Drill holes CF-08-46 to 51 were all drilled to further delineate and expand the Cliff Zone, one of four porphyry copper zones defined within the Catface Copper Porphyry Project. Drill hole CF-08-50 was abandoned due to drilling problems at 35.66m and hole CF-08-51 was collared at the same location but had to be drilled at a steeper angle. This drill site is located 100 metres southeast of the collar of drill holes CF-08-46 and 47. Holes CF-08-50 and CF-08-51 were located to better define and extend the southeastern boundary of the Cliff Zone and to further evaluate higher grade mineralization at depth. Due to the steep angle of drill hole CF-08-51, it remained peripheral to the higher grade core of the Cliff Zone.
The 2008 Catface
Diamond drilling program, which commenced in early July, was finished in the first week of September. In total, 8 holes were completed totaling approximately 2,400 meters. Six holes tested the Cliff Zone and two holes tested the Hecate Bay Zone. The goal of this phase of exploration on the Catface Copper Porphyry Deposit is to confirm and add to the historic information on the Cliff Zone Deposit and to provide fresh samples of the Catface copper porphyry mineralization that can be used for economic, metallurgical and environmental testing. The assay results received to date continue to confirm the copper grades from previous exploration and have expanded the higher grade bornite bearing core zone.
Holes CF-08-52 (abandoned at 55.47m) and CF-08-53 (373.99m) targeted the Hecate Bay Zone from a single drill site. The Hecate Bay Zone, which has not been evaluated by
Diamond drilling is defined by a large Induced Polarization and magnetic anomaly with associated copper mineralization at surface. The 2008 Hecate Bay drill holes encountered only weakly anomalous copper, molybdenum and silver in the host volcanics, which overlie Hecate Bay Zone. Selkirk intends to undertake further geological studies including mapping and sampling to select the optimum location to properly evaluate by drilling this important target.
ACME Analytical Laboratories Ltd. was engaged to carry out the analytical work on all samples. The analytical procedure utilized was the Group 1DX-MS 36 multi-element assay by ICP methods. Company standards, blanks and duplicates were employed within the 2008 Catface
Diamond Drilling program and upon receipt of the final results a detailed QA/QC review will be completed by Company Geologists. Additional assaying including Total Soluble Copper and rhenium analyses will also be conducted.
The Catface Copper Porphyry Property is owned 100% by Catface Copper Mines Limited, which is owned 97.4% by Doublestar Resources Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Selkirk. The Property is located on Catface Mountain, on the West Coast of central Vancouver Island, BC. Exploration work is conducted under the supervision of the Company's Qualified Person, Paul D. Gray, P.Geo., who has reviewed and approved this news release.
Corporate Update
Effective December 1, 2008, Mr. Ed Yurkowski resigned as a director of the Company. Selkirk would like to take this opportunity to express its appreciation for his contributions to the Board and the Company.
On Behalf of the Board of Directors:
Gordon Keevil, President
