Press Release #03-14 September 26, 2003 | TSX Venture Exchange: CXP |
BIG BULK DRILLING RESULTS
Canadian Empire Exploration Corp. ("Canadian Empire") completed 1664 metres (5460 feet) of diamond drilling in 11 holes during the first phase of drilling on its Big Bulk copper-gold property located in the Kitsault region of northern British Columbia.
The presently defined 1250 metre long by 300 metre wide Big Bulk copper-gold zone was drill-tested with 8 holes drilled in three different sectional locations. All holes intersected intervals of pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization to an approximate depth of 200 metres.
The first 5 holes tested the "Bonnie Zone", an area where surface sampling returned 0.9% copper and 0.83 g/t gold over a 70-metre interval. Results for the 3 best holes are reported:
Hole | Interval (m) | Assay |
Number | From | To | Length | Au (g/t) | Cu (%) |
BB03-01 | 8.84 | 21.03 | 12.19 | 0.41 | 0.68 |
BB03-02 | 11.89 142.95 | 33.22 195.99 | 21.33 53.03 | 0.58 0.20 | 0.79 0.31 |
BB03-03 | 5.79 | 33.22 | 27.43 | 0.42 | 0.64 |
Hole 6, drilled under an area of exposed copper mineralization 800 metres east of the Bonnie Zone, did not intersect significant copper-gold values.
Drill holes 7 and 8 were drilled 250 metres southwest of the Bonnie Zone.
Hole | Interval (m) | Assay |
Number | From | To | Length | Au (g/t) | Cu (%) |
BB03-07 | 11.89 | 21.03 | 9.14 | 0.18 | 0.45 |
BB03-08 | 85.04 | 91.14 | 6.10 | 0.22 | 0.47 |
Drill holes 9, 10 and 11 were drilled in the vicinity of a new discovery of visible gold within a quartz vein system located 400 metres southwest of the Bonnie Zone. Although anomalous gold values were intersected, no economically significant assays were obtained. The coarse-grain gold mineralization in quartz veins is hosted within the potassic core of an intensely altered hornblende-feldspar porphyry. A detailed program of mapping, prospecting and sampling is warranted prior to the next round of drilling.
Wayne J. Roberts, P. Geo. and VP, Exploration of Canadian Empire, is the designated Qualified Person for the Big Bulk Project. Mr. Roberts supervises drill hole planning, implementation and QC/QA programs. Drill core analysis is performed on split core with standard fire assay procedures and AA finish. All analysis is performed by EcoTech Laboratories in Kamloops, B.C.
Canadian Empire may earn an 80% interest in the Big Bulk Property from Teck Cominco Limited ("Teck Cominco") by making staged exploration expenditures of $800,000 by December 31, 2005 and then maintaining that interest by funding ongoing exploration through pre-feasibility. Teck Cominco may then back-in to an aggregate 60.8% interest in the project by funding a minimum of 200% of Canadian Empire’s prior expenditures and completing a feasibility study.
The Canadian Empire / Teck Cominco Advisory Committee will now review recommendations for ongoing exploration at Big Bulk as well as initiation of a 2003 drilling program on the Hemlo West Property in Ontario. Technical due diligence is in progress with respect to the option of an additional drill-ready gold project in Ontario.
