Gold discovery at Prospect Valley BC spurs field work

Berkwood Announces 2014 Prospect Valley Gold Property
Field Program Plans

Berkwood Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: BKR) (the “Company” or “Berkwood”) is pleased to announce plans for summer fieldwork on the Prospect Valley Gold Property near Merritt, British Columbia, Canada.

In 2013 geochemical sampling work on the property confirmed the continuity of the main soil anomaly and extended its length to 5000 metres indicating the large extent of the mineralizing system. See the updated geochemistry map below or click here.  To date, several areas of gold mineralization have been identified on the 10,871 Ha Prospect Valley Gold Property.  The majority of historic drilling has taken place in the centre of the claim block, along the Discovery Trend.  This drilling has outlined an extensive low grade epithermal gold system with indications of potential for additional and higher grade mineralization. The system remains open for expansion and other known zones of gold mineralization have yet to be drilled (see Berkwood news release dated January 25, 2012 for details).



The focus of this year’s work will be in preparation for a drill program to test potentially higher grade gold mineralization within the core of the Discovery Trend epithermal system. Although subject to financing, current market conditions have reduced drill contract rates and as such Berkwood feels this drilling can be carried out in a low cost, effective manner. Berkwood field crews will be visiting the property in the coming days to assess the condition of access roads, field equipment, company vehicles and the field base camp.

Brian Buchanan, CEO and Director of the Company states: "We are pleased to be in a position to conduct fieldwork at Prospect Valley. This is an important project in regards to Berkwood’s growth and Management is very optimistic about what this year’s work program could provide, given the large extent of the gold system defined to date.”

George Gorzynski, P.Eng., a Director of Berkwood and a Qualified Person under the definition of Canadian National Instrument 43-101, approved the technical information in this new release and is monitoring the field programs.  

About Berkwood Resources:

Berkwood also holds a 100% interest in the Lac Guéret East Graphite Property, located in northeastern Quebec.  The 3,837 Ha Lac Guéret East Graphite Property consists of 71 claims and is adjacent to the eastern boundary of Mason Graphite’s advanced Lac Guéret Project.

San Gold Announces a 60% Increase in Mineral Reserves

San Gold Corporation

TSX : SGR
OTCQX : SGRCF

February 20, 2014 20:00 ET

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwired - Feb. 20, 2014) - San Gold Corporation (TSX:SGR)(OTCQX:SGRCF) today announced an updated mineral reserve and resource estimate for its Rice Lake Mining Complex.

During 2013, extensive definition drilling and detailed mine planning to integrate the Hinge, 007 and Rice Lakes mines resulted in an increase in proven and probable mineral reserves to 2.7 million tons grading 5.24 grams per tonne containing 405,400 ounces of gold as of December 31, 2013. This is a 60% increase from the proven and probable mineral reserves as of December 31, 2012. 

"I am very pleased with the progress made by our technical team over the past year. The increase in reserves has allowed us to complete five years of detailed mine planning, thereby providing improved operational flexibility. Our drilling in 2014 will be primarily from underground locations in closer proximity to known ore bodies. We expect to achieve a further increase in the mineral reserve as the year progresses through the conversion of our large inferred mineral resource," said Ian Berzins, San Gold's President, CEO and Chief Operating Officer.

Notes to Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimate Table

• Mineral reserve and resource estimates are calculated in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by CIM Council, 2010.
• Tonnage and ounce estimates have been rounded to the nearest hundred.
• Proven and probable mineral reserves are included in the measured and indicated mineral resources.
• The mineral reserve estimate is based on a gold price of US$1,250 per ounce.
• A cut-off grade of 3.65 g/tonne gold was used for estimating mineral reserves. A cut-off grade of between 2.74 and 3.43 g/tonne gold was used for estimating mineral resources.
• Inferred mineral resources are not in the current mine plan and therefore do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The estimate of mineral resources was carried out under the supervision of Michael Michaud, Vice-President
of Exploration. The estimate of mineral reserves was carried out under the supervision of Rolando Jeria, Chief Engineer. Mr. Michaud and Mr. Jeria are Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101, and have reviewed and approved this news release.

