CALGARY, July 25, 2012 -
Manson Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MCK) ('Manson Creek') is pleased to announce the receipt of final Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical data from its Tell Project in the Yukon. The geophysical survey covered an area of the claim block hosting seven mineralized natural spring gossans.
The IP survey identified a large zone of chargeability, interpreted to represent sulfides, that correlates well with the mineralized gossans at surface. The zone of chargeability strikes northwest and has a strike length of over 500 meters as it continues to the northwest and southeast beyond the bounds of the geophysical grid. The anomaly has an apparent width of 100 meters and continues to depth off the pseudo sections. This potentially sulfide bearing zone is an excellent target for precious metals and has significant size potential. The chargeability zone corresponds with a zone of low resistivity, interpreted to represent a hydrothermal alteration zone.
Manson Creek is fully permitted for camp construction and diamond drilling on the Tell project and is actively pursuing funding for diamond drilling to test the outstanding targets present on the property.
Tell Project Background
Work on the Tell property in 2011 led to the discovery of six new mineralized natural spring gossans. These discoveries were in addition to the strongly mineralized Tell showing. The new discoveries extend over an area of 600 meters east to west and over 450 meters north to south with the mineralization remaining open in all directions. The 2,200 hectare Tell property is located immediately south of ATAC Resources Ltd.'s Rau claim block. The Company believes the seven Tell property gossans to be of extreme significance due to the number of successful drill discoveries made on similar gossans in the region. The Tell gossans, which have not been drill tested to date, bear remarkable similarities to the ATAC Resources Ltd.'s Ocelot discovery that was made by drill testing a natural spring gossan displaying similar strongly anomalous zinc and other pathfinder elements.
