Selkirk Metals Corp.: 12.19% Zn and 2.18% Pb Over 15.29 Meters From Ruddock Creek Underground Drilling | ||
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 8, 2009) - Selkirk Metals Corp. ("Selkirk" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SLK) is pleased to report the latest set of assay results from the underground diamond drilling program at the Ruddock Creek Property, located 100 km north-northwest of Revelstoke in the Kamloops and Revelstoke Mining Divisions, British Columbia. The most recent results compiled by the Company include holes EUG-08-17 to 23. These holes were located in the central portion of the area drilled during 2008, except for holes EUG-21 and 23, which contain the westernmost intercepts drilled. ---------------------------------------------------------------- From To Interval Zn Pb Ag Drill Hole # (m) (m) (m) % % g/t ---------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-017 20.21 26.85 6.64 8.03 1.74 2.35 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 73.47 78.25 4.78 4.48 1.22 7.51 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-018 52.00 54.64 2.64 9.24 2.14 2.35 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- 26.96 33.09 6.13 12.70 2.84 3.00 EUG-08-019 -------------------------------------------------- 84.10 88.71 4.61 9.31 1.73 2.92 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-020 70.28 75.73 5.45 11.72 2.40 3.26 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- 179.01 194.3 15.29 12.19 2.18 3.06 EUG-08-021 -------------------------------------------------- 227.58 238.41 10.83 10.23 1.96 2.33 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- 58.00 61.21 3.21 6.67 1.15 3.21 EUG-08-023 -------------------------------------------------- 175.65 183.52 7.87 7.30 1.20 1.96 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- From To Interval Zn Pb Ag Drill Hole # (m) (m) (m) % % g/t ---------------------------------------------------------------- 350.60 364.11 13.51 3.10 1.05 8.88 -------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-001 386.49 391.63 5.14 12.77 1.86 1.75 -------------------------------------------------- 397.10 398.29 1.19 9.02 2.64 4.00 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-002 232.00 236.24 4.24 4.39 0.92 0.00 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-003 230.20 231.20 1.00 16.32 3.36 5.00 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-004 142.15 144.81 2.66 13.72 3.12 2.88 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- 251.37 262.79 11.42 7.51 0.86 1.19 EUG-08-005 -------------------------------------------------- 313.10 331.97 18.87 8.38 1.52 2.10 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-007 129.57 134.20 4.63 12.71 2.87 4.14 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-008 32.61 40.15 7.54 3.27 0.58 0.76 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-009 61.44 71.15 9.71 4.65 0.96 2.63 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- 70.79 73.96 3.17 4.81 0.97 2.08 EUG-08-010 -------------------------------------------------- 107.00 108.60 1.60 11.37 2.87 2.55 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-011 90.64 94.18 3.54 7.59 1.61 2.44 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-012 51.44 55.02 3.58 10.42 2.39 1.85 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-013 56.85 58.75 1.90 16.71 3.58 5.54 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- 69.29 98.51 29.22 3.18 0.77 0.46 EUG-08-015 -------------------------------------------------- Incl. 78.65 82.19 3.54 11.54 2.25 2.32 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-016 64.38 70.10 5.72 6.05 0.91 1.51 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Previous surface drill programs on the near surface, eastern portion, of the E Zone have shown it to be up to 450m in dip extent from the northern to southernmost intercepts. In the area of the underground drilling the longest defined dip length of the horizon is 300m, however this remains open in both directions. All of the 2008 drilling was completed from drill stations located along the northerly trending decline, or on the easterly trending crosscut developed at the 900m point of the decline. The crosscut was developed to a length of 170 meters east of the main decline and includes four drill stations. The underground diamond drilling program has completed the required number of drill holes necessary to finalize the resource calculation for the portion of the E-Zone from surface outcrop to the point where it has been intersected by the decline, a length of approximately 1.2 kilometers. Operations on the Ruddock Creek Property are being conducted under the supervision of the Company's Qualified Person (as defined by NI 43-101), Jim Miller-Tait, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration. Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. was engaged to carry out the analytical work on all samples. The analytical procedure utilized was the Group 7AR 23 multi-element assay by ICP-AES methods.
