Typhoon
Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TYP - News) announces that a drilling
campaign on the Aiguebelle-Goldfields Property has
begun.
The
Property consists of 6 mining claims located in proximity to the Fayolle Property and is some 800 meters west of the Fayolle Deposit. The work most recently carried out on
the Property indicates that its geological context is similar to that of the Fayolle Deposit. Intrusive rocks are more abundant and
injected into mafic and ultramafic
lithologies.
Typhoon
has completed a compilation of all previous work at Aiguebelle-Goldfields
and has drilled more than 5,000 meters to date.
The
drilling campaign on Aiguebelle-Goldfields will
focus on the area south-west of the Fayolle
Deposit.
NOTE
In
collaboration with its partners, Typhoon Exploration Inc. has begun in 2011
two (2) other drilling campaigns along the 35 km of the Porcupine-Destor Fault under its control.
-- On the Fayolle
Project with Aurizon Mines Ltd.
-- On the Destorbelle
Project with Diamond Frank Exploration Inc.
The
drilling campaign on the Fayolle Project features
50,000 meters of drilling and a budget of $6.5 million dollars invested by Aurizon Mines Ltd. This campaign is focused on the
lateral and depth extensions of the Fayolle Deposit
and will test the NW-SE oriented main deformation corridor, which is 2.5 km
long by 1 km wide and open at depth.
Exploration
work is being carried out under the supervision of Ressources
Lutsvisky Inc. acting as project manager.
QUALITY
CONTROL
All
drill cores are oriented using Fordia's "Corientr" tool in order to measure their geological
structures. Cores are sawn in half, with one part kept as a control and the
other being analysed. Assays are performed with
standard fire assay procedures and atomic absorption finish. Certified
reference material, duplicates and blanks are inserted in the sample sequence
for quality control. Primary assaying is performed by ALS Chemex
of Val d'Or. The rejects for all samples returning more than 10 grams of gold
per tonne are completely pulverized and re-assayed.
