MetalCORP Completes Geophysical and Geochemical Surveys on Pickle and Red Lake Properties

Marketwired
MetalCorp Limited ("MetalCorp" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: MTC)
has completed a review of the results of its combined geophysical
and geochemical surveys on the Connell and North Tarp sections of
its 100% owned Pickle Lake property, which lies immediately north
of Pickle Lake, Ontario, and on its Black Bear Property, near Red
Lake, Ontario. The Company has initiated follow-up surveys in both
areas.
At Pickle Lake, geochemical work (Mobile Metal Ion (MMI))
sampling on the Connell and North Tarp grids, which lie near
opposite ends of MetalCorp's extensive property package,
highlighted a number of large-scale multi-element geochemical
anomalies. A number of these coincide with chargeability and
magnetometer highs outlined in Induced Polarization (IP) and
Magnetometer (Mag) work completed by MetalCorp on the same grids
this past fall. In order to fully outline and better define several
of the anomalies, MetalCorp is extending the North Tarp grid by a
further 30 to 40 line-kilometers. Further geophysical surveying (IP
and Mag) will be completed on the new grid lines prior to drilling
this winter.
In the Red Lake area, combined MMI, IP, and Mag surveys on
MetalCorp's Black Bear Property, which lies astride the
well-mineralized East Bay Deformation Zone, in an area between the
"Gaz Zone" of Goldcorp and Premier Gold, and the Sidace Lake play
of Goldcorp and Planet Exploration, have yielded a number of
coincident multi-element geochemical and geophysical anomalies. At
Black Bear, the anomalies highlight at least three areas of
potential precious and/or base metals mineralization. MetalCorp has
already completed the fieldwork on a higher definition (25m x 25m
grid) follow-up MMI survey on the highest priority anomalies, and
is now awaiting receipt of the interpretive report. Once received,
the results will be compiled with the results of the geophysical
surveys, so that the Company can plan its next steps in
exploration, which will include diamond drill-testing.
"The work committed to by MetalCorp on these properties is
beginning to yield positive results. We now have a very strong
basis on which to expand that work, and move toward confident drill
testing of both properties" stated Chris Dougherty, President of
MetalCorp.
"We are looking forward to continuing our work on the Pickle and
Red Lake properties, and have begun planning for the drill
campaigns." concluded Dougherty.
