September 08 2011 - 7:30AM
Marketwired
Sheltered Oak Resources Corp. ("OAK" or "the Company") (TSX
VENTURE: OAK) announced drilling results today from the first six
holes completed on the Kerrs Gold Deposit located on its 100%
controlled Kerrs Property and the adjacent property in the East
Timmins Gold Camp.
Highlights from these results in the Kerrs Gold Deposit are:
SECTION 1200N:
-- DDH K - 11 - 44: KBX ZONE: 5.64 m averaging 3.37 g/t Au
-- DDH K - 11 - 45 : KBX ZONE : 5.00 m averaging 4.69 g/t Au
SECTION 1100N:
-- DDH K - 11 - 46 : KBX ZONE : 4.92 m averaging 4.11 g/t Au
SECTION 1400N:
-- DDH K - 11 - 47 : ALTERATION ZONE : 4.7 m averaging 1.54 g/t Au
EXPLORATION DRILLING SUMMARY
From June 29, 2011, to September 1, 2011, a total of fifteen
(15) holes have been drilled totalling 6,117 metres. Nine
definition holes have been targeted for in-filling to improve the
spacing distance between intercepts on higher grade sections of the
Kerrs Quartz Carbonate Breccia Zone (KBX Zone) hosted in the Kerrs
Gold Deposit. Drill holes K-11-44, 45, 46 and 47 focused on
sections 1100N, 1200N and 1400N; and their assay composite results
are reported in the table below which includes adjacent historical
holes on each section for grade continuity purposes.
Reconnaissance Holes K-11-53 and 54 tested a 1,699 m long
parallel structure supported by MMI geochemical anomalies. A
quartz-carbonate shear zone was intersected in both holes
confirming the geophysical and geochemical interpretation, however,
no mineralization was encountered.
Four holes have been completed on the adjoining property under
option from Goldcorp Canada Ltd. and Goldcorp Inc. targeting the
extension of the Kerrs Gold deposit hosted in similar volcanic
stratigraphy observed as an arc-shaped fold geometry which is
interpreted from regional airborne magnetic surveys. Assays are
pending for these holes.
Five extensional drill holes have been completed on sections
1500N, 1600N and 1700N and have successfully extended the KBX Zone
along strike and to depth. Assays are pending for these holes.
The exploration drilling results for K-11-44, 45, 46 and 47 are outlined as
follows:

(i) All intervals are represented as down-hole core lengths. True widths(TW)
are corrected by 35% to 95% of core length. The intercept spacing is the
distance between the drill hole pierce points in the KBX Zone measured from
the midpoint of each composite grade interval in the downdip Azimuth
direction of 130 degrees.
(ii) The intercept in K-11-47 may be a secondary zone overlying the KBX
Zone; the drill hole will be deepened to a depth of 550 to 600 metres to
test for the KBX Zone which is interpreted to be steeper dipping on this
section.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
The Phase 6 diamond drilling program involving geological core
logging, sampling and drilling logistics is supervised by Peter
Hubacheck, P.Geo. (APGO) providing geological management via
Hubacheck Consulting Geologists (HCG), an affiliate of W. A.
Hubacheck Consultants Ltd. Peter Hubacheck is a Qualified Person as
defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and authorized the
geotechnical material in this news release. Drill core processing
includes descriptive logging, geotech logging, photographing and
selection of drill core intervals to be cut assay samples and
geochemical analyses. The NQ-size core was cut in two halves using
stationary rock saws at a secure core processing facility located
on the Wahgoshig First Nations IR70 Reserve on Abitibi Lake,
Ontario. One-half of the core was delivered to the sample
preparation lab of AGAT Laboratory in Sudbury where each 5 kg
sample was crushed to 75% passing 2 mm, split to 250g and
pulverized to 85% passing -230 mesh. These pulps were then shipped
to AGAT Laboratory in Mississauga, Ontario for analyses. The gold
assaying method uses a standard Fire Assay with AAS finish on a
50-gram pulp material taken from a 250 g split from the submitted
sample as well as duplicate assays performed on a separate 250 g
split for every ten samples for lab quality control. Each pulp was
also analysed for 43 trace elements using Aqua Regia Digest with
ICP-OES finish. In addition, specific gravity determinations for
each pulp employed the pychnometer method. Commercially prepared
standards and blanks were inserted by the project QP every 10
samples to insure precision of the results. Levert Drilling from
Sudbury and Crites Drilling from Timmins are the contracted
drillers for the Kerrs Property with drill logistics management
sub-contracted to Abitibi 70 Exploration Services from
Matheson.
