Klondike Silver Corp. Continues to Intersect Lode Structure in Silvana Drilling
14 October 2010 - 12:00AM
Marketwired
Klondike Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE: KS) (the "Company") is pleased
to announce it has completed 2,341 feet (714 m) in 6 holes of an
expected maximum of 4,000 feet (1,220 m) of diamond core drilling
at Station No. 3 located on the westerly extension completed
earlier this year of the 4625 level of the Silvana silver-lead-zinc
mine. This drift extension and the associated drilling is exploring
the initial portion of the 7,000 feet (1.5 km) long segment of
unexplored and presumed highly prospective ground hosting the Main
Lode structure of the Slocan mining camp between Sandon and
Silverton, BC. The core drilling underway at Station No. 3 has
continued to intersect a structure interpreted as the Main Lode
structure including a zone of intersections of significant widths
containing strong quartz-carbonate veining occasionally accompanied
by minor lead and zinc sulphides mineralization. The four such
intersections cut so far have estimated true widths of 20 feet (6
m) or more. They represent a strike length of some 200 feet (60m),
with a dip length on the structure of 300 feet (90 m) indicating an
openness updip and northwesterly towards the former Carnation mine
workings. The latter workings as mapped in the 1950s contained
discontinuous mineralized vein segments in the Main Lode structure
with sampled accompanying Ag/Pb/Zn mineralization having assays of
potential economic grade.
In order to extend coverage and expand on the knowledge base of
the Main Lode structure up dip the Company may consider
re-activation of the accessible Carnation mine 5480 Level workings.
A down-hole drilling program from the hangingwall side of the Main
Lode into the interval from the Carnation to Silvana would be
proposed. A footwall cross-cut and subsequent drilling program from
the area of the current 4625 Level drilling would also be proposed
to extend coverage of this interval, which has an approximate dip
length of 1,500 feet (450 m).
A third phase of southwesterly drift advance on 4625 Level
started earlier in the year, was also based on geological
information obtained from the recent drilling. It is planned for an
approximate a 660 foot (200 m) advance and will similarly be
followed by core drilling to further explore the Main Lode
structure and its mineralization in this extensive untested area of
Company-owned property.
The Company also announces that it has entered into a loan
agreement to borrow $400,000 over a 6-month period. The terms
include interest at the rate of 10%, cumulative monthly, and the
issuance of a bonus of 800,000 shares at a deemed price of $0.05
per share, subject to regulatory approval. There are no warrants or
finder's fees involved in this transaction. A security agreement
has been completed, and the funds for the loan will be used for
operating capital.
