Expanded More Creek Corridor And Discovery Of Broad New High-Grade Gold-Silver Zone


VANCOUVER, BC - Sassy Resources Corporation it’s 146 sq. km Foremore Gold-Silver Project in Northwest British Columbia's prolific Eskay Camp. Highlights: Phase I drilling has intersected semi-massive to massive sulphides at shallow depths to extend the previously identified base metal/precious metal rich BRT Zone by 115 meters along strike. A new style of gold mineralization has also been discovered in this area, part of the now 5-km-long More Creek Corridor; New Eskay Camp high-grade gold-silver surface discovery over a broad area at "Westmore", a previously undrilled target 3 km southwest of the More Creek Corridor; & Drill crews will be mobilizing at Westmore shortly after Labour Day to test this exciting grassroots surface discovery for continuity of quartz vein hosted high-grade gold-silver mineralization to depth.

Up until just recently, much of Westmore, distinct from the More Creek Corridor, was covered by ice and snow year-round and was therefore only scantly investigated during previous rounds of intermittent systematic exploration at Foremore between the 1980's through 2008.

Mark Scott, President and CEO, said, "We are very pleased with how quickly this new surface discovery is building out and ticking all the boxes at this early stage. Mapping and prospecting continue ahead of first-ever drilling slated to begin within a week after Labour Day."

Phase I drilling intersected semi-massive to massive sulphides at shallow depths to extend the previously identified BRT Zone (gold, silver and base metals) by 115 meters along strike. In addition, a new style of gold mineralization has been noted above and below VMS massive sulphide zones occurring at the mafic/felsic contact. This newly identified mineralization does not appear to have been previously noted during historic core logging, nor does it appear to have ever been sampled for assaying. As a result of this discovery, Sassy plans to sample relevant sections of the available historic core.

Preliminary assay reports were received for the first three holes drilled during Phase 1 as expected by the end of August. Given the presence of multiple metals and the nature of mineralization, a number of steps are being undertaken in accordance with QA/QC to confirm the results in the preliminary assay reports prior to releasing final assays for these holes. Sassy is working diligently with its assay lab to generate these results as quickly as possible. Preliminary and final assays from the remaining eight holes of Phase 1 drilling in the More Creek Corridor are pending, as are results from early season surface sampling across various areas of the Foremore Project.

Additionally, Sassy has confirmed the conductivity of BRT-style mineralization through the use of Borehole EM (BHEM) surveys. More Creek Corridor mineralization was previously thought to be non-conductive. The early success with BHEM at BRT bodes well for the use of ground and airborne EM survey tools for further exploration of the More Creek Corridor and elsewhere at the Foremore Project. EM survey results for the work performed along the More Creek Corridor are being interpreted and will be reported in greater detail at a later date.
