VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/09/13 -- Prosperity Goldfields Corp. (the "Company" or "Prosperity") (TSX VENTURE: PPG) announces final assay results for its 20 hole, 4,427 m winter drill program on its 100% owned Kiyuk Lake, Nunavut gold project (the "Property"). Final assay results from the Rusty discovery include 24 m at 2.52 g/t Au from 184 m, 24 m at 1.47 g/t Au from 10 m and 28 m of 1.05 g/t Au from 38 m in three separate drill holes. The winter program completed eleven holes at the Rusty Zone and nine holes at other prospects (see Figure 1, Rusty drill plan, & Figure 2, Winter drill locations).
Highlights from 2013 Winter Drilling
-- 35.9 metres of 4.95 g/t Au from 134.1 m at the Rusty Zone (previously
reported on April 9, 2013).
-- Multiple gold intersections greater than 20 m at 0.5 g/t Au cut-off from
five other holes at Rusty proving continuity of gold mineralization.
-- Rusty Zone still open at depth, at surface, and to the south east.
-- Anomalous gold grades (greater than 0.5 g/t Au over 2 metres) were
intersected in 17 of the 20 drill holes completed during the 2013 winter
program suggesting a large hydrothermal system exists on the Property.
"The 2013 winter drill program was a combination of further defining the Rusty Zone and testing other prospects, some of which had not previously been drilled. The Rusty Zone results were strong and demonstrated continuity of mineralization as well as defining limits to part of the system", commented Prosperity CEO Adrian Fleming. "Rusty is still open and needs more drilling to define a resource. The wildcat drilling at other prospects did not deliver a discovery but follow-up drilling is warranted at the newly identified hydrothermal centers at North Snake and Anderson, and many other prospects remain untested."
At the Rusty Zone, drilling has defined the limits of the breccia hosted gold mineralization to the north west and south west, however the zone is still open. Including the discovery hole at Rusty drilled in 2011, which returned 37.8 m at 4.18 g/t Au from 2.44 m, a total of 15 holes have been completed at the Rusty Zone. Ten of these holes contain significant gold intercepts at a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off as summarized in Table 1 and shown in the cross section, Figure 3. Of these ten holes, six were drilled in 2013. Previously unreleased intercepts include 24 m at 2.52 g/t Au from 184m (KI13-011), 24.0 m at 1.47 g/t Au from 10.0 m (KI13-013) and 28 m at 1.05 g/t Au from 38 m (KI13-015). Hole KI13-011 experienced drilling difficulties at 208 m and the rod string was lost in the hole. The last 24 metres of core prior to the hole being lost containing 24 m of 2.52 g/t Au suggests that mineralization could extend further to depth.
Three dimensional modeling of this winter drill data clearly shows that the Rusty Zone is open at the surface to the south east and at depth.
The nine exploratory drill holes completed this winter were at the Rasmussen, North Snake, Bancroft, Cobalt and Anderson prospects (Figure 2). Hole KI13-012 at North Snake intersected pyrrhotite and magnetite-bearing brecciated mudstone and returned 6 m at 1.33 g/t Au from 24 m at a 0.5 g/t cut-off. The other prospects' assays did not make the Company's strict 0.5 g/t Au and 6m minimum length intercept criteria, however, sporadic gold mineralization was intersected. At Bancroft, (3 exploratory holes) a 54 m interval in hole KI13-006 returned anomalous grades up to 1.4 g/t Au from 14 metres; at Cobalt KI13-019 returned a 44 m interval of anomalous grades up to 1.4 g/t Au from 122 metres; and at Anderson KI13-020 returned anomalous grades up to 1.5 g/t Au in two intervals. These wildcat drill results, although lower grade, emphasize that these prospects as worthy of further exploration and demonstrate that multiple hydrothermal centers, in addition to Rusty, exist on the property.
A summary of drill holes assays at the Property, outside of the Rusty Zone, with significant mineralized intercepts, at a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off is provided below in Table 2.
Collar coordinates and drill orientations for all 2013 drill holes are shown in Table 3.
All available geologic, geochemical, structural, and geophysical data is currently being evaluated in order to define the scope of the summer field program that is expected to be carried out in July or August 2013.
The exploration program is being directed by Adrian Fleming, CEO and a Director of Prosperity with additional specialist expertise in geology, geochemistry and geophysics being provided by CSA Global Canada Geoscience Ltd.
A comprehensive QA/QC program is in place to monitor precision and accuracy of assay results. Drill core samples are submitted with certified reference materials and analyzed by SGS Minerals Services, Red Lake, Ontario. Gold analyses are by fire assay using a 30 g charge and an atomic absorption spectrometry finish. Over-range assays greater than 3 g/t Au are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish. SGS Mineral Services is ISO 9001 accredited.
