Bowmore Starts Drill Program at La Scie
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Mar 25, 2014) - Bowmore
Explorations Ltd. (the "Company" or "Bowmore")
(TSX-VENTURE:BOW)(FRANKFURT:0B5) is pleased to announce that it has
obtained all necessary permits and licenses for its Phase One drill
program on the La Scie Gold property, located on the eastern
extremity of the Baie Verte peninsula in Newfoundland. The
objective of the Phase One 1,500 metre diamond drill program will
be to 1) test the three gold zones (Burton, Isaiah, and Jonah) that
have thus far been identified on the property (see news release
dated November 26, 2013), 2) test the broad zone of high purity
silica averaging 99.4% SiO2 following the summer-fall 2013 regional
rock sampling program (see news release dated January 16, 2014).
The high purity silica zone is part of an E-W trending, 2,500
metre-long silicified zone and is exposed on surface with a minimum
length of 290 metres by 3.5 to 15 metres in apparent width.
Further to the discovery of the high purity silica zone, the
Company conducted detailed analytical tests to determine impurity
levels within the silica. Trace element analyses were performed on
the seven grab samples taken from this zone, producing excellent
results as follows:

Mr. Paul Dumas, President and CEO of Bowmore Exploration Ltd.,
stated: "We are very pleased to see the drill program at our La
Scie Gold property underway. We have three excellent gold targets
to drill as well as the high grade silica zone which has returned
exceptional values to date. All of these targets present great
potential for the discovery of a significant deposit of either gold
or high-purity silica, a valuable industrial mineral."
Samples reported above were sent for analysis at ALS Minerals
laboratory in Vancouver, BC. (accreditation ISO 9001:2008 and ISO
17025) by using a 0.5g subsample from the pulps of the previous
samples, crushed and pulverized to 70 microns by tungsten
pulverizer. The samples were digested with aqua regia and analyzed
by ICP-AES and ICP-MS methods (inductively couples plasma-atomic
emission spectrometry). For QaQc protocols, ALS Minerals inserted
one duplicate, one blank and 2 standard to compare and ensure
accuracy of the results.
