Cyprus Project Expanded - New Permits Granted Additional 50 Square Kilometres of Permitting Applied For
|
| |
Vancouver, British Columbia: Northern Lion Gold Corp. (the "Company") wishes to provide this update on the Republic of Cyprus exploration program. As previously reported on September 25, 2009, the Company has been evaluating additional areas along the Troodos Ophiolite Complex to add to the land position currently under option. The Department of Mines in Cyprus has granted the Company six new permits totaling 23.46 km2. These areas were selected on the basis of known deposits, abundant old workings and favourable geology. The targets are Cyprus type massive sulphide bodies that are believed to host significant gold mineralization as well as copper, zinc and silver.
Gold mineralization associated with the Cyprus massive sulphide ores has not historically been evaluated. As previously announced on June 17, 2008, during management's initial visit to the area in April 2008, six grab samples were collected from within the Company's Asproyia project and their application areas. Highlights included one sample which returned 4.1% copper, and another sample which returned 7.3 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 17.6 g/t silver.
Follow-up reconnaissance soil sampling over the area of the Asproyia permit in September 2009 has returned highly anomalous values in gold, copper and silver in areas of no known workings. A total of 77 samples were collected from the Asproyia area of which 27 returned moderately to strongly anomalous results, as shown in the following table. These results indicate that there are likely to be significant gold values associated with the Cyprus style massive sulphides deposits.
