[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - BTU METALS CORP. (“BTU” or the “Company”) (BTU-TSX:V) announces further encouraging assays in gold, silver and copper from the Galway Project, Ireland, resulting in two new drill target zones being defined. The BTU Exploration Team has received assay results of samples collected on the recent field trip to Galway. The samples were processed at the lab of ALS Loughrea, Co. Galway, Ireland and results confirmed high grade samples in two critical areas, Glenlusk and the Escarpment area to the East of Glenlusk. These results supplement the primary target area at Lee resulting in the Company’s second and third target areas for drilling in the 160 km2 Galway property. The Lee target has an exposed vein with historic grab samples from both bedrock and float range from 2.1g/t up to 66.4 g/t Au (this high grade sample with 247 g/t Ag and 0.85% Pb) and an interpreted multi-vein structure based on ground and air geophysics. Note: selected samples including grab and float samples are not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the property. See 15 Feb 2018 news release for more on the Lee target. “The success we are having at now generating both precious and base metal targets to date is giving us growing confidence in our planned upcoming drill program at Galway,” stated BTU CEO Paul Wood. “It is exciting to note that the Dalradian supergroup of rocks that is prevalent on our property is also the host of the numerous veins of the Curraghinalt deposit being worked by Dalradian Resources Inc. (DNA – TSXV) also in Ireland.” Glenlusk and Escarpment Assays Results: Collected Galway Project - February 3-4, 2018 - Selected Samples Sample Comment Au/ppm Ag/ppm Cu% Glenlusk 14970 Float sample 41.7 7.7 Nov '17 In situ grab sample (Aurum 2017) 4.1 Escarpment - Trench & Surrounding Area 14972 1 metre sample along historic channel cut in trench 12.9 39.7 4.07 14973 1 metre sample along historic channel cut in trench 7.09 51.8 4.85 14974 Grab sample 20 metres west of channel cut 26.1 6.7 0.19 14975 Grab sample 15 metres east of channel cut 0.42 0.7 0.08 Note: The 1 metre channel samples are contiguous north to south, perpendicular to the zone Glenlusk has...
