Kings Bay Samples 6.07% Cu, 0.12% Cobalt and 28.7 ppm Silver at Trump Island Copper-Cobalt Project in Newfoundland

Vancouver BC. (FSCwire) - Kings Bay Resources Corporation (TSX.V: KBG), (FSE: KGB1), a mineral exploration company based in Vancouver Canada, is pleased to announce that it has received the assays back from the Phase 1 exploration program on its 100% owned, Trump Island Copper-Cobalt Project on the northern coast of Newfoundland.

Kings Bay conducted a three-day reconnaissance program, collecting 15 samples from outcrop on Trump Island. Four of the 15 samples exceeded the upper detection limit of 1.0% copper and reported cobalt values of 0.03% Co to 0.12% Co. One sample was returned for ore grade analysis returning grades of 6.07% Cu and 14.4 ppm Silver.

The sample assays seen below are considered grab samples and do not represent the entire area of the property.

The samples obtained permit follow up exploration for spring 2018.

Property Overview

The North Trump Island Property consists of 8 mineral claims encompassing an area of 2 square kilometers and is located 7 kilometers south of town of Twillingate, Newfoundland and Labrador. The property is accessible by boat 1.5 kilometers east from the nearest boat launch at Tizzards Harbour on NL Hwy 345.

The propertys history dates back to the mid 1860s when a 20-foot (6.1 m) shaft was sunk on a mineralized zone of massive chalcopyrite. At the bottom of the shaft, it was reported that the mineralized zone expanded with depth but, due to limited technology, no further excavation could be safely continued. Follow up grab sampling in 1999 by G. Lewis, an experienced local prospector, revealed mineralization assaying up to 3.80% Cu, 0.30% Co, 2.90 g/t Au and 10.9 g/t Ag near the old Clymo mine shaft. The property has not been drilled to date. The compilation of the recent 1998-99 field work done by Lewis suggests that a more detailed exploration program is warranted.

Sample Procedure

Samples were sent to Bureau Veritas in Vancouver for Aqua Regia digestion Ultrarace ICP-MS analysis and Eastern Analytical in Newfoundland for ICP and ore grade analysis.

Exploration History

In 1863 Nicholas Clymo, a miner of Cornwall, United Kingdom visited the area and sunk a pit to a depth of 20 feet (6.1 m) which followed a 3 feet (0.9 m) wide mineralized zone that was said to increase in thickness with depth. He reported that a shipment of high grade copper-cobalt ore was shipped to Swansea, England as documented in the Newfoundland Provincial Mineral Rights Database. This shipment was said to be worth 40 pounds per fathom (Clymo, 1863). In 1953, J. Kalliokoski of the Newfoundland Geologic Survey headed up a mapping and prospecting program for Newmont Mining Company in the area but no sample assays were reported. In the 1990s, G. Lewis conducted prospecting and limited rock and soil grab samples and filed a first-year assessment report in 1999 with the Newfoundland and Labrador Mineral Titles Branch.
