follow-up to previous shallow drilling on the zone. This new drilling has both extended the potential in terms of extent (both along strike and down dip) and grade/thickness, and has confirmed historic results.
Results from these first six holes are
tabulated below.
The Flex Zone occurs as two sub-parallel anastamosing quartz-sulfide vein systems, known historically as the "Hanging Wall" and "Footwall" veins. Veins host strong gold and silver mineralization associated primarily with pyrite and lesser arsenopyrite, stibnite, galena and sphalerite. Veins often exhibit propylitic, phyllitic, argillic and silicic alteration in broad alteration envelopes.
The Flex Zone is hosted in an assemblage of metamorphic rocks comprised dominantly of quartz-feldspar±chlorite gneiss which grades locally into quartzite. Dark green amphbolite gneiss, comprised of equal parts plagioclase and actinolite, is commonly intercalated with the quartz-feldspar gneiss. These older rocks are cut by narrow quartz-feldspar dykes and sills. The north end of the Flex Zone, in the vicinity of 10-240 and 241, is underlain by a quartz-feldspar porphyry stock at depth.
Results are pending for the remainder of the drill holes, as well as for extensive trenching which was carried out on two new mineral targets.
Chris M. Healey. P. Geo, a Director of Ansell, is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical information in this release. Mr. Healey commented, "These drill results clearly indicate the excellent potential to develop a bulk tonnage gold deposit on the Flex Zone. Gold grades and widths are comparable to a number of well known Yukon deposits. The Flex Zone is one of five known auriferous zones on the property. With Ansell's newly acquired option on this property, we look forward to aggressively advancing the project. It is significant to note that the Fraser Institute, in its mid-year update to its 2010 Mining Survey, ranked the Yukon as the fourth most favourable jurisdiction in the world for mining activities."
