Ascot Resources Continues to Expand a Large Gold System With Numerous Gold Intersections Including High Grade Values

08.09.2011 | 18:44 Uhr | Marketwired
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - Sept. 8, 2011) - Ascot Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AOT) is pleased to announce an update on drilling results from its successful 2011 exploration program at Premier. The 2011 drilling campaign continues to confirm the property has potential for both bulk tonnage and higher grade underground epithermal gold/silver targets.

Wide zones of gold and silver mineralization are encountered in many of the areas demonstrating bulk tonnage potential. Highlights include:

Hole # 	From (m) 	To (m) 	Interval (m) 	Au g/t 	Ag g/t 		Area

PR-11-124 161.54 318.00 156.46 1.38 2.1 Big Missouri
PR-11-128 152.65 215.00 62.35 1.44 60.0 Dago
PR-11-130 169.00 281.00 112.00 0.84 3.0 Big Missouri
PR-11-141 10.00 102.50 92.50 1.94* 2.9 Creek Zone
PR-11-148 5.18 84.00 78.82 1.00 4.4 Province
PR-11-155 31.38 135.54 104.16 0.58 9.8 Unicorn
PR-11-158 23.39 86.00 62.61 3.74* 4.4 Unicorn
PR-11-169 252.00 364.66 112.66 2.30* 2.7 Big Missouri

*NB some holes contain uncut high grade values-1 opt Au cut in detailed tables

A number of areas have also encountered visible gold and/or electrum with several results still pending from the lab. While work is only in the initial phase high grade visible gold intersections appear to be traceable as subvertical north - south striking structures over 100+ meter strike lengths. Highlights include:

Hole # 	From (m) 	To (m) 	Interval (m) 	Au g/t 	Ag g/t 		Area

PR-11-128 155.00 157.00 2.00 22.90 1545.0 Dago
PR-11-141 83.00 85.00 2.00 41.10 82.2 Creek
PR-11-158 53.00 55.00 2.00 99.20 198.4 Unicorn
PR-11-159 218.19 219.00 0.81 841.00 297.0 Big Missouri
PR-11-169 281.59 282.55 0.96 208.00 42.3 Big Missouri

The Premier property is analogous to the epithermal system at Pretium's (PVG) Brucejack property located 40 km's to the north in the same geological environment (resource MI & inferred of 839.5mt containing 20.74 MOz Au and 267.4 MOz Ag (Pretium Feb 2011-43-101)). In 2011 the region historically known as the Big Missouri area is being drill tested covering portions of the historic Unicorn, S1, Dago, Northstar, Creek and Province/Big Missouri zones and will be drilled at sufficient density to provide an initial 43-101 resource in this large target area (approximate 50 meter centres). The surface extent of showings and alteration in this area covers a surface area of approximately 3.0 square kilometres.

The budget for 2011 is now increased, due to positive initial results, to $4.0-$4.5 million, consisting of an expansion to a 30,000-35,000 meter drill campaign of approximately 125 diamond drill holes. To date 95 holes have been completed for a total of 23,772 m's. Lab results are well behind drilling, as currently we are waiting assays on 28 holes, the majority of which were drilled on the previously unexplored Unicorn area.

Drilling to date has been consistently encountering multiple shallow west dipping mineralized zones across a width of 900 meters east-west and over a north-south distance of 1300 meters in an area including portions of the historic showing areas. This is only a portion of the surface Big Missouri target area and the present program will not manage to infill the entire surface target area in the 2011 season. Almost all holes to date have encountered gold mineralization and mineralization still remains open in all directions. This area is now believed to be a single large coherent gold system. Multiple shallow west dipping quartz stockwork zones and quartz breccias bodies are offset by a number of generally north-south striking, west dipping faults. These stacked zones individually range from 20-200+ meters in apparent thickness.

Drills are now focussed in the Unicorn area where a series of previously unrecognized Premier porphyry bodies are present along the Dago Unicorn north south trend. These causative intrusions appear to focus and thicken mineralization in this central area. This area is particularly encouraging as mineralization is very shallow, commonly exposed on surface. Early drill results in this unexplored area have returned values such as hole #158 returning 62.61m's grading 3.74 g/t Au and 4.4 g/t Ag at a shallow depth and 2010 hole #51 which returned 132.00 meters grading 1.07 g/t Au and 4.4 g/t Ag. Drilling is encountering thicker alteration zones with more stockwork and quartz breccias bodies than generally encountered in other areas. This mineralization has recently been traced on surface for an additional 400 meters east of the present drilling under a thin cap of unconformably overlying Dilworth felsic volcanic and this expands the historic surface footprint of the system.

Additional drill results will be released as received. Results tables and plan maps with hole locations and sections are posted on the Ascot web site www.ascotresources.ca.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Analytical work is being carried out by SGS Canada Inc. in Vancouver, BC. Quality assurance and quality control programs include the use of analytical blanks and standards and duplicates in addition to the labs own internal quality assurance program. Samples containing greater than 10 g/t silver, 10 g/t gold and greater than 10,000 ppm (1%) lead and zinc are routinely re-assayed. Identified or suspected metallic gold or silver are subjected to "metallics" assays. Sampling and storage are at the company's secure facility in Stewart with weekly sample shipments made to SGS Labs.
