VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 21, 2011) - Highland Resources Inc. (the "Company") (News - Market indication) has commenced linecutting on five grids on its Humboldt Bay property in the Beardmore-Geraldton area of Northern Ontario. These grids will be surveyed with Max-Min EM, VLF-EM and Magnetics, and are following up on promising airborne electro-magnetic and magnetic anomalies discovered during an airborne survey conducted in March of 2010 (news release April 27th, 2010). The ground surveys will be used to locate collars for 1000 meters of Diamond drilling that is planned to start in April once interpretations of the ground anomalies is completed.
Humboldt Winter 2011 Work Programs
Highland completed an airborne electro-magnetic and magnetic survey in March 2010 using AeroQuest's helicopter borne AeroTEM II system. The survey was carried out on 50 meter line spacing. The survey defined several electro-magnetic and magnetic anomalies and five excellent targets have been chosen from these anomalies for follow-up ground geophysics. These include discrete EM anomalies that could indicate massive sulphide bodies as well as structural targets for gold defined from the magnetics. Five grids have been planned totaling 85 km of cut lines at 50 meter spacing. The targets include:
It is anticipated that the line cutting will be completed by the middle of March and the geophysical surveys completed by the end of March. Drilling is planned to commence in April.
The work programs at the Humboldt Bay property are designed and managed by GeoVector Management Inc. The technical information contained in this news release has been verified by Joseph Campbell, P.
