KWG Resources Inc, Spider Resources Inc and Freewest Resources Canada Inc are pleased to provide an exploration update on the Big Daddy Chromite property.
Eight drill holes, 2,073 metres, have been completed, and have tested the Big Daddy Chromite prospect along its geophysically inferred strike length to Line 20 East, and to a vertical depth of approximately 180metres. The total amount of drilling in this campaign is estimated to be 11,000 metres in 28 drill holes. The drill program is deigned to test the entire geophysically inferred strike length on the property to a depth of +/- 250 metres.
Drilling has progressed significantly since the last report of October 1, 2009, where holes FW-09-24 and 25 were reported on section 1400 metres East. Drill spacing for this first pass of drilling was established at 200 metres, testing the entire geophysically inferred strike length to section 2000 metres East. Drilling has successfully encountered chromite mineralization in each section.
Since the start of the project in 2006 chromite mineralization has been established from Line 900 metres East to and including Line 2000 metres East, for a strike length of 1100 metres thus far. Additional drilling is underway to the Northeast in an area where the geophysical expression of the chromite mineralization appears to be disrupted by faulting.
Hole FW-09-27 was designed to step back and undercut Hole FW-09-26. This hole encountered massive chromite between 173.3 and 186.8 metres, followed by a second zone of massive chromite mineralization between 208 and 247 metres.
Hole FW-09-28 was designed as a 200 meter northeasterly step out from holes FW-09-26 and 27. The hole encountered massive chromite between 39 and 60.5 metres.
Hole FW-09-29 was designed to undercut Hole FW-09-28. Chromite mineralization was encountered between 117.4 and 136 metres, followed by another zone of massive chromite with narrow beds of semi massive chromite that was encountered between 234.8 and 244.3 metres, followed by a very thick bed of massive chromite between 248.6 and 323.5 meters.
Hole FW-09-30 was designed to test a 200 meter northeasterly step out from Holes FW-09-28 and 29. At the bedrock - overburden interface of 23.7 metres, the hole immediately entered massive chromite and stayed in this until 33.8 metres.
Hole FW-09-31 was designed to be a 200 meter step out from Holes FW-09-28 and 29 and to undercut Hole FW-09-30. Between 235.9 and 264.5 metres, massive chromite was encountered.
True widths of the chromite mineralization have yet to be determined, as this is typically done once the geometry of the mineralized body is determined. The systematic drill pattern as planned is designed to better understand the Big Daddy Chromite Prospect along its entire strike length at regular intervals, the chromite mineralized intersections are quite variable due to the geological nature of the intrusion. Once the current program is completed, an estimate of true width will be provided. At current rate of drilling, it is anticipated that the field portion of the program will be completed by early December.
