(\"Blind Creek\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that an exploration program has commenced at the Company's 100% owned and fully-permitted Engineer Gold Mine Property, situated 32 kilometres southwest of Atlin, British Columbia.  The Company has commissioned Ms. Fionnuala Devine, M.Sc., P.Geo. to oversee a geological mapping, sampling and soil geochemical survey following up previous exploration results immediately south of the Engineer Mine (proper) and on the Wann River claims, 5 kilometres to the south.\n\n\n \n \n\n \nBC Gold-Silver-Arsenic-Antimony Soil Anomaly at Engineer Mine\n\nA previous soil geochemical survey at Engineer Gold Mine defined the \"BC\" anomaly, 500 metres east of the historic mine workings in an area that has only seen limited modern exploration.  The BC anomaly is elevated in gold and silver with an outer halo of elevated arsenic, antimony and molybdenum. All are elements associated with Engineer-style gold mineralization within the historic mine. (View Map)\n\nThe BC gold-silver anomaly represents the largest near-mine soil geochemical anomaly defined to date at Engineer Mine.  The BC anomaly is 300 m long by 250 m wide and is near the projected intersection of Shears \"A\" and \"B\", large second-order fault structures known to host significant gold mineralization in hydrothermal breccias within the mine workings.  Past drilling by BCGold Corp. and Erickson Gold Mining Corp. targeting bulk tonnage gold in Shear \"A\", 200 metres north of the BC anomaly returned gold grades averaging 0.44 g/t gold over 32.0 metres (Drill Hole BCGE08-05) and 0.38 g/t gold over 23.6 metres (Drill Hole DDH87-102), respectively.\n\nThe current soil sampling survey is designed to extend sampling coverage southward, in attempt to determine the overall size of the BC anomaly for subsequent...
