CALGARY, June 23, 2011 /CNW/ - StrikePoint Gold (TSXV:SKP.V) (Other OTC:STKXF.PK) announces that it has commenced the 2011 exploration program on its 100% owned Angelina property located at the south-eastern end of the Rice Lake gold belt in Manitoba.
During 2010, StrikePoint conducted a 4 week program of geologic mapping, prospecting, rock sampling and ground magnetic geophysical surveys within the Angelina Project. A total of 54 line-km of ground geophysical surveys and 137 rock grab samples were collected. A significant new high-grade vein system was discovered near Halfway Lake within a newly mapped 4 square-kilometre area characterized by lithologic contrast, dilational fold structures and broad halos of demagnetization, referred to as the "Hot Zone".
Rock grab samples were collected from intermittently exposed quartz vein mineralization over a 100 metre strike length within a prominent northeast trending topographic low anomaly. Assay results returned significant high grade assays of 199.0 g/t Au including 371 g/t silver (Ag) (sample 10BMP142), 80.1 g/t Au including 286 g/t Ag (sample 10BMP143), and 59.7 g/t Au including 189 g/t Ag (sample 10KRP125). A distance of 130 metres to the north, a poorly exposed 1 metre wide northwest trending quartz vein containing coarse pyrite returned assays of 45.1 g/t Au including 161 g/t silver (10JKP121), 26.7 g/t Au including 101 g/t Ag (10JKP122), and 10.5 g/t Au including 69 g/t silver (10RTP102) over a 50 metres strike length. This discovery is considered significant since the high grade samples above were collected from a 700 metre x 200 metre area of intense structural intensity and diversity near Halfway Lake.
The recently commenced 2011 Angelina exploration program will initially focus on the Halfway Lake discovery and will include detailed mapping, ground geophysics and drilling. Other nearby magnetic breaks within the Hot Zone are interpreted as shear zones and will be sampled for similar vein structures.
All sample analytical results contained in this press release, including standard and quality control samples were analyzed for gold by fire assay and/or multi-element ICP-MS analysis, as appropriate, by TSL Laboratories Inc, Saskatoon, SK.
