SYMBOL & EXCHANGE: FGE-TSXV CALGARY, Oct. 19, 2011 /CNW Telbec/
- Forest Gate Energy Inc. reports that its mineral exploration
group has engaged Prospectair Geosurveys Inc. of Gatineau, Quebec,
to fly a heliborne magnetic and time-domain electromagnetic survey
over its 100 percent-owned Pershing iron-gold property in the
Abitibi region of Quebec. The airborne geophysical survey will
encompass a total distance of 709 line kilometres. The flight line
spacing will be 75 metres with check-tie-lines spaced 750 metres
apart perpendicular to the fly lines. The survey is scheduled to
begin in the next two weeks. A 20-hole drilling program is expected
to follow from the aeromagnetic survey. Forest Gate has identified
three iron-bearing areas on its Pershing property that on the basis
of its magnetic signatures are interpreted to host potentially
significant quantities of iron. In addition to completing the
aeromagnetic survey, Forest Gate will conduct magnetic
susceptibility tests on selected drill core intervals that contain
the magnetite bearing formations intersected during the recently
completed drilling project and historic drilling programs executed
during 1997-98 period and the 2000-2002 period. There are at least
20 drill holes that have intersected the iron formation. With these
two data sets, it will be possible for geophysicists to calculate
the approximate geometry of the iron-bearing formations and to
estimate its magnetite content. These results in turn will be used
to estimate the potential tonnage of iron mineralization within
each of the three selected targets. The objective of the planned 20
hole drill program is to verify these estimates. "The next phase of
exploration work planned for the fall and winter programs, should
result in a preliminary resource calculation for the selected iron
targets on its Pershing property," said Edward Procyshyn, Manager,
Mineral Exploration at Forest Gate. "This would be a milestone."
Forest Gate is also in the process of acquiring the Cuff Lake iron
property which is expected to close prior to October 31, 2011.
