Vancouver, B.C. - Kaminak Gold Corporation (KAM: TSX-V)
and project partner BCGold Corp. (BCG: TSX-V) are pleased to announce that Diamond drilling has commenced on the Voigtberg Au-Cu-Mo (Gold-Copper-Molybdenum) Property, situated 40 km east of the high-profile Galore Creek Cu-Au-Ag project in northwest British Columbia. The planned 800 metre drill program is designed to test new geophysical and geochemical targets and follow-up last year's significant "Gold Zone" drill hole intercept of 51.15 metres at 1.03 g/t Au, including 18.17 metres at 1.87 g/t Au.
2007 Exploration Program
BCGold Corp. is operating and funding a two-phase, $500,000 exploration program at Voigtberg. Phase I has been completed and entailed a property-wide, 412 line kilometre airborne geophysical survey. Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. conducted the survey utilizing their proprietary frequency domain electromagnetic "DIGHEM" and standard magnetometer systems. Data is currently being processed, and results will provide additional focus for Phase II reconnaissance geological and geochemical surveys. The aforementioned Phase II exploration work will focus on mineral claims staked earlier this year by Kaminak and BCGold, extending the eastern margin of the Voigtberg Property.
Phase II exploration also includes a significant Diamond drilling component. Three holes are planned to further define the Gold Zone and step out from drill hole VG06-05, which returned a near-surface intercept of 51.15 metres grading 1.03 g/t Au (see Kaminak news release dated October 25th, 2006). The Gold Zone is believed to represent a gold-rich halo located on the periphery of a porphyry copper-molybdenum system. An additional two drill holes will target the un-tested North Zone coincidental copper-molybdenum soil geochemical and induced polarization chargeability anomaly. The North Zone is believed to represent the copper molybdenum porphyry intrusive "core" of the Voigtberg mineralizing system.
Equity Engineering Ltd. of Vancouver, British Columbia has been contracted to oversee the technical aspects of the Voigtberg Project. Murray Jones, P.Geo. is the Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed the technical content of this news release.
