Spanish Mountain Main Zone Continues to Expand
Drilling intersects 99.50 metres of 1.41 g/t gold

Skygold Ventures Ltd. ("Skygold") (SKV-TSXV) and Wildrose Resources Ltd. ("Wildrose") (WRS- TSXV) are pleased to announce Diamond Drill results from the on-going exploration program at the Spanish Mountain Project in Central British Columbia. 

Diamond Drilling on the Spanish Mountain Property continues to intersect the Main Zone and expand on the potential area for which a 43-101 resource will be completed.  At present, the known zones (Main Zone, South Main, Lower Zone and North Zone) span an area approximately 1.2km by 1.2km. Potentially economic grade gold mineralization has been intersected in all of these zones.  Holes have been drilled outside these known zones in the Placer Area, Oscar Showing and East Main Zone.  Results contained in this news release include holes from the Main Zone, South Main, Placer Area, Oscar showing and eastern Main Zone step outs. 
Highlights:

Main Zone:

  • Hole 07-DDH-661 intersects 99.5 metres of 1.41 g/t gold including 56.0 metres of 1.57 g/t gold including 25.5 metres of 2.21 g/t gold (see section 1550 N at the company's website).
  • Hole 07-DDH-643 intersects 15.0 metres of 1.74 g/t gold within a wider interval of 67.0 metres of 0.70 g/t gold.   
  • Hole 07-DDH-647 intersects 22.5 metres of 1.13 g/t gold  
  • Hole 07-DDH-604* (Twin of the upper zone in hole 05-DDH-252 which returned  47.75 metres of 1.67 g.t gold including 15.25 metres of 2.04 g/t gold) intersected 60.1 metres of 1.62 g/t gold including 36.0 metres of 2.42 g.t gold. 

            South Main:

  • Hole 07-DDH-600 intersects 5 separate zones of gold mineralization within a wider zone of 184.5 metres of 0.50 g/t gold including 18.5 metres of 1.08 g/t gold and 15 metres of 1.19 g/t gold.  This intercept joins the upper and lower horizons into one continuous zone (see section D - D' at the company's website). 

* Hole 07-DDH-604 was drilled as a quality control hole to duplicate mineralization intersected in hole 05-DDH-252.

Regional drilling in the Oscar area has intersected only weakly anomalous results to date.  Hole 07-DDH-617 is still pending results for this area.  Drilling in the Placer area has also intersected weakly anomalous values, to date and there are 13 holes with results pending in this area.  The east Main Zone area has intersected 14.0 metres of 0.92 g/t gold in hole 07-DDH-602 but there are still 6 holes in this area with assay results pending. 

Discussion of Results:

Main Zone mineralization continues to expand and is associated with a very specific stratigraphic package of rocks which has been intersected along strike for approximately 900 metres (see stratigraphic column "A" at the company's website).  To date, none of the regional drilling has intersected the same stratigraphic sequence and  the current understanding is that faulting and folding may be responsible for off-setting the Main Zone stratigraphy in the Placer and Oscar areas.  Current interpretations indicate that the Main Zone is open to the northwest and south east but may be limited or offset to the northeast and southwest.  The discovery of the North and South Main Zone mineralization outside the Main Zone indicates that favorable gold mineralized stratigraphic/structural horizons exists elsewhere along the overall mineralized belt.  This highlights the potential for the discovery of additional deposits. 

Drilling has already confirmed the presence of Main Zone stratigraphy to the northwest, in holes 07-DDH-685,687, 688, 689 and 695 which all intersected the Main Zone stratigraphic sequence (assays pending).  

Vice President of Exploration Scott Weekes comments "We are very pleased with results and interpretations coming from the field.  Being able to now recognize the stratigraphic sequence has helped refine drill targets in the Main Zone.  There are still many holes remaining in the lab but results are starting to come back faster and we are getting closer to completing a 43-101 compliant resource on the Main Zone area.  Holes such as 07-DDH-600 help to join the Lower and Upper Main zones together, and this will help us to develop a more robust resource estimate."
