WE RECEIVE HIGHEST GRADES TO DATE FROM THE GABBRO LAKE IRON ORE
Metals Creek Resources/ Golden Dory Resources Receives Highest Grades To Date From The Gabbro Lake Iron Ore Discovery in the Labrador Trough
GL12-04 Cuts 87.49 metres of 34.03% Fe including 20.75 metres grading 41.02% Fe
GANDER, NEWFOUNDLAND – July 24, 2012 – Golden Dory Resources Corp., TSX.V-GDR ("Golden Dory") and Metals Creek Resources Corp., TSX.V-MEK, are pleased to provide the latest preliminary assay results from the recently completed Phase 1 diamond drilling program at the Gabbro Lake iron ore project in the Labrador Trough. The latest results are from the upper portion of GL12-04 which intersected iron mineralization from surface to 91.75 meters, and a second intersection (for which assays are pending) from 133.95 metres to 210.00 metres down hole. Assay results from holes GL12-03 and GL12-05 are also pending.
Hole | From (m) | To (m) | Lengh (m) | Fe (%) | |
GL12-04 | 4.26 | 91.75 | 87.49 | 34.03 | |
Dip - 45 | incl | 49.40 | 70.15 | 20.75 | 41.02 |
GL-12-01* | 5.32 | 43.33 | 38.01 | 33.64 | |
Dip -45 | incl | 54.00 | 61.66 | 7.66 | 28.36 |
GL12-02* |
61.50 | 143.00 | 81.50 | 28.27 | |
Dip -45 | incl | 109.00 | 143.00 | 34.00 | 34.23 |
Kevin Keats, President and CEO of Golden Dory, commented; “The results from GL12-04 are the best to date with local sections grading as high as 50.8% Fe. These grades are comparable to other projects in the Trough and further enhance our discovery at Gabbro Lake. The upper intersection in GL12-04 appeared to carry noticeably more hematite as matrix to mainly magnetite mineralization, as well as semi-massive sections of finer grained hematite and specular hematite that appears to be reflected in the stronger assays, those greater than 40% Fe. We look forward to the follow up drilling program.”
All holes drilled to date tested various magnetic highs within the 2.0 by 2.2 kilometre Anomaly D target area in the south-central portion of the property (see map on website www.goldendoryresources.com). GL12-04 was drilled approximately midway between previously reported holes GL12-01 and 02 which lie approximately 1.2 kilometers apart. Sampling of all Phase 1 holes has been completed and all samples have been shipped to Activation Laboratory’s prep lab in Goose Bay, Labrador. Golden Dory, the project operator, can earn a 70% interest in the Project as announced on May 16, 2012. The two companies will form an operating JV once Golden Dory has earned the 70% interest whereby Metals Creek will hold the remaining 30% (see news release May 16, 2012).
The Gabbro Lake Project is strategically located in the eastern portion of the Labrador Trough, 50 km from the rail line servicing the Schefferville mining camp and 8 km from an all-weather access road. Within the Gabbro Lake property, the magnetic data defines the targets as a structurally folded and faulted iron formation and shows a number of areas that may be thickened by the structural complexity. Work carried out by the joint venture, the first ever on the property, included airborne geophysics which outlined four significant “magnetic high” target areas, Anomalies A to D (see geophysical map on homepage at www.goldendoryresources.com).
All samples submitted for assay were delivered by Golden Dory personnel to Activation Laboratory’s prep lab in Goose Bay, Labrador. Pulps were then forwarded to Activation Laboratory’s facility in Ancaster, Ontario for analysis by XRF.
