Goldplay Anounces Encouraging Results of up to 5.90gpt Gold and 155gpt Silver from the First Exploration Program Completed on the Scottie West Project - Seite 2

The Leduc NE Ridge yielded assays of up to 5.29 gpt Gold. A composite sample taken across 5 m of pervasive silicification and quartz veining within a major NE structure also assayed 1.00 gpt Gold. Channel samples, 1 metre across, taken from what was described as a "silicified cap" within lapilli tuff fragmental volcanic are all strongly anomalous in Gold as well. These "silicified cap" rocks occur proximal to the major NE structure identified above. The structure is a compelling target due to the size and degree of silica alteration with coincident anomalous Gold within the structure and surrounding silicified volcanic. The structure appears to mark the contact between mafic and intermediate volcanic fragmental to the northwest and conglomerates to the southeast. Table 2 highlights results from the Leduc NE Ridge.

The Leduc East-central Ridge also yielded assays of up to 2.19 gpt Gold and 119 gpt Silver within NE trending fault zones containing quartz, sericite and pyrite alteration, and chalcopyrite and sphalerite mineralization. Table 3 highlights results from the Leduc East-central Ridge. The Ridge is immediately south of the Leduc NE Ridge and consists of predominantly epiclastic conglomerate. Pillow basalt occurs on the west end of the ridge. It is speculated that the conglomerates and pillow basalts might be related to the Eskay Rift however there is not enough evidence to confirm such a speculation. Intrusive rocks believed to be part of the Eocene Boundary Stock occur at the south end of the ridge.

The East Border Nunatak consists of a mixed package of coherent andesitic and dacitic volcanic and associated volcaniclastic, believed to be part of the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group. The Eocene Boundary Stock occurs at the southern end of the Nunatak and as dykes within the Hazelton Group rocks. Malachite and hydrozincite were noted in numerous locations and are hosted within both volcanic and intrusive rocks and associated fractures and faults. One grab sample assayed of up to 0.95 gpt Gold, 91.9 gpt Silver, 2.77% Zinc and 0.85% Lead. Another sample assayed 0.27% zcopper. Table 4 highlights the East Border Nunatak samples.
