Grandview Gold Inc. Begins Drilling at Dixie Lake Project, in Red Lake Gold District
Grandview Gold Inc. (TSX:GVX)(OTCBB:GVGDF) ("Grandview" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that, its 2011 Canadian Exploration Program (the "Program")
has begun at the Company's Dixie Lake property (the "Property"), in the Red Lake
Gold District. The geological team has collared the first of up to 10 holes
planned for the 2,200m Program and diamond drilling will begin immediately,
continuing through to the end of July or early August, 2011.
"I spoke with the team on Sunday and everything looks good on the Property,"
says Grandview President and CEO Paul Sarjeant B.Sc, P.Geo. "We are proceeding
with confidence and optimism that our Program will deliver the results we
forecast through our exploration and modelling, and that Teck Exploration
indicated when they worked the Property in 1989-1990."
The Company's exploration Program for the Property focuses on continued drilling
at the 88-4 and 88-4 West Zones, to bring the historic non-NI 43-101 compliant
mineral resource originally estimated by Teck Exploration (1989-90) of 417,000
short tons at 0.126 ounces per ton, and later estimated by Teck to indicate a
possible tonnage of 1.1 million short tons at 0.1 ounces per ton, to formal NI
43-101 compliance. In addition, drilling in select target areas within the
mineralized zones is planned to confirm that the 88-4 and 88-4 West zones are
connected, as indicated by recent modelling.
About Dixie Lake
Grandview has an option agreement with Newmont Mining Corporation (formerly
Fronteer Gold Inc.) and has earned a 67% interest in the 1,664 hectare Dixie
Lake property located 16 miles south of Goldcorp's Red Lake Mine. The Property
has an established gold resource (Teck, 1989), estimating a tonnage for the 88-4
zone of 1.1 million tons grading 0.10 ounces gold per ton; upgraded from an
original estimate of 417,000 short tons at 0.126 ounces per ton.
Dixie Lake is highly prospective for Grandview due to its location in the Red
Lake area, the historic work that has been done in and around the 88-4 Zone
since 1945, and significant results of work undertaken by Grandview elsewhere on
the Property from 2005 through 2009 - including NS Zone assays of 22.90 g/T Au
over 2.86 m and 18.29 g/T over 2.20 m, with considerable visible gold in core.
Grandview has not completed the work required to verify this historical estimate
and is not treating this historical estimate as being compliant with current
standards under NI 43-101 and as such this historical estimate should not be
relied upon.
