February 12, 2013 BC Geologic Survey Paper Reinforces WestKam Exploration Strategy at Bonaparte | |
WestKam Gold Corp. (TSX.V - WKG) ("WestKam" or the "Company") announced today that the BC Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas has released a BC Geological Survey Paper on WestKam's Bonaparte Property located near Kamloops in southern British Columbia. The report resulted from an investigation of Bonaparte by BC government geologists Jim Logan and Mitch Mihalynuk in 2012. A summary of their findings was released in January 2013. A link to the full report is posted on the "Recent News" section of WestKam's website (www.westkamgold.com). The report, titled "Bonaparte Gold: another 195 Ma porphyry Au-Cu deposit in southern British Columbia?" was highlighted by their statement, "We speculate that the Bonaparte deposit represents an upper level of a buried porphyry system." "We are extremely encouraged by the positive data presented in this arm's length investigation," said WestKam President & CEO Matt Wayrynen. "We have long believed that the Bonaparte property holds significant potential for discovery of a large-scale, porphyry copper-gold system." Following is a summary of Mr. Logan's and Mr. Mihalynuk's findings:
WestKam Gold's plans for 2013 include a comprehensive surface mapping and sampling program and systematic drill campaign designed to 1) establish a NI 43-101 compliant resource for the property, 2) evaluate potential extensions to the known veins, and 3) explore the property's potential to host a deeper bulk tonnage, porphyry copper-gold (± molybdenum) deposit.
