[{"type":"text","content":"Discovery at Pitman Project assayed 574.42 g/t (over 2 ft) and 268.86 g/t (over 3 ft) gold in Rock Samples at Golden Dragon veinsVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 16, 2018 / Casa Minerals Inc. (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the discovery of a network of polymetallic mineralized veins in the Golden Dragon prospect, which is part of its 100% owned Pitman property located 20 kilometers north of Terrace, British Columbia and 15 km northwest of the Company's Keaper property. The Golden Dragon prospect includes the historic Paddy-Mac gold veins.Golden Dragon:The Golden Dragon veining network was discovered by Casa's field crew that was prospecting and sampling in the area of the historic Paddy Mac and Gold Dome gold prospects. The system includes multi-level semi-parallel veins of apparent east-west attitude that have been traced intermittently over an approximate distance of 500 metres. Numerous occurrences are daylighted on the north facing slopes of the Nass Plateau and are overlaid to the west by talus material. Veins are inclined southerly at 55 to 65 degrees and are hosted by brecciated argillite cemented by stringers of quartz and irregularly distributed pods and veinlets of pyrite and chalcopyrite. Widths vary and in places are as much as three metres (10 feet). The new veins were discovered by Casa’s exploration team in August 2018 and have not been fully mapped and sampled.Recent initial rock samples from the Golden Dragon discovery area have returned analyses with very significant gold, silver and base metal values: Rock chip sample A0007218, from a 2 foot wide vein returned assays of 574.42 g/t gold and 109 g/t silver plus 0.1% copper, 1.56% lead and 0.23% zinc. Rock chip sample A0007221, from a 3 foot wide vein assayed 268.86 g/tonne gold and 127 g/tonne silver plus 0.2% copper, 2.95% lead and 0.04% zinc. Rock chip sample A0007219, from a 1 foot wide vein assayed 50.83 g/tonne gold, trace copper, 0.21% lead and 0.02 % zinc. Assays from additional sampling have not been received.In addition to the newly identified Golden Dragon veins, the area includes the historic Paddy Mac veins and two short adits that in the past have been explored by sampling. Selected Paddy Mac samples, both historic and by Casa, are included in the accompanying table and are shown in drawings.The following table includes analyses...
