Doubleview Capital Corp. Designing Next Phase of Exploration Program on Hat Project
Doubleview Capital Corp. ("Doubleview") (TSX-V: DBV) is pleased to announce that it is designing an induced polarization geophysical survey as part of the next phase of its exploration of the Hat Project. The survey will supplement historic geophysical data and provide additional coverage in areas of the Hat Project where deep overburden and marshy ground have restricted gathering of technical information. Doubleview's field crew is currently preparing a grid of measured lines for the induced polarization geophysical survey. The Phase 2 exploration program of diamond drilling and ground geophysics will commence when additional financing has been arranged.
The initial program of diamond drilling comprised six drill holes with total length 1380 metres. Drill holes Hat 1 - Hat 5 intersected altered andesitic volcanic rocks and dioritic intrusive rocks with short intercepts of weak to strong pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization but did not fully account for the anomalies. Drill hole Hat 6 was the initial test of a separate geophysical target located 800 metres south of holes Hat 1 - Hat 5. As previously reported, pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization was encountered in Hat 6 drill hole from near surface to approximately 250 metres. Drill cores have been logged and sampled on site and have been submitted to an accredited laboratory for analysis by industry-standard procedures. QA/QC protocols are being observed. Analytical results will be released when they are received. Core from drill hole Hat 6 has not been examined by the Company's Qualified Person.
