About this update from Copper Road Resources Inc

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\nTORONTO, Nov. 17 /CNW/ - COGITORE Resources, a division of Woodruff\nCapital Management Inc. (the \"Company\") (WOO: TSX-V) is pleased to provide an\nupdate on the Lemoine project, located near Chibougamau, Quebec. The Company\nhas completed a drill program consisting of 9 holes totalling 6,531 metres.\nThe holes were widely spaced over a 14 km strike length of interpreted Lemoine\nmine stratigraphy. The highlight of the program was the discovery of a new\nmineralized zone in drill hole LEM-47 which intersected a 95 metre zone of\ndisseminated and stringer sulphides with partial assays returning 1.77% zinc\nand 0.18% copper over 9.0 meters, including 3.20% zinc and 0.31% copper over\n3.0 metres at a mean vertical depth of 300 metres. Another interval located \n10 metres below the upper zone returned 2.31% copper over 1.1 metres. The\nmineralized intervals have since been bracketed with more sampling. \"These\nresults represent a significant accumulation of base metal sulphides\" says\nWoodruff President GDerald Riverin, Ph.D., P.Geo., \"which occur within a \n95 metre long intersection of intensely altered (chlorite) high temperature\nrhyolites\". The altered and mineralized zone, which is typical of feeder zones\nunderlying volcanogenic massive sulphides, is a 'blind' discovery, meaning\nthere are no surface exposures, geophysical anomaly or shallow drill-hole\nintercepts to indicate the zone's presence at depth. The Company plans to\nundertake state-of the-art down-hole geophysical surveys in drill hole LEM-47\nsearching for greater concentrations of copper, zinc and precious metal\nbearing sulphides within 100-150 metres of the hole. Additional assays from\nthe 95 metre interval and other holes at Lemoine are pending.\nHole LEM-47 was drilled approximately three kilometres southwest of the\nLemoine Mine, which hosted 758,000 tonnes of 4.2% copper, 9.6% zinc 4.2g/t\ngold and 83.4 g/t silver. The other 8 holes of the program consisted of \n6 holes (including one deepening) spaced about 1 km apart and targeting the\nLemoine mine horizon from 4.6 km to 10 km east of the mine, and 2 holes\ndrilled respectively 1.1 km and 4 km west of the mine (with LEM-47 in\nbetween). A 250 metre envelope of stringer sulphides, including some zinc and\ncopper sulphides, was intersected in hole LEM-49 located 4.6 km east of the\nmine; as...
