JOURNEY RESOURCES CORP. ANNOUNCES
COMMENCEMENT OF WORK PROGRAM ON THE MUSGROVE CREEK GOLD PROJECT
Vancouver, B.C. – JOURNEY RESOURCES CORP. (“Journey”)announces that it has received approval from all regulatory bodies in the state of Idaho to commence a drilling program on the 100% owned Musgrove Creek Gold Project. Journey will drill five diamond core holes totalling 600 meters to test the new discovery on the “Johny Northwest Target area”. The holes can be collared from the existing access road constructed in 2007 to access the 2009 drill sites without additional permitting or cost. Journey expects drilling to commence by mid to late June 2009 using Journey owned Hydrocore 2000 core drill. Journey will permit and drill additional holes into this zone during the 2009 field season to help establish it’s size and limits.
Musgrove Creek is an advanced gold exploration project located in Lemhi County, Idaho, approximately 24 km (15 miles) southwest of the recently mined Beartrack gold deposit. The property is accessed from Salmon or Challis, Idaho by about 80 km (50 miles) of paved, gravel and dirt roads.
Musgrove Creek contains a NI 43-101 Inferred Mineral Resource estimate of 8 million tonnes at 1.22 g/t Au (0.036 oz/ton) at a gold cut-off of 0.8 g/t (0.023 oz/ton). This is equivalent to 9,761 kg (313,822 oz) of gold at zero dilution (Gruenwald and Makepeace, 2004). Recent exploration activity conducted at Musgrove is focused on adding to that resource with the objective of establishing a minable deposit.
Jack Bal, President and CEO ofJourneycommented: “We are excited to commence drilling on the Johny Northwest Target area during the 2009 season”
