Cranbrook BC, 12 November, 2009: Copper Canyon Resources Ltd. (CPY: TSX-V) has been notified by Bling Capital Corp. (BLI.P:TSX-V) that Bling has elected not to proceed with an option agreement to acquire an interest in the Abo (Harrison Gold) mineral exploration property, currently held 100% by CPY (see news release September 2, 2009).
The Property
The Abo Gold (Harrison Gold) property project is located 5km north of Harrison Lake, British Columbia.
The property area has been held or optioned by various operations since the early 1970?s including Abo Resources, Kerr Addison Mines Ltd and Bema International Resources. Exploration work includes mapping, soil sampling, ground based geophysics, 444m of underground development work and a total of 13,856m (45,448?) of Diamond drilling. Barry Price, P.Geo, in 2002 prepared a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate that outlines an indicated resource on the property of 1.845 million tones grading 2.79 g/t Au containing 165,000 ounces of gold and an inferred resource of 0.6 million tones grading 2.8 g/t Au containing 55,000 ounces of gold in the Jenner and Portal zones, which are open to depth. Numerous additional mineralized zones have been discovered on the property, which have the potential to increase gold resources.
Copper Canyon is actively seeking joint venture participation to further explore the property.
