VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/06/10 -- Decade Resources Ltd. ("Decade" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: DEC) reports that it is raising $2,600,000.00 with $2,100,000.00 eligible for flow-through and $500,000.00 on a non flow-through basis.
Proceeds of the financing will be used to further explore the Montrose zone on the Red Cliff property as well as further define the area of intense alteration and mineralization on the Wedeene property as outlined below.
On the Red Cliff property, a new drill program has been approved by the joint venture partners and drilling will commence within the next few days, as soon as the drill is mobilized to the site. Drilling will explore in the area of DDH-2010-MON-1 which returned 49.2 grams per tonne gold over 18.45 metres, 28.4 metres of 7.3 grams per tonne gold in DDH-MON-2009-3 and 24.7 metres grading 20.87 grams per tonne gold in DDH-MON-2009-6. Drilling will expand the area of high grade gold mineralization both south, north and to depth. Previous drilling has shown the Montrose zone to consist of a stockwork of quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite stringers associated with locally fine visible gold occurring along a 30 metre wide shear zone. Strong disseminated and fracture filled pyrite mineralization as well as galena-sphalerite-visible gold form an envelope to the above stockwork mineralization.
Twenty seven (27) diamond drill holes have been completed on this zone with assay results received for only four (4) holes to date. The next phase of drilling is expected to provide information that would allow the joint venture partners to make a decision on underground exploration in 2011.
On the Wedeene property, the area of the alteration and mineralization defined to date is in excess of 400 metres by 250 metres. Due to the extensive overburden, the company is planning a program of MMI soil sampling, IP surveys and down hole IP to define the limits of the copper-gold mineralized zone.
