Sacre-Coeur adds seven new target zones at Million Mountain

Sacre-Coeur Minerals, Ltd., a mining company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of properties for the potential mining of gold, metals and diamonds in South America, has identified at least seven new highly prospective targets for gold mineralisation in addition to Zone 1 on the Million Mountain Block located in Central Guyana, South America. The company conducted its drilling activities in and around the main pit at Zone 1.

The company claims that each of these new zones is characterised by a silica-rich intrusive body intruded into brittle greenstones. In each of the new target zones, the contact and outwash zones from the topographic highs which represent the more resistant intrusive bodies, are strongly anomalous in gold, both in soil geochemical samples and in stream sediment samples.

This depositional model, which is analogous to that of the Million Mountain Zone 1, upon which an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate is currently being prepared, has long been recognised as a likely trend extending for more than eight kilometres along the Company’s Million Mountain block of properties.

Intensive field work has now confirmed the existence of these additional intrusive bodies with attendant anomalous gold values. At least two of the identified new targets have surface expressions of anomalous gold that appear to be as much as 10 times larger in aerial extent than the Zone 1 intrusion drilled to date.

Irwin Olian, CEO, said discovery of these seven additional zones in the lower Puruni project area near Million Mountain is very exciting, as it greatly enhances the potential for a large regional gold project.

While the main pit has thus far proven to be somewhat limited in scope and grade, with the exception of several high-grade shoots, two of the new zones have very expansive surface expressions of anomalous gold and suggest the possibility for large bulk operations, he said.

Drilling is now underway on the first of these new targets and we are anxious to receive results shortly, concluded Mr. Olian.
