GOLD – BCGold Corp. March 3 reported receipt of high-grade gold assay results from recent underground channel sampling on four veins at the company’s historical high-grade Engineer Mine Property, situated 32 kilometers, or 20 miles, west of Atlin, B.C. Channel samples containing variable amounts of visible electrum, a gold-bearing silver mineral, collected from accessible underground vein exposures on Level 5 assayed up to 794.02 grams per metric ton gold and 642.33 g/t silver, across vein widths up to 0.5 meters (or 264.68 g/t gold and 214.11 g/t silver over a 1.5-meter minimum mining width). Channel sample results demonstrate that pockets of bonanza-grade gold mineralization remain in at least four veins on Level 5 at Engineer mine, the company said. Discrete vertical high-grade ore shoots is the principle mode of gold and silver mineralization at Engineer mine. “Engineer Mine is very unique in terms of gold grade and shoot geometry,” said BCGold President and CEO Brian P. Fowler. “You are either in exceptional, multi-ounce material or you are in low grade. The old timers drifted on structure and mined on grade. Gold grades exceeding 1,000 oz/ton were not uncommon in select historic underground stopes.” BCGold intends to drill test two veins between the fifth and eighth levels of the mine in 2010 from underground, testing the dip extensions of high-grade shoots defined by historic and recent sampling on the Engineer and Double Decker veins. It is on the eighth level, along the Double Decker Vein, that historic sampling records indicate a 24.7-meter section averaged 38.0 g/t gold, containing a 10.0 meter interval averaging 84.3 g/t gold, across the width of the drift (Brinker Report, 1927). BCGold Corp. intends to target a number of drill holes in the vicinity of this mineralization in 2010.
