- Field work outlines a new
gold bearing structure cutting through a syenite
intrusion,
- Geochemistry shows several intrusions on property with
similar signatures as the Young Davidson Syenite,
- Murgor acquires additional prospective ground contiguous to
the Wydee property, and
- Follow-up field work to start mid-August.
KINGSTON, ON, July 31, 2014 /CNW/ - Murgor Resources Inc.
(TSX-V: MGR) ("Murgor") released today the preliminary results from
its first reconnaissance exploration program at its newly acquired
Wydee Property, located 6 kilometres west-northwest of the
Town of Matachewan, Ontario, where
Aurico Gold operates the Young
Davidson Gold mine. The exploration program consisted of
geological mapping, prospecting, sampling and ground-proofing of
geophysical anomalies and known occurrences.
"We're very pleased with these preliminary results at
Wydee," said Andre Tessier,
President and CEO of Murgor Resources. "In only a few
weeks of field work, the Wydee property has already shown great
potential for new discovery. We are looking forward to resume
field work in mid August."
Highlights of this reconnaissance exploration include:
1) Grab samples returning assays of:
(grab samples are selective by the nature and are not necessarily
representative of the mineralization in the zone)
- 9.65 g/t Au and 8.70 g/t Au at the old Sunisloe gold occurrence
in sub-horizontal extension quartz veins similar to the Type-3
veins observed at the Young Davidson Mine.
- 0.75 g/t Au at the old McGill gold occurrence in sub-vertical
quartz veinlets.
- 1.26 g/t Au on a new gold occurrence located 47 metres away
from the old McGill gold occurrence also in sub-vertical quartz
veinlets.
- 1.24 g/t Au and 0.37 g/t Au on the Galer Fault (a splay off the
Larder Lake-Cadillac fault at the
north contact of the Powell Syenite Intrusion).
2) The delineation of a new EW-trending, vertical shear zone
cutting through the Powell Syenite Intrusion.
- The structure is defined over a minimum strike length of 5
kilometres and is based on one large outcrop and linear
topographical features such as creek, lakes and topographic
lows.
- Past exploration work on the one outcrop has returned channel
samples grading up to 0.41 g/t Au and 0.32 g/t Au over a metre
length.
- The Powell Syenite is increasingly hematized approaching the
topographic lows where the structure is interpreted.
- The structure is characterized by a coincident magnetic low
geophysical anomaly.
3) The suggestion from whole rock geochemical data, that a
number of syenitic intrusions at Wydee have similar
compositions to the syenite hosting the Young-Davidson gold deposit.
- Immobile element geochemistry show three syenitic intrusions at
Wydee have similar patterns.
- One syenite intrusion returned 2 assays of anomalous gold
background (i.e. 18 and 55 ppb).
4) Based on the preliminary results from this exploration
program, Murgor has acquired through staking a 100% interest in one
additional claim (9 units covering 144 hectares) to cover the
eastern extension of the newly discovered EW-trending shear zone
that is cutting through the Powell Syenite.

About the Wydee Property
The Wydee Property consists of 45 contiguous unpatented claims
(302 units), covering 4,837 hectares, northwest of the Town of Matachewan in Ontario where Aurico
Gold operates the Young Davidson Gold mine. Reserves
and resources at the Young Davidson Mine are currently reported at
5.5 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 2.66 g/t gold (a
breakdown of reserves and resource at Young Davidson, is provided
at the Aurico Gold Website). The Young Davidson Mine complex
also includes a fully operational 10,000 tonne per day mill. Murgor
owns a 100% interest in all the claims. Despite its proximity
to the Young Davidson deposit, very little systematic exploration
has been carried-out in the area. Murgor is focused on two
types of targets at Wydee: Syenite-hosted stockwork and
disseminated gold such as the Young Davidson deposit and shear
zone-hosted disseminated and lode gold mineralization associated
with splays of the Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault.
About Murgor Resources
Murgor Resources Inc. is a mineral exploration and development
Company focused on gold and copper exploration in Canada. The
company owns a 100% interest in two gold-copper deposits in the
Snow Lake and Flin Flon mining districts of Manitoba and a 40% interest in the Golden
Arrow Gold Mine in Ontario. The Company further owns an
exceptional portfolio of high potential gold properties in proven
mining districts of Canada, such
as its newly acquired Wydee Property. The company currently
holds nearly $1M in cash and
securities to finance its exploration activities.
