Kent Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KEX) reports that its wholly owned subsidiary, Archean Star Resources Australia Pty Ltd has commenced a 2nd phase diamond drill program on the Bunarra Prospect at the Gnaweeda Gold Project, Meekatharra, Western Australia which it holds under option from Teck Australia Pty Ltd.
The first segment of the 2nd phase diamond drill program, under the direction of Dr. Clay Conway, P.Geol., is intended to follow up on the high grade gold intersection at the Bunarra Prospect, where mineralization remains open along strike and down dip. Archean has identified mineralization to depths of over 200 meters, (660 ft) with the most significant intersection being drill hole BN003, a 18 meter (59 ft) intersection averaging 11.71 g/t Au that includes 4 meters (13 ft) at 37.76 g/t Au, (inclusive of a 1 meter intersection (3.3 ft) averaging 110.1 g/t Au), 1 meter (3.3 ft) at 24.2 g/t Au and 3m (10 ft) at 7.09 g/t Au.
The 17,000 ha (42,000 acre) Gnaweeda Gold Project consists of several gold prospects, including Turnberry in the north, which has an identified gold-bearing zone approximately 2.5 km (1.65 miles) along strike and 750 meters (0.46 miles) in width, St. Anne's, and Bunarra in the south, as well as other known gold-bearing prospects. Eleven additional targets have been identified based upon geophysical data. The property lies approximately 640 km (400 miles) northeast of Perth and 35 km (22 miles) northeast of Meekatharra, and comprises a package of two exploration licenses over a strike length of 28 km (17.5 miles) of the Gnaweeda Greenstone Belt.