Exploration results that include geophysics, sampling, and drill results on wide spacings may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit. Such results do not provide assurance that further work will establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics, and economic potential to be classed as a category of mineral resource. A mineral resource that is classified as "inferred" or "indicated" has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any or part of an "indicated mineral resource" or "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category of resource. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into proven and probable reserves.

San Gold Announces High Grade Drill Results at Depth, Nov 4th 2013

San Gold Corporation

TSX : SGR
OTCQX : SGRCF

November 04, 2013 08:00 ET

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwired - Nov. 4, 2013) - San Gold Corporation (TSX:SGR)(OTCQX:SGRCF) today provided updated drilling results from its underground drilling program on 26 Level of the Rice Lake Mine.

Initial results, obtained from the newly established 6140 drill station located approximately 1,170 metres below surface at the eastern extent of the 710 zone, demonstrate robust grades and widths that are accessible from new 26 level development. These zones are located immediately to the hanging wall of the 710 zone and appear to be part of the 007 system at depth. Highlights of this drilling include drill hole 614-13-010 which returned 45.3 g/tonne over 6.1 metres and drill hole 614-13-009 which returned 14.7 g/tonne over 4.1 metres.

The 6140 drill station was established earlier this year in closer proximity to the 710 HW region to follow up on drill hole 613-13-039 which returned 22.5 g/tonne over 4.2 metres and 15.7 g/tonne over 4.1 metres (reported April 24, 2013) and drill hole 607-12-048 which returned 15.1 g/tonne over 11.1 metres (reported November 26, 2012). The Company is planning additional drilling this year to follow up on these results.
"The high-grade region identified in the 710 vein hanging wall represents another important zone discovered as a result of ongoing exploration of the Shoreline Basalt Unit at depth. These results have been obtained within 100 metres of existing infrastructure and can be developed rapidly and with minimal capital expenditure," said Ian Berzins, San Gold's President, CEO and Chief Operating Officer.
Highlights of the preliminary drilling from the 6140 drill station are as follows:

Hole Number		Zone	From (m)	To (m)	Core (m)	Grade† (gpt)	Depth (m)
614-13-009		710 HW	72.2	73.6	1.5	9.5	1173
		710 HW	98.6	102.7	4.1	14.7	1173
614-13-010		710 HW	19.2	21.3	2.1	12.8	1172
		Including	19.5	20.1	0.6	37.0
		710 HW	51.1	57.3	6.1	45.3	1172
		Including	52.1	53.6	1.5	99.1

† Assay values are capped at 102.8 g/tonne (3 oz per ton).

The 710 HW zone is located at the eastern extent of known mineralization at 26 Level of the Rice Lake mine and remains open to the east and northeast. It was identified as part of the Company's ongoing structural analysis to refine the Company's exploration model. This analysis has already yielded numerous new targets within lesser known, near-surface structures (reported September 26, 2013).
Figure 1 provides a graphic illustration showing a plan view of the 710 HW drilling. It can be found here: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/908847fig1.pdf

Brigus Gold Drills Deepest High Grade Intersection to Date at Grey Fox

 May 2013 by Business Wire Brigus Gold Corp. ("Brigus" or the "Company") (NYSE MKT: BRD; TSX: BRD) is pleased to report additional results from its ongoing drill program at the 147 Zone on the Grey Fox property. Results from this drill program will increase the current gold resource and further confirm the potential for both a new open pit and underground mine. The Grey Fox property is located approximately four kilometres southeast of Brigus' Black Fox mine and boasts excellent infrastructure. Due to the close proximity of Grey Fox to the Black Fox mine, the Company sees potential for near term production growth.

"These impressive results further extend the 147 Zone orebody and it remains open for expansion at depths beyond 400 metres vertical," said Howard Bird, Brigus' Senior Vice President of Exploration. "Four drill rigs will continue resource expansion drilling on the 147, Contact and Grey Fox South zones for the remainder of the year."
The Company plans to release an updated NI 43-101 resource estimate for the Grey Fox property later in the quarter.
Highlights from the 147 Zone which remains open for expansion:
