Escape Gold drilling defines geological structure at Red Rock

Escape Gold Inc. successfully intercepted the mineralized structure as outlined by the Titan geophysical survey and validated its extensive re interpretation of the geological structural model hosting the bonanza gold/silver epithermal veins. The Red Rock low sulphidation epithermal system has seen in excess of 140 drill holes over a twenty year period without defining the structural controls over the bonanza mineralization.

The Discovery Zone is covered by approximately 125m of pediment gravels and required R/C drilling and casing through to bedrock. The R/C drill contractor has completed 18 pre-collar holes to date and will return once the core drilling have completed the first phase of a 10,000m drill program. The core drilling program has been hampered by technical difficulties and have only completed the first two holes of an anticipated 20 hole drill program.

Three holes, EGT-08-01, EGT-08-02, and EGT-08-03 are designed in a fan to test the continuity of the mineralized structure encountered in the historic Phelps Dodge drill holes RPR-89-014, (30m grading,16.79g/t Au and 51.63 g/t Ag) and RPC-90-907, (7.62m grading, 61.05 g/t Au and 157.69 g/t Ag) and confirm a newly interpreted geologic, structure trending North 30 degrees East.

EGT-08-01 was initially designed to test the orientation of the mineralized structure encountered in Hole RPR-89-014, and independently verify the high grade assays indicated by the Phelps Dodge drilling. The casing separated in the hole and the core driller was unable to start the hole. This hole will be re-cased and drilled later in the current drill program.

EGT-08-02 was drilled to undercut drill hole RPR-89-014 and test for continuity of the mineralized structure encountered in RPR-89-014. EGT-08-02 entered the structure at 195 m, approximately 30m below the bottom of drill hole RPR-89-014. EGT-08-02 intercepted 6.1m averaging 1.27 g/t Au and 65 g/t Ag. The mineralization was similar to the grades encountered in the lower portion of RPR-89-014 and Company geologist’s interpret this as the down dip continuation of the original Phelps Dodge Discovery hole.
