Knick's Trecesson Property Tungsten Potential

Val-d'Or, Quebec, October 31, 2013, - Knick Exploration
Inc. (TSX-V: KNX)
is pleased to report that based on the recently received
initial grab samples results on "Vein No. 9", by
Knick of
0.64%, 0.63%
and 0.55% tungsten
tri-oxide (previously reported Oct. 8, 2013 press)
that were taken to confirm historic reports of
tungsten, the
company will
re-assay
several samples from the 2013 summer exploration program
of the Chib-Kayrand
Area of the property.
Knick will also
re-analyse
several samples for tungsten from previous work executed on
the Trecesson
property's multi veined Spirit Lake
and Scheelite
areas.
The 2011 phase I drill core of
the Cossette Gold Vein
system will be reviewed and examined by shortwave
ultra-violet
(UV) light
for its associated tungsten potential. Scheelite the tungsten bearing
mineral found on
the Trecesson
property has a bluish white fluorescence when
exposed to shortwave UV
light.
Tungsten analysis by
multi element scan
gives a partial
digestion result and does not reflect an accurate grade of tungsten within
a sample. Due to anomalous
tungsten results in certain multi-element scans of sampling
by Knick
the company
is re-analysing selected
samples originally performed by
multi-element scan.
The re-analysis is by
XRF method for
an accurate
measure of their tungsten content.
In the "Vein No. 9", G. Dumont
reported in 1951 that
a 13,500 lb. (6,136 kg.)
bulk sample assayed 0.45% tungsten tri-oxide
and 1g/t
gold. Surface exposure in old workings and historic
drill hole intersections
indicate that the vein is at least
450m long with
widths up
to 6.10m. In 1951 six holes were drilled
intersecting
the "Vein No.
9", and "new
parallel striking veins" at vertical depths of up to
91m (300 ft.).
A 1940 grab sample
contained 2.72%
tungsten and samples collected in
1941 assayed
2.7 to 27.5% tungsten
tri-oxide (MNRQ GM files).
China controls
approximately 80% of the
market followed by the former USSR with about
8% (reference: SIDEX,
Exploring for tungsten in Quebec). Typical grades for
tungsten are
0.3 to 1.5% tungsten
tri-oxide for veins, lower for stockworks.
Grab samples are selective by
nature and are unlikely to represent the average grade of the
mineralized zone.
Samples were sent to
Expert Laboratory in
Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec for analysis.
Fire assay, multi element scan
and XRF method
were implemented for analysis.
Standards and blanks are submitted
by Knick routinely to insure quality control.
The Chib-Kayrand Area is
located in the
east part of
Knick's Trecesson property. The property
covers most of the Trecesson Batholith which
has similar
characteristics to the Bourlamaque Batholith of
the Val
d' Or mining camp. It is
located 12 km
north of the town of Amos and approximately
65 km north northwest
of Val d' Or. The Trecesson Gold Property is
traversed by paved
and all weather
gravel roads making it accessible year round.
