Labrador Gold Corp. announced the results of its initial sampling program on the Ashuanipi project in western Labrador. The results show anomalous gold in lake sediments and soils over tens of kilometres along north-south and east-west trends. In addition, rock samples taken during the reconnaissance program returned values up to 2.1g/t gold. Results of the reconnaissance exploration program at the Ashuanipi project show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 15 kilometre long by 2 - 6 kilometre wide north-south trend and over a 14 kilometre long by 2 - 4 kilometre wide east-west trend. The anomalies appear to be broadly associated with magnetic highs and do not show any correlation with specific rock types on a regional scale. This suggests a possible structural control on the localization of the gold anomalies and interpretation is ongoing. A total of 753 lake sediment samples were collected, representing a sample density of more than one sample per square kilometre. Analyses of the lake sediment samples showed gold values from 0.1 to 202.5 parts per billion (ppb). A total of 4,798 soil samples were also taken and analyses ranged from 0.1 to 1,424 ppb (1.4 g/tonne) gold with 14 samples containing more than 100 ppb Au, and two samples containing more than 1 g/tonne Au. During the sampling program, cursory prospecting was also carried out and 39 rock samples collected. Gold values ranged from <5 ppb to 2.5 g/tonne, with eight samples containing greater than 100 ppb. Labrador Gold has staked an additional 172 claims on the Quebec side of the border that are contiguous with the northern Ashuanipi claims in Labrador. The new claims cover an area of 82 square kilometres of similar rock types and magnetic signatures as seen to the south and were staked to cover the potential extension of the north-south anomalous trend.
