Goldeye Drilling Results Confirm Grade and Improve on Widths of
Surface Zones at Weebigee Project
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Mar 5, 2014) - Goldeye
Explorations Limited (TSX-VENTURE:GGY) is pleased to provide
initial drill results at its Weebigee Project north of Red Lake in
the Sandy Lake greenstone belt. Final assay certificates have been
received for holes BK14-01 to BK14-03 and BK14-5 to BK14-07.
Highlights of assay results (core intercepts) include:
BK14-03 |
12.86 g/t over 6.85 metres (core length; uncut) |
including |
|
230.00 g/t over 0.35 metres |
and |
|
|
|
7.74 g/t over 0.40 metres |
and |
|
|
10.20 g/t over 0.40 metres |
|
|
BK14-05 |
12.45 g/t over 3.50 metres (core length) |
|
|
BK14-07 |
12.17 g/t over 2.05 metres (estimated true
thickness) |
Drilling during the current program has identified significant
gold mineralization within intensely altered quartz-biotite rich
felsic volcanics. At Knoll, zoned alteration consisting of outer
biotite and inner silica-carbonate-sericite assemblages host
gold-bearing multiphase quartz flooding and quartz tourmaline
veining. Sulphide assemblages range from pyrite dominant, to
pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite dominant. Arsenopyrite is a very minor
sulphide phase, occurring locally as very fine needles associated
with grey, pervasive quartz flooding.
At Bernadette, crack and seal style quartz veins returned
significant gold values (drill hole BK14-03). Silica-carbonate
bleaching styles of alteration are restricted to relatively narrow
haloes, or are entirely absent around each discrete vein. It is now
apparent that selective sampling at Bernadette could easily miss
significant gold mineralization.
Drill crews are expected back on site by March 10 and drilling
will likely continue until the end of March. Assay results from
drill holes BK12-08 to BK14-18 are expected by mid March.
Blaine Webster, President and CEO, states, "These initial drill
results are showing very similar grades and improving widths
compared to our field work results from 2013. The Knoll showing was
tested by fans of three holes directly beneath the outcrops sampled
this summer and each hole showed a thick (5-10 metres) package of
strong to intense alteration/veining and highly anomalous gold
mineralization enveloping the higher grade intercepts. Three of
these holes (BK14-05, 06, and 07) are outlined in this release. We
will continue to step the drill out along strike and to depth to
explore the Knoll, Bernadette and RvG4 zones."

Table Notes: |
CL = Core Length |
TT = Estimated True Thickness |
True thickness has been estimated where geometry of the zone
is understood. One assay result of 230 g/t was capped at 50 g/t for
comparison purposes, and the 50 g/t capping value is arbitrary.
Some very low grade material was included in the composite for hole
BK14-03 and no parameters for cut-off grade or internal waste have
yet been established.
Location data for the holes released are presented in the table
below. The datum used for this project is UTM NAD 83.

Project Logistics and
QA/QC
All analyses reported in this release are from assay
certificates which passed both Goldeye Explorations Limited and
Activation Laboratories QA/QC procedures. All diamond drilling,
logging and sampling, and QA/QC was supervised in the field by
David R. Jamieson, P.Geo. Drill core was logged at the Goldeye core
facilities in Sandy Lake. Drill core was logged and samples marked
off and tagged by Goldeye geological staff. Marked/tagged samples
were cut by an experienced core cutter using a diamond bladed core
saw, with one core half plus tag placed in 6 mm plastic bags for
assaying and the remaining core half plus tag place back in the
original core box to be racked and archived at the Sandy Lake core
facility. Standards (OREAS CRM) and blank (Certified crushed
granite) samples were included by Goldeye personnel in the sample
stream at the core facility at a rate of approximately every 20
samples. Samples were shipped in rice bags by Goldeye personnel by
winter road from Sandy Lake to Red Lake. The samples were picked up
in Red Lake by Activation lab contractors and delivered to
Activation's Thunder Bay facility. Samples were fire assayed for
gold. Any analysis greater than 5000 ppb was reassayed using a
gravimetric finish. Activation Laboratories is a fully accredited
laboratory and conforms to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 (ISO
9001) and CAN-P-1579 by the Standards Council of Canada. Assays
reported in ppb were converted to g/t (grams gold per tonne of
rock). Screen metallic assaying was used where visible gold was
observed in drill core.

About the Weebigee
Project
Goldeye's 100% owned Weebigee Project is located 230 kilometres
north of Red Lake in Northwestern Ontario and is comprised of 363
claims totaling approximately 6000 hectares. The NW Arm claim block
covers approximately 20% of the total project area and hosts the
highest density of gold showings in the Sandy Lake Greenstone
Belt.
The project is adjacent to Sandy Lake First Nation (population
approx. 3000) which has excellent infrastructure including an
airport with daily direct flights to Winnipeg, Red Lake and Sioux
Lookout and winter road connection to Red Lake. All weather access
roads are located within one kilometre of the Knoll, Bernadette and
RvG4 areas. Goldeye recently signed a comprehensive Exploration
Agreement with Sandy Lake First Nation and is pleased to have a
strong, mutually beneficial relationship with the people of Sandy
Lake First Nation.
