VANCOUVER, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Copper Creek
Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Copper Creek", TSX.V: CPV) announces
that the diamond drilling program is currently in progress at the
Bonsai property in north central British
Columbia. Six holes of the currently planned 13 hole, 4000m
drilling program have been completed. BZ10-007 and BZ10-008 are
currently being drilled. The Bonsai property is located 6 km
southwest of the past producing Eskay Creek
Mine, operated by Barrick Gold Corporation.
Drill cores from holes BZ10-001 and BZ10-002 have been forwarded
to ALS Chemex Labs in North
Vancouver and are undergoing assay analysis for both gold
and multi-elements. The Company intends to release assay results,
as they become available, in batches of 3 holes per news
release.
Two diamond drill rigs are presently drilling on the property.
One drill rig is operated by DMAC Drilling Ltd. of Aldergrove, BC, the second is operated by
Black Hawk Drilling Ltd. of Smithers,
BC. The Company is pleased to report the program is ahead of
schedule and on budget. The program is mostly targeting
chargeability anomalies generated by this summer's ground EM and IP
surveys. To date, drilling has encountered zones abundant in
disseminated, and at times, semi-massive sulphides which have been
observed in all holes drilled to date. The sulphides observed
consist primarily of fine grained pyrite and pyrrhotite in the form
of disseminations, stringers, small blebs and in rare cases hosted
within clasts in breccia zones. Additional sulphides observed
include sphalerite, magnetite as well as chalcopyrite.
The following depths have been reached to date in this season's
drill program:
