Asia Properties Reports Encouraging Results for Neighboring Hammerdown Mine
05 Diciembre 2011 - 8:00AM
Asia Properties, Inc. (API) (OTCQB:ASPZ) announced today that its
neighbouring claim co-owned by TSX listed companies
Commander Resources Ltd. and its partner
Maritime Resources Corp. have received a positive
report from CAE Mining Corp. (formerly Datamine) identifying a
preliminary estimate of gold mineralization that remains at their
jointly held formerly producing Hammerdown mine located near
Springdale, Newfoundland.
According to their news release (Nov 4, 2011)
http://www.commanderresources.com/s/NewsReleases.asp?ReportID=489184&_Type=News-Releases&_Title=Commanders-Partner-Receives-Encouraging-Hammerdown-Report
"CAE prepared a theoretical model of the formerly producing
Hammerdown mine incorporating 626 surface and underground diamond
drill holes totaling 60,560 metres of drilling and containing 1,271
composite assays. A wireframe model was constructed of the original
veins using the drill data. Using historic mine records, the
mineralization contained in the mined out stopes was removed from
the conceptual mineralized deposit. A theoretical block model was
constructed of the remaining mineralization and various
grade-tonnage alternatives were derived.
"The range of potential mineralization remaining at Hammerdown
is estimated by CAE to range from 1,800,000 tonnes grading 8.3 g/t
Au at a possible 1.0 g/t Au cut off, to 675,000 tonnes grading 16.6
g/t Au using a possible 7.0 g/t Au cut off. This would result in a
possible mineralized deposit ranging from 360,000 to 480,000 ounces
of gold remaining at Hammerdown. The potential quantity and grade
is conceptual in nature and, in accordance with NI 43-101
guidelines, it is uncertain if further exploration will result in
the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
"The Hammerdown mine operated from 2000 to 2004, while gold
prices averaged $325/oz. During its operation a total of 315,000
tonnes of ore were extracted, at an average grade of 16.1 g/t Au,
yielding a total of 157,000 ounces of gold." API's Chief Executive
Officer, Daniel Mckinney said, "This is excellent news regarding
Commander Resources Hammerdown results and reinforces our research
that there is commercial gold mineralization potential on our
King's Point property which borders this mine."
King's Point:
API's geological consulting firm RDF has expressed confidence
that they will be able to report positive results by January, 2012
and have chosen several key areas to focus exploration efforts.
"RDF will be sampling the historic Rendall Jackman which should
produce good numbers, said Mckinney. The Randall Jackman mine
was last in production when gold was trading at $40/oz.
The Company also disclosed that it is now in final negotiations
with another company to sell its Banroy claim in Quebec in order to
focus on its King's Point property.
