Blind Creek Reports Mineralization Exploration Activities

Blind Creek Resources has reported its mineralization exploration activities from the year 2004 till date.

The company had focused on ancient Atlin gold camp, regions near ancient Engineer Gold camp located on Tagish Lake, NW-BC for silver and gold and Mayo Mining District Yukon for silver and gold as well.

Around 5000 m of reconnaissance NQ core drilling was concluded at the Atlin Camp in the years 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2010. 3,330 m of reconnaissance diamond drilling was performed in 2011 using NTW core, which was 4 km south to Engineer Gold-Silver Mine situated on the Wann River Project. Hidden silver-gold mineralization was found in Wann river region; however, Atlin Camp did not report any such mineralization. In Wann river region, silver-gold mineralization was found in modified granodiorite-diorite quartz stockwork system close to major fault zone. In Wann River, the results showed 226.0 g/t silver and 11.3 g/t gold at a strike length over 650 m which was open in all directions.

Currently, the company is focusing on Wann River Project drilling using light-weight helicopter portable drilling instrument. The drilling will begin from April 15, 2012. It will proceed to 34 km west of the Atlin gold camp and then will be progressed to the north of Table Mountain, which is 15 km northwest from the Atlin gold camp. During 2011 drilling, a geochemical gold/silver-in-soil anomaly was identified in this region, which is yet to be defined. The results indicate that the anomaly is around 600 m in width present in the 2000 m wide lead zinc halo and is open yet.

About 25200 m of drilling has been concluded, including the drilling of prior operators, at the Blende lead-zinc-silver property, situated in the Mayo Mining District. The historic mineral resource shows 3.23% lead, 3.05% zinc and 67.5 g/t silver grades in 15.3 million tonnes. The company has planned to conduct new resource estimate in this property.
