September 27 2011 - 11:48AM
Marketwired
White Pine Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: WPR) ("White Pine") is
pleased to announce the results to date from its Phase I
exploration program on its Money and Tender properties located in
the White Gold District, Yukon Territory.
Money Property
The Money Property consists of 33,125 hectares (which includes
an additional 2,625 hectares staked as explained below) along a
section of the Sixty Mile River, an historic placer drainage
approximately 50 kilometres south of Dawson City, Yukon
Territory.
A first pass 3,696 sample reconnaissance ridge and spur soil
geochemical survey over the Money Property returned encouraging
gold anomalies. The northwest target area on the Money Property
reported 11 soil samples of greater than 30.0 parts per billion
gold ("ppb Au"), with the highest being 253.4 ppb Au. Subsequently,
White Pine staked an additional 144 claims (2,625 hectares)
contiguous to this anomaly and completed an additional 988 ridge
and spur soil samples. Two parallel north-south lines of soils
1,000 metres apart, over a total soil line of (a) 500 meters and
(b) 250 meters at 50 meter stations returned the highest contiguous
gold in soil results to date:
(a) Soil line returned 10 contiguous anomalous gold values of greater than
10.0 ppb Au, with the highest being 59.8 ppb Au and 84.4 ppb Au;
(b) Soil line parallel to the east returned 5 contiguous anomalous gold
values of which 4 samples returned values greater than 48.0 ppb Au,
with the highest being 155.9 ppb Au.
The south target area of the Money Property returned 4 soil
samples of greater than 40.0 ppb Au, with the highest being 475.1
ppb Au.
At the northwest target area of the Money Property, a follow up
program consisting of a 1,620 sample grid soil geochemical survey,
in conjunction with a trenching program over the first pass soil
anomalies, is expected to be completed in the near future. Soil
samples will be collected at 50 metre stations on soil lines spaced
100 metres apart on the 3,500 metre by 2,250 metre soil grid.
An airborne high resolution aeromagnetic and radiometric survey
with 100 metre line-spacing and a stream sediment sampling program
have been completed on the Money Property. Complete results are
pending.
Tender Property
The Tender Property consists of 6,800 hectares and is contiguous
to the south border of Kinross Gold Corp.'s J.P. Ross Property.
A first pass 1,504 sample reconnaissance ridge and spur soil
geochemical survey on the Tender Property returned encouraging gold
anomalies of 20 soil samples of greater than 10.0 ppb Au, with the
highest being 77.3 ppb Au, warranting further follow up soil
work.
An airborne high resolution aeromagnetic and radiometric survey
with 100 metre line-spacing is currently underway and a stream
sediment sampling program has been completed on the Tender
Property. Complete results are pending.
Upon compilation and interpretation of all exploration data from
its Phase I exploration program on its Money and Tender properties,
White Pine will identify drill targets for its Phase II exploration
program in 2012.
