More High-Grade Gold Intersections In Parallel Vein


WINNIPEG, MANITOBA - Winston Gold Corp. reported that its ongoing underground drilling program continues to intersect high-grade gold on the western extension of the Parallel vein system at its Winston Gold Project near Helena, Montana. Underground drill hole W123 cut through the Parallel Vein 100 ft. ahead of, and 40 ft below the current development face of the Parallel vein on the 4637 level. It intersected 1.408 oz/ton gold over 5 ft and included a 2 ft interval which averaged 3.479 oz/ton gold. A second hole, W126, tested an area of the Parallel vein 321 ft east of hole W123 and 66 ft below the 4637 level. It intersected a 2 ft interval averaging 0.983 oz/ton gold and included a 0.5 ft interval averaging 3.916 oz/ton gold. If this interval is diluted over a 3 ft stope mining width, the average grade drops to 0.655 oz/ton (22.45 g/t) gold.

Current observations indicate the vein dip is constantly changing in this area of the mine. "These recent drill holes have added more data points and improved the continuity of gold mineralization in the Parallel vein," said Murray Nye, CEO and Director. "We are still not clear of the full extent of the Custer or Parallel veins as we step out to the West, but these vein systems keep surprising us and surpassing our expectations."

All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company's project geologists and the chain of custody from the drill to the on-site sample preparation facility was continuously monitored. The samples are crushed, pulverized and the sample pulps digested and analyzed for gold using fire assay fusion and a 50 gram gravimetric finish. Any assay averaging more than 0.1 opt gold is sent to Bureau Veritas Minerals in Reno Nevada for checks. Blank or certified reference materials are inserted randomly.
