Marketwired
La Quinta Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE: LAQ)(FRANKFURT: LQK)
("La Quinta" or "The Company") is pleased to announce that it has
applied for drilling permits for its Easter project located 110
miles NE of Las Vegas in SE Nevada. The approval of the Notice of
Intent is pending review by the Caliente office of the Bureau of
Land Management and acceptance of reclamation bonding.
La Quinta proposes to drill approximately 11,000 ft (3,385 m) of
reverse circulation percussion drilling and diamond drilling in 23
drill holes sited in 2 zones at Easter. The primary work will be
infill drilling downdip of the existing NI43-101 compliant
indicated resource containing 101,000 oz gold and 1M oz silver.
Twenty holes are planned for this targeted area.
The second zone is the recently discovered outcrop found to
contain as much as 10 g/t gold and 70 g/t silver. This area, which
appears to contain a discrete shoot of higher grades of
mineralization on the West Vein, has never been drilled previously.
La Quinta plans to drill 3 exploratory holes on this area to
determine orientation of the mineralization as support for a
subsequent detailed drilling program.
La Quinta has contracted with Leach Drilling of Silver Springs,
NV to perform both the percussion and the diamond drilling for this
phase of work on the Easter project.
The information contained in this news release has been
reviewed, approved and deemed relevant by Walter Martin (President
of the Company) C.P.G., a qualified person as defined under
National Instrument 43-101.
About La Quinta Resources Corporation
La Quinta is a junior precious metals exploration company
actively seeking mineral opportunities for the benefit of our
stakeholders. Currently the Company is focused on exploring for
gold and silver on its Easter Project and Black Jack properties in
Nevada. The Easter Project is underlain by an epithermal
quartz-adularia vein stockwork system hosted within Tertiary
volcanic rocks of the Caliente Caldron Complex of southeastern
Nevada. Numerous drill programs were conducted over the past 27
years by several operators. The resultant 121 holes and five adits
were used to outline a 43-101 compliant resource of 2.6 million
tons at 1.3 g/t gold (0.038 oz/t) and 14 g/t silver (0.4 oz/t)
within an area of gold mineralization with a strike length of at
least 6,450 feet (1,966 m) and drill-defined widths up to 90 feet
(27.4 m). Significant prior intercepts include up to 0.194 oz. Au /
ton over 90 feet (6.6 g/t over 27.4m true thickness) (including
0.549 oz. Au / ton over 15 feet (18.8 g/t over 4.5m)) and 0.084 oz.
/ ton over 110 feet (including 0.534 oz. Au / ton over 5 feet)
(2.88 g/t over 33.5 m w/internal 18.3 g/t in 1.52 m). The Black
Jack property, an early-stage exploration target in NE Nevada,
consists of old mine workings that contain silver-gold-base metals
veins hosted in Ordovician limestones that overlie nearby Cambrian
shale. No resource has been identified on this property.
