Strongbow Commences Trenching Program at the Shovelnose Gold Property, BC

Marketwired
Strongbow Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE: SBW) is pleased to
announce the start of an exploration program on its wholly owned
Shovelnose gold property in southwestern British Columbia. The
mineral claims are located near the southern end of the Spences
Bridge gold belt, approximately 175 km east of Vancouver and 30 km
south of Merritt along the Coquihalla Highway. Exploration
activities are scheduled to focus on mechanized trenching of the
Mik and Line 6 gold showings. Initial trenching of the showings in
2008 exposed massive to colloform banded quartz veins and local
vein breccia zones up to 50 cm in thickness and hosted within
moderately to strongly altered felsic volcaniclastic rocks.
Highlight results of the 2008 work included 5.1 g/t Au over 6.0 m
from the Line 6 showing trench L6-XT-04 and a prospecting sample
that returned 119.4 g/t Au.
The current trenching program is intended to better evaluate
both showings in an effort to identify target areas for a future
drilling program. Detailed soil geochemical surveys have defined
broad gold in soil geochemical anomalies (measuring up to 600 m x
1000 m) associated with both showings. These areas will be tested
by approximately 300 m of trenching, as well as further mapping and
prospecting surveys. The program is scheduled for completion by the
end of October 2009.
Strongbow's 2008 exploration programs are conducted under the
supervision of David Gale, P.Geo.(BC), Vice-President of
Exploration for Strongbow and a qualified person under NI
43-101.
