Planned Program For Fortuity 89 Property


VANCOUVER - Discovery Harbour Resources Corp. reported that Newcrest Resources Inc. has provided the details of its planned program for the Fortuity 89 epithermal gold property in Nevada.

The Fortuity 89 property covers very limited outcrop surrounded by a large covered area. The outcrop and interpreted geology are prospective for concealed low sulphidation epithermal gold mineralization below shallow unconsolidated alluvial gravels. Newcrest's planned activities include a geophysical program encompassing a 675 line kilometer drone airborne magnetic survey, a 250 station ground gravity survey and a 45 line kilometer audio band magnetotellurics (AMT) resistivity survey. It is intended that geologic and alteration sampling and mapping will also be undertaken with a soil geochemical sampling program. The intended outcome of this program is to identify potential drill targets for testing this calendar year.

Mark Fields, President and CEO, said, "We are very pleased to see Newcrest is rapidly advancing activity on Fortuity 89 through the planned evaluation and target identification for a drill program. Newcrest has committed an initial minimum commitment of US$1.5 million to begin the evaluation of the Fortuity 89 property.
