Vancouver, B.C. - Otis Gold Corp. (or 'Otis') is pleased to confirm that road construction and drilling has commenced at its flagship Kilgore Gold Project. Construction of approximately 900 metres of roads into the emerging 'North Target' area and 300 metres of roads into the untested 'Crab Claw' area began in early September and is progressing on schedule. Parallel with road construction, the first several holes of a planned 15 to 20 hole program totaling up to 4,200 metres have been completed, and drilling will continue into November. Drilling is being conducted by O'Keefe Drilling Co, Inc. of Butte, Montana and results will be released as they become available.
The reverse circulation (or 'RC') drilling is focused in the North Target and Crab Claw areas, located at the north/northwest end and contiguous to the Kilgore Deposit, where holes drilled in 2011 and 2012 successfully expanded the strike length of the deposit by approximately 150 meters. Drilling in 2011 included intercepts of 114.3m of 0.89 g/t Au in hole OKC-258, 118.8m of 0.89 g/t Au in OKC-259, 48.8m of 1.05 g/t Au in hole OKC-265 and 32.0m of 1.15 g/t Au in hole OKC-247 (see News Release dated January 12, 2012). Drilling in 2012 included intercepts of 82.3m of 0.95 g/t Au in hole OKR-291, 121.9 m of 1.04 g/t Au in hole OKR-292, and 83.8m of 1.12 g/t Au in hole 12 OKR-294 (see News Release dated January 17, 2013).
