Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSX VENTURE: GZD) (OTCQX: GZDIF)
(FRANKFURT: G6H) ("Grizzly" or the "Company") is pleased to provide
the following update on its 2011 exploration program at its 100%
owned Greenwood Gold Project, a 225,000 acre contiguous block of
mineral claims centered on Greenwood, British Columbia. The Company
commenced ground exploration in early May and has recently received
drill permits from the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and
Mines for the Ket 28, Dayton and Motherlode target areas. Grizzly
is currently planning to commence a 4,000 metre ("m") to 5,000m
surface diamond drilling program during the upcoming months to test
these and a number of new target areas. The Company anticipates
that the drill contractor, Lone Peak Drilling, will commence
drilling in early September.
Current Exploration Status
The Stage 1 field-based exploration program, which began in May
2011, continues to progress. The program consists of extensive
ground geophysical surveys including: induced polarization ("IP")
surveys; horizontal loop electromagnetic ("HLEM") surveys; Promis
electromagnetic ("EM") surveys; magnetometer surveys; prospecting;
and rock and soil sampling. This is coupled with geological mapping
at a number of existing targets including: Copper Mountain, Ket 28,
and the Dayton area, as well as a series of new targets identified
by detailed analysis of airborne geophysical surveys conducted in
2008 and 2009. To date, approximately 5,923 soil samples and 354
rock grab samples have been collected and shipped to ALS Chemex in
Vancouver, British Columbia. More than 94 line-km of IP surveys (at
9 targets), more than 61 line-km of ground HLEM and Promis EM
surveys, and more than 67 line-km of ground magnetic surveys have
also been completed. The budget for these activities is
approximately $1.2 million and will continue through early
September, with results to follow.
New Targets for Follow-up Exploration
The 2011 fieldwork has identified coincident IP or HLEM
anomalies with spatially associated excellent gold-in-soil
anomalies of greater than 100 parts per billion (ppb) gold at the
Overlander, P2, P4, P5 and B4-B5 target areas. Additional
gold-in-soil anomalies have been identified in conjunction with IP
anomalies at previously drilled targets including Ket 28 and
Dayton. Anomalous rock grab samples with greater than 5 grams per
tonne (g/t) gold or greater than 1% copper, in most cases, are
spatially coincident with magnetic or EM anomalies that have been
identified at Overlander, P5, B7 along with Ket 28, Dayton and the
Copper Mountain target areas. A number of the gold-in-soil
anomalies and anomalous rock grab samples that are spatially
associated with geophysical anomalies; including HLEM and IP
anomalies, represent drill targets. A number of the anomalies are
also coincident with historic workings that have never been
drilled.
Future Work
Land use applications for drilling have been submitted to the
Ministry of Energy and Mines in Cranbrook, British Columbia for
approval for the Copper Mountain and Overlander target areas of the
Greenwood Gold Project, which we expect to obtain by September or
October, 2011. The Company has instructed APEX Geoscience Ltd. to
construct and submit drilling applications for the P2, P4, P5 and
B4-B5 target areas. The Company plans to commence drilling by early
September and continue through to the end of November, 2011, which
includes an approximately 4,000m to 5,000m diamond drilling
program.
All 2011 field and office exploration programs are conducted
under the supervision of Mr. Michael Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., a
principal of APEX Geoscience Ltd. and a Qualified Person under
National Instrument 43-101.
