Kaminak Gold Corp. has released assay results from the first two holes drilled on its 100-per-cent-owned Coffee project, located in the White district, Yukon Territory. These two holes were drilled from the same set-up at the Supremo zone, which is one of eight top-priority targets identified on the 43-kilometre-long property. Kaminak will host a conference call and live audio webcast on Thursday, May 27th at 8 a.m. Pacific Time (11 a.m. Eastern Time) to explain the significance of the drill results announced today. Conference call and live audio webcast details are located at the end of this release and on the Kaminak website.

Drill highlights:

• CFD-001 intersected 17.07 grams per tonne gold over 15.5 metres (from 15 metres core depth);
• CFD-002 ended in mineralization and yielded five significant gold-bearing intersections:
  • 3.95 grams per tonne gold over 11.95 metres (starting at 18.7 metres);
  • 4.89 grams per tonne gold over five metres (starting at 72 metres);
  • 2.11 grams per tonne gold over 14.0 metres (starting at 124 metres);
  • 4.31 grams per tonne gold over 2.75 metres (starting at 145.25 metres);
  • 2.96 grams per tonne gold over 4.1 metres (starting at 169.65 metres to end of hole);
• Gold zones are associated with linear structures characterized by extensive silicification, quartz veining and brecciation; host augen gneiss has undergone arsenic-silver-antimony-barium enrichment (like Underworld Resources Inc.’s Golden Saddle deposit);
• New geological mapping and structural measurements from oriented drill core indicate that the mineralized zones at Supremo are north-south trending, steeply dipping and open along trend and at depth;
• Drilling continues with samples being processed at the assay laboratory from Supremo step-out holes and initial holes from the Latte zone located one kilometre south of Supremo.

“These first holes show intense alteration and mineralization over wide intervals indicative of a large gold-rich hydrothermal system,” stated Dr. Rob Carpenter, president and chief executive officer of Kaminak. “These results confirm the potential of the Coffee property to host large gold deposits and our drill strategy will continue to focus on discovering near-surface gold mineralization.”

Drill results

Drill holes No. 1 and No. 2 were drilled to the east from the same set-up and were designed to test the depth extent of high-grade gold-in-rock results obtained by Kaminak in 2009 along the trench 3 trend. Hole No. 1 was drilled at a minus-50-degree angle and hole No. 2 was drilled at a minus-70-degree angle. A detailed plan map, cross-section and photo montage of select core samples are available on the Kaminak website.

Both holes intersected extensively oxidized, limonitic, clay- and silica-altered augen gneiss host rocks displaying complex multiphase hydrothermal breccia (fragmental) textures in addition to quartz vein stockworks, minor pyrite and rare arsenopyrite. Hole No. 1 intercepted a single, thick interval of 17.07 grams per tonne gold over 15.5 metres (starting at 15 metres downhole), hosted primarily in silicified breccia units and minor non-brecciated silica-altered gneiss.

Hole No. 2 ended in mineralization and intersected several zones over a greater length than the hole No. 1 intercept including 3.95 grams per tonne gold over 11.95 metres (starting at 18.7 metres), 4.89 grams per tonne gold over five metres (starting at 72 metres), 2.11 grams per tonne gold over 14 metres (starting at 124 metres), 4.31 grams per tonne gold over 2.75 metres (starting at 145.25 metres) and 2.96 grams per tonne gold over 4.1 metres (starting at 169.65 metres to end of hole). Unlike the single, wide gold-bearing hydrothermal breccia zone in hole No. 1, mineralization in hole No. 2 is mainly hosted in broad zones of quartz veining and silica flooding with restricted breccia zones. The mineralized intervals from hole No. 2 were calculated using a one-gram-per-tonne gold grade envelope, that are separated by weakly anomalous intervals. If these intervening low-grade segments are included in the grade/interval calculations, then the hole No. 2 intercept can also be considered to grade 1.26 grams per tonne gold over 60.32 metres (starting at 18 metres) with a second zone of 1.15 grams per tonne gold over 51.32 metres (starting at 122.43 metres).

New geological mapping and trenching completed at Supremo in 2010 indicate that mineralization at trench 3 is hosted in a north-south-trending linear structure/alteration zone that extends for at least 200 metres and is open in both directions along trend, as well as to depth. Measurements from oriented core from both holes No. 1 and No. 2 also indicate that gneissic banding is shallowly dipping to the west and that mineralized veins occur at high angle to the gneissic fabric, suggesting near-vertical-dipping gold zones. More drilling on this section will be required in order to correlate rock units and mineralized zones from hole No. 1 and No. 2 and also to determine the true width of these zones.
