Metallic Screen Assays at Crowsnest Confirm Gold Results
|
| | Vancouver, BC, December 11, 2009 - Eastfield Resources Ltd. "Eastfield" (TSX-V: ETF) is pleased to report that Crowsnest property optionee MAX Resource Corp. "MAX" has received the results of the metallic screen assays conducted on all samples from its recent reverse circulation drill program at the Crowsnest project in Southeastern BC. Metallic screen assaying was performed to determine if assays for screened metallic fractions are significantly variable from the original assay values. Results indicate that the metallic screen assays have no significant impact on the original assays for samples containing native gold grains.
As reported in our news release of November 24, 2009, twenty-six closely-spaced reverse circulation drill holes totalling 799 metres were completed with the main objective of determining the orientation and configuration of the mineralized zone that was uncovered in the original Discovery Trench and in two new trenches to the northwest. Of the 26 holes drilled, seven holes (including RC 09-07) contained gold intercepts greater than 2.0 g/t over 1.5 metres and a further six drill holes returned values ranging from 0.5 g/t to 1.86 g/t Au over minimum 1.5-metre intervals. Hole RC 09-07 returned 19.03 g/t gold over 6.1 meters, including 1.5 meters of 50.26 g/t gold. All mineralization was intercepted within 30 metres of surface. A map showing the location of the trenches and drill holes completed at Crowsnest is available on our web site at www.eastfieldresources.com.
MAX is planning a comprehensive exploration program for 2010 with the purpose of expanding the area of high grade mineralization at Crowsnest. New targets that have already been identified during surface exploration and review of historic data will also be tested.
The Crowsnest gold project consists of 15 claims totaling 3,142 hectares located in Southeast BC, one and one-half hours by gravel road south of Fernie. Crowsnest is one of two gold exploration properties that Eastfield has optioned to MAX.
