[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nLAKEWOOD, CO, June 4 /CNW/ - NewWest Gold Corporation (TSX:NWG)\n("NewWest") announced today that vertical core hole AK07-28C at its Abel Knoll\ndiscovery at the Sandman Project, returned a thick and nearly continuous\nsection of gold mineralization. The discovery also included several high-grade\ngold intercepts confirming the presence and continuity of similar high-grade\ngold mineralization encountered in nearby reverse circulation (RC) hole \nAK06-23.\n\n\nThe new drill hole results follow results recently released by NewWest\nfrom Abel Knoll on March 5, 2007. NewWest drilled AK07-28C to determine\nwhether intercepts in AK06-23 that occur below the water table were influenced\nby down-hole contamination and to verify high-grade values at the Abel Knoll\ndeposit. AK07-28C encountered 335 feet of continuous mineralization at a grade\nof 0.075 oz Au/ton and provided the confidence to include the results for\nAK06-23 which now show 335 feet of continuous mineralization from 285 to\n620 feet at a grade of 0.115 oz Au/ton.\n\n\n"This core hole has high-grade intervals included within an impressive\n335-foot continuous intercept," said Steve Alfers, President and Chief\nExecutive Officer. "In addition to verifying the grades and significantly\nextending the thickness of the gold mineralization previously reported in RC\nhole AK06-23, the results from this core hole demonstrate Abel Knoll's upside\npotential and allow us to proceed confidently with our 2007 exploration\nprogram at Sandman."\n\n\nThe cross-section shows good correlation between gold values in AK06-23\nand AK07-28C below the water table and above the 4,000-foot elevation, thus\nillustrating the continuity of mineralization between the two holes and the\nabsence of contamination in the RC hole. Below the 4,000-foot elevation, the\ndifferences between the two holes appear to be related, at least in part, due\nto the fact that AK07-28C was drilled out of the host rock and mineral system\nat a shallower depth than AK06-23. A diagram of the cross-section is available\non the Drill Results page of NewWest's website at www.newwestgold.com.\n\n\nIn addition to confirming the RC drill results for AK06-23, the AK07-28C\ncore hole provided valuable information about the nature of the host rock and\nthe geometry of the Abel Knoll mineral syst...
