Brookemont Capital Inc. ("Brookemont" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:BKT)(PINK SHEETS:BKTPF) has been notified that Project
Geologist (Laurence Stephenson) has arrived at the property in
Tanzania and is currently in the final stages of preparing the
drill program. It is anticipated that the drill program will
commence shortly. BKT has already advanced the exploration funds
for the Handeni North Gold Project.
Laurence Stephenson, the qualified person and geologist on site
stated that exploration on the property is proceeding with "very
encouraging results" and he reported, "The 250 m trench across the
4.5 km arsenic soil sampling geochem anomaly, on its Tanzanian
property adjacent to the north of Canaco's Magambazi Prospecting
License, has located numerous quartz veins in the altered rock.
The silicified zone with numerous quartz veins is being sampled
with the XRF unit as well as analysis for gold at SGS Laboratories
in Mwanza. Visible arsenopyrite was observed in the amphibolites
associated with the quartz vein which are also being assayed by the
laboratory.
We are encouraged by the amount of arsenopyrite seen in rocks
associated with the quartz veining, which is not one or two large
veins but numerous small swarms of them. There appears to be an
anticline fold with the axis close to the centre of the As anomaly.
The relationships of these rocks to the drainages where gold flakes
have been found is not clear yet, but the proximity to area with a
significance presence of the arsenopyrite is very close to the
relationship observed at Magambazi.
Exploration efforts are continuing, including further trenching.
IP surveying and an airborne magnetic survey are being engaged to
assist in refining drill targets that have been outlined by the
current work program (October 6th, 2011)."
Field sampling of the drainages cutting in the vicinity of the
arsenic geochem anomaly have revealed gold flakes and even a small
almost 0.5 mm "nugget" present in the system. The source of the
gold is local as the drainages are extremely intermittent and the
sample medium was located amid angular boulders within 1 metre of
the surface (July 29, 2011).
Conrad Clemiss, President of Brookemont stated, "We are getting
closer to the commencement of the drill program on the Handeni
North Gold Prospect. It has been a long process but we appear to be
in the final stretch. We are very optimistic about this drill
program as it appears that numerous drill targets are being defined
and based on the information provided by the geologist, the
prospect appears to be providing encouraging results to date."
