Selkirk Metals Corp.: 9.39% Zn and 1.34% Pb Over 14.12 Meters From Ruddock Creek Underground Drilling | |
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 20, 2009) - Selkirk Metals Corp. ("Selkirk" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SLK) is pleased to report the assay results for diamond drill holes EUG-08-24 to 32 from the 2008 Ruddock Creek underground exploration and development program. These drill holes were all located at the eastern up dip portion of the E-Zone that was drilled from underground in 2008. The results are summarized in the following table:----------------------------------------------------------------- From To Interval Zn Pb Ag Drill Hole # (m) (m) (m) % % g/t ----------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-024 88.18 89.88 1.70 6.96 1.54 2.25 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-025 73.70 77.45 3.75 5.10 0.97 3.20 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-026 92.52 96.85 4.33 9.39 1.49 3.39 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-027 58.41 60.05 1.64 8.65 1.37 4.29 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 82.21 86.88 4.67 9.94 1.85 2.19 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 102.72 110.82 8.10 10.58 1.64 1.91 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 116.83 130.95 14.12 9.39 1.34 2.36 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-028 85.25 90.78 5.53 3.09 0.46 0.79 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-029 Abandoned ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-030 99.64 106.69 7.05 6.24 1.05 1.07 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-031 112.00 122.67 10.67 2.97 0.55 1.34 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 131.82 140.18 8.36 7.29 1.43 3.07 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 160.34 160.67 0.33 15.68 3.48 18.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- EUG-08-032 107.74 108.07 0.33 13.13 2.57 8.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Ruddock Creek Sulphide Horizon consists dominantly of calc-silicate rocks, pegmatites and lesser biotite schist. Lenses of massive sulphide, composed of sphalerite, pyrrhotite and galena in order of abundance are hosted by the calc-silicate portions of the package. The Ruddock Creek Sulphide Horizon varies from less than 5m to over 50m in true thickness. Multiple individual massive sulphide lenses are present within the horizon, ranging from less than 1m to greater than 5m in true thickness, separated by variable thicknesses of non mineralized pegmatite, calc-silicate or biotite schist. Locally these stacked lenses of massive sulphide and host rock, attain true thicknesses of over 30m of ore grade material. 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.
