UPDATE ON Molybdenum Silver, Copper and Zinc on the Lone Pine Property
Bard Ventures Ltd. ("Bard" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an upcoming fall exploration drill program on the companies Lone Pine Project to follow-up on encouraging results intersected in a new area of molybdenum mineralization referred to as the 61 Zone. The Lone Pine Molybdenum Property is located 15 kilometers north-northwest of Houston, BC in the Omineca Mining Division.
The 2010 winter drill program completed nine (9) NQ drill holes from four drill sites totaling 3427m. Of significant interest are the results received from six (6) drill holes BD-10-61 to BD-10-66 which were collared from a common drill pad to evaluate a newly discovered zone of significant molybdenum mineralization. This newly discovered zone of molybdenum mineralization is referred to as the 61 Zone which is located along the northern contact of the Quartz Feldspar Granite Intrusive, 500m to the northeast of the Alaskite Zone Resource.
Drill holes BD-10-61 (431.9m) and BD-10-62 (505.05m) were collared along an azimuth of 18degrees with drill hole angles of -45degrees and -65degrees respectively. Drill holes BD-10-63 (438.27m) and BD-10-64 (108.81m) were collared along a drill hole azimuth of 45degrees at angles of -45degrees and -65degrees respectively. Drill hole BD-10-64 was terminated early due to excessive deviation. Drill holes BD-10-65 (541.63m) and BD-10-66 (529.44m) were collared along a drill hole azimuth of 344degrees at -45degrees and -65degrees respectively. The above pattern of drill holes evaluated the newly discovered zone of quartz vein hosted molybdenum mineralization over a strike length of approximately 110m in an east-west direction to vertical depths of approximately 350m. Significant molybdenum mineralization has been intersected with intervals averaging 0.05%Mo over drilled widths up to 112.4m with higher grade intersections averaging 0.1%Mo over drilled widths of 9.0m. Significant intervals of silver enrichment is associated with the Quartz Feldspar Granite intrusive reporting up to 5.1gm Ag over drilled intervals of 24.9m and 12.51gm Ag over drilled widths of 37.2m associated with intervals of molybdenum mineralization. Scattered narrow intervals of vein hosted copper, lead, zinc and silver mineralization were intersected with results reporting up to 134.6gm Ag, 1.465% Cu, 0.712% Pb and 2.17% Zn over a drilled width of 0.9m. Mineralization is associated with quartz veining hosted in altered Hornfelsed Volcanic, Granodiorite, Alaskite and Quartz Feldspar Granite Intrusive.
The Company is very encouraged by these results highlighting the potential of the newly discovered 61 Zone mineralization located along the northern contact of the Quartz Feldspar Granite Intrusive which remains open to extension both along strike and to depth. Additional drilling is warranted to fully evaluate the potential of this exciting new zone.
Crews will be mobilized to the property to commence the second phase of the 2010 exploration drill program. The fall drill program will continue its evaluation of the newly discovered 61 Zone mineralization as well as additional infill drilling of the Alaskite Zone.
The Lone Pine Property currently has a calculated measured and indicated resource at a 0.04% Mo cutoff of 110,340,000 tonnes grading 0.083% Mo containing 201,733,000 in-situ pounds of molybdenum. (Please refer to News Release dated January 22, 2009 for full resource disclosure).
