Typhoon Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE: TYP) announces a second
series of results from the drilling done on the Fayolle property
owned 100% by Typhoon. The results focus on the FA-08-22 to
FA-08-26 holes drilled on the Mc Donald's showing area, located
approximately 450 meters (1,480 feet) east of the Fayolle Deposit,
which contained 188,000 ounces of inferred gold resources, at the
surface. (See attached map)
The FA-08-22 holes were drilled to verify the North-South
structure in the central section of the showing. They intersected
the structure and the Mc Donald gold-bearing zone near the surface
between 28.5 meters and 64.5 meters. Two of the showing's
mineralized zones were intersected with an average content of 1.18
g/t Au on 10.5 meters and 2.76 g/t Au on 12.5 meters.
The FA-08-23 holes were drilled north of the Mc Donald Showing
to verify the North-South structure in its north extension. The
structure mostly intersected massive komatiite and felsic dykes.
Some fault zones were intersected corresponding to the anticipated
structure. However, no significant values were obtained with these
drillings.
The FA-08-24 and FA-08-25 drill-holes were established in the
North area of the Mc Donald Showing to verify the extension of the
fuschitized komatiite onto the Fayolle Deposit. As anticipated, the
fuschitized and carbonatized horizons were intersected. In these
altered horizons many silver-bearing values were obtained ranging
from 1.0 g/t to more than 5.6 g/t.
The FA-08-26 drill-holes were completed to verify the
probability of a second North-South to NNE-SSW structure at more
than 100 meters west. These drillings confirm again the presence of
typical "Fayolle type" komatiite with some altered fuschite and
brown spar zones and many monzodiorite dykes. A few gold-bearing
values were obtained in these drillings but it clearly shows the
presence of gold because a value of more than 1.1 g/t gold on 1.0
meter was obtained at more than 250 meters below surface.
These results show the gold-bearing potential of the Fayolle
property along an ESW-WNW structure of more than 1.2km between the
Aiguebelle and Mc Donald Showing.
Several drilling analyses are currently in progress and will be
announced as soon as available.
