Eastfield Acquires Gold Property in British Columbia
|
| | Vancouver, BC, February 23 2009 - Eastfield Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ETF) ("Eastfield") has recently staked a new property in British Columbia named Kilometre 26. The property is located 55 kilometres northwest of Fort St. James and is easily accessed by a major industrial road.
The property, which covers approximately 1,840 ha, is centred and extends 15 km along the regional Pinchi Fault Zone. The property was staked to cover the area where, in 1983, Cominco discovered a boulder which repeatedly returned assay grades ranging around 8.1 g/t gold. The style of mineralization and alteration encountered on the property with the boulder is similar to what has been called Mariposite Ore, in the historic Motherlode district of California.
The Pinchi Fault is a major structural feature that separates distinct geological terranes. It extends in a northwesterly orientation for more than 450 kilometres. Current hot spring activity on the Pinchi Fault at Tchentlo Lake, located 50 kilometres to the north of the Kilometre 26 property, confirms that this activity continues.
The Pinchi Fault with its terrane bounding character, ultramafic intrusive affinities, mercury mineralization and hot spring activity is analogous to the Melones Fault (Motherlode District) and the Stony Creek Fault (Mclaughlin Mine), both in California, and offers potential for hosting major gold deposits. Much of the area is overburden covered. Eastfield is inviting joint venture partners to fund exploration on Kilometre 26.
