Blue Note Mining Finds More Gold at Williams Brook

MONTRÉAL, Jan. 12 /CNW Telbec/ - Blue Note Mining Inc. (BNT:TSXV) has found more gold during its 2009 exploration program at its 100%-owned Williams Brook Gold property located near Bathurst, New Brunswick.
Diamond drill hole WB-09-31 intersected 6.5 grams gold per tonne over a half metre from a depth 26.6 metres to 27.10 metres. WB-09-31 was drilled beneath and perpendicular to drill hole WB-08-09 which intersected 2.8 metres of 11.16 grams gold per tonne in 2008.
Trenching in 2009 revealed a grab sample containing 6.33 grams of gold per tonne. The 2009 trenching program was carried out in the vicinity of previously identified gold mineralization that included a float sample containing 28 grams of gold per tonne.
Drilling in 2008 identified two broad alteration zones including an intersection of 28 metres (23 metre true width) which assayed 0.91 grams per tonne gold. So far, the highest gold values have come from the gold-bearing quartz veins lying proximal to the broad alteration zone.
Art Hamilton, Blue Note's Regional Exploration Manager said that "A structural model of gold mineralization is emerging at Williams Brook with higher grade gold mineralization occurring in quartz veins that are proximal to broad gold-bearing alteration zones."
The 2009 trenching program indicates that the gold-bearing quartz veins trend at 110-140 degrees whereas the broad alteration zone mineralization trends at approximately 40 degrees. Two broad gold-bearing alteration zones trending northeast-southwest have thus far been identified. These zones lay oblique and proximal to the vein system. So far the mineralized quartz veins have been tested over a strike length of 200 metres along the alteration zones and remain untested further along strike.
The known alteration zones are interpreted to extend for a combined strike length that is in excess of two kilometres.
"We have only drilled into a very small portion of the gold-bearing alteration zone and its accompanying gold-bearing veins," said Art Hamilton. "The next phase of exploration will test for the occurrence of more gold-bearing vein clusters along strike, which is interpreted to run over two kilometres."
Gold-bearing grab samples from trenches are shown in Table 1. Drill collar locations and hole orientation are shown in Table 2 and analytical results are shown in Table 3. True widths of the mineralized intersections have not been clearly established.

Diamond drill core was split for sampling with a diamond saw and half of the core sampled and shipped to the Activation Laboratories Ltd. sample preparation facility in Fredericton, NB. Samples were analyzed at the Activation Laboratories Ltd. facility in Ancaster, ON by Neutron Activation (INAA) and ICP/OES with 4-acid digestion (Code 1H) and selected samples were analyzed by for gold by fire assay-metallic screen-gravimetric finish method (FA-MeT). Trench samples were analyzed by fire assay at Activation Laboratories. Higher grade silver and lead samples were analyzed by ICP/OES (Code 8).
