Mr. Harvey Keats, Chief Executive Officer of Donner Metals Ltd., reports assay results from exploration drilling on the Matagami Property. Assays were returned from a wedge hole on the McLeod Deep discovery which returned 10.27% zinc, 3.44% copper, 50.71g/t silver and 1.12g/t gold over 7.50 metres in massive sulphides. Assays were also received from a drill hole completed at Daniel-1 that intersected massive and semi-massive pyrite-rich sulphides over 22.0 metres.
Massive and semi-massive sulphide mineralization was intersected in drill hole MCL-09-02W2 at the Key Tuffite horizon, 340 metres down-dip from the McLeod Zone (Indicated resource: 1.88 million tonnes grading 10.88% zinc, 1.42% copper, 30.1g/t silver, 0.58g/t gold). Massive sulphides returned 10.27% zinc, 3.44% copper, 50.71g/t silver and 1.12g/t gold over 7.50 metres at a vertical depth of 1,195 metres. This interval was preceded by a separate 0.83 metre interval of semi-massive sulphides that graded 6.67% zinc, 4.41% copper, 53.50g/t silver and 0.47g/t gold. This intersection is located 106 metres up-dip from discovery drill hole MCL-09-02 (6.05% zinc, 1.85% copper, 65.49g/t silver and 1.56g/t gold over 21.60 metres) and mineralization is again underlain by very well developed Pipe alteration that is consistent with the mineralization and alteration trend that is the target for exploration drilling down-dip of the McLeod Zone.
Assays have also been received from diamond drill hole DAN-09-13 that was drilled 63 metres down-dip and slightly west of DAN-09-10 (2.20% copper, 0.09% zinc, 8.8g/t silver and 0.25g/t gold over 3.95 metres). This drill hole intersected 22.72 metres of massive and semi-massive pyrite which contained a 10.8 metre interval of massive pyrite. The mineralization did not return significant assays.
A total of 8 drills are currently active on the project, three investigating exploration targets and five on feasibility definition drilling at Bracemac-McLeod.
