[{"type":"text","content":"\nAltair Gold Drills 168 Metres of 0.77g/T Au at Kena\n\n(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nVancouver, BC - January 16, 2013: Altair Gold Inc. (TSX-V: AVX; \"the Company\") is pleased to release results of the 2012 drilling program at its Kena Property, located in southeastern British Columbia. The two phase diamond drilling program comprised 7,527 metres in 41 drill holes. Drilling focused on the Kena Gold Zone (KGZ), the Gold Mountain Zone (GMZ), the High Grade Corridor (HGC) and property scale targets. \n\n \n \nIn all, the 2012 drilling spanned a north-northwest length of 3.68 kilometres. Drill hole spacing ranged from 35 to 100 metres in and around the aforementioned zones and 250 metres and more in areas of little or no previous drilling. Drill hole plans, locations and other pertinent details will be available on the company's website at www.altairgold.com\n\n \n \nThe Kena Gold Zone was further drill tested in Phase 2 with nine drill holes. These were directed at the \"down-dip\" westerly projection of the zone as well as testing to the north and south of the zone.\n\n \n \nThe Gold Mountain Zone was tested by five additional holes directed to fill in information gaps within the zone. \n\n \n \nThe High Grade Corridor contains rock and drill core samples that historically returned extremely high gold values over widths of one or more metres (see Altair News Release dated December 11, 2012). Six drill holes tested the HGC in Phase 2.\n\n \n \nPhase 2 drilling was concluded by two holes located several hundred metres northwest of the Gold Mountain Zone. These holes were drilled to test geology as well as geochemical and geophysical anomalies identified during prior work programs.\n\n \n \nRESULTS\n\n \n \nPhase 1 drilling at the Kena Property comprised 19 holes at the KGZ and the GMZ and demonstrated strong continuity of gold mineralization within the two zones (See Altair News Release October 25, 2012).\n\n \n \nThe drill core samples taken from the 21-hole Phase 2 drilling have been analyzed and the results have been tabulated. The results of Phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling are summarized below.\n\n \n \nKena Gold Zone\n\n \n \nAltair previously released the results of the first 9 drill holes completed in Phase 1 at the Kena Gold Zone (NR dated October 25, 2012). Drilling returned long intercepts of significant gold mineralization...
