Paget Expands Mess Creek and More Creek Porphyry Targets at the Ball Creek Project

Mess Creek is located 10 kilometers southeast of the Schaft Creek porphyry copper-gold deposit (Copper Fox Metals). Syenite intrusives outcrop sporadically over an area of approximately 2 x 1 kilometers and contain iron-carbonate alteration and gold-copper-mineralization. Historic and current surface rock chip samples range up to 0.3 to 3.5 g/t gold and 0.4 to 0.8% copper and soil samples range up to 0.62 g/t gold and 100 to 2200ppm copper. A second zone of altered and mineralized syenite located 500 meters to the east contains values ranging up to 0.5 to 10.1 g/t gold over a width of approximately 200 meters. Alteration and mineralization are structurally-controlled along dominant north-south trends, possibly as parallel structures to the regional Mess Creek fault that forms a wide drainage immediately to the west of the mineralized area.
