[{"type":"text","content":"Casa Deploys Exploration Team, Prepares for 2019 Drilling and Received Drilling Permit for Pitman ProjectVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / Aug 14, 2019 / Casa Minerals Inc. (TSX-V:CASA)(OTC:CASXF)(Frankfurt:0CM) (the “Company” or “Casa”) announces that it has received a Mines Act permit authorizing a program of work on its Pitman property near Terrace, B.C. The Company has mobilized exploration crew to prepare its Golden Dragon and Dragon Tale prospect areas for drilling. The Pitman comprises both historic and recently discovered significant gold mineralization zones that Casa has explored in recent years. In addition to technical surveys, 2019 work will include preparation of an access trail and drilling. Drilling will start when the access trail is completed and will be announced in a news release.The Golden Dragon includes numerous gold and silver bearing quartz veins in the historic Paddy Mac area that, following their discovery in 1944, were developed by surface sampling and short underground excavations. The veins occur in rusty argillaceous sedimentary rocks in the steep-walled valley of the Carpenter Creek glacier where recent melting of the ice has exposed large areas of previously inaccessible ground and revealed a number of new mineral zones. Historic gold-silver values reported at Paddy Mac include a 30 cm sample with 373.7 g/t gold and 253.7 g/t silver. The average of 21 chip rock samples with average width 36 cm was 19.54 g/t gold and 176.22 g/t silver. Casa’s sampling of Paddy Mac veins and nearby mineral occurrences has, as previously reported, generally confirmed the historic numbers.Caution: Although the above-quoted values are quoted in government databases, they are historic and were not prepared in compliance with current CIMM Standards. The above-quoted analytical values are from historic data and have not been independently verified by Casa and should not be relied upon to evaluate the Pitman Property.In 2018 Casa’s field workers sampled mineralization in and near the Paddy Mac adits and many mineral zones in areas that previously were inaccessible due to the presence of glacial ice or were too precipitous to allow safe access by ordinary methods. That work demonstrated metal values sufficiently strong to warrant further exploration and included a one metre chip sample ...
