DRILLING COMMENCES MALARTIC WEST GOLD PROPERTY
Knick Exploration Inc. has started a 3,000-metre program of diamond drilling to test for Osisko-type gold mineralization on its Malartic West property located in Cadillac township, Que. This program includes testing selected induced-polarization and VLF-electromagnetic anomalies, and specific junction areas of structural features, outlined by a recent integrated land satellite image study. Forage G4 is the drill company performing the work.
The company's president comments: "We acquired the West Malartic property in June, 2009, and are already drilling in January, 2010, following the completion of line cutting, geophysics and field geology, as well as several in-house studies. This demonstrates the know-how and determination of the Knick team."
East-West property update
Thirty-eight holes (7,229 metres) were drilled in 2009 on the East-West property, located next to Wesdome's operating Kiena mine. The gold results for the 38 holes will be released when the final analyses have been received. Compilation work of the phase I exploration is continuing, and will be used to define targets in a phase II program of deep drilling and mechanical stripping.
