Signature’s Historic Gold Assays Reaffirmed; Should Result in Significant Cost Savings and Expedite a Resource Estimate
TORONTO, March 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Signature Resources Ltd. (TSXV:SGU) (OTCQB:SGGTF) ("Signature" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received the Quality Assurance – Quality Control report prepared by Caracle Creek International Consulting Ltd on the assay results of Signature’s 2016 re-sampling program. In her concluding opinion Dr. J. Selway, Ph.D. states; “In the Qualified Person’s opinion, the assay data is adequate for the purpose of verification of historic drill core assays and for future resource estimation calculations”.
“We are extremely pleased with the strong correlation from the sampling program and the expected savings that we will have thanks to its success. All of the historic assays, including those that were not resampled, for a total of 25,000 meters will be meshed with future core assays when working towards a defined resource. This allows us to direct future drill programs on expansion drilling versus twinning, resulting in significant savings”, commented Walter Hanych, President and CEO.
From the report. “A total of 450 core duplicate pairs were plotted of which 9 duplicate pairs were considered to be “failed” duplicates due to the significant difference between the two Au assays. The linear regression line through the passed duplicated has R2 = 0.940. The significant absolute pair difference is more likely due to gold nugget effect than analytical error, as the dissimilar pairs are high grade Au samples with > 2 g/t Au. The dissimilar pairs represent 2.0% of the core duplicate pairs which the QP considers to be an excellent correlation between the historic and 2016 Au assays”.
The complete report titled, “QA/QC Report for the Resampling of Historic Drill Core, Lingman Lake”, is available for viewing on the company’s website: www.signatureresources.ca.
