Eastfield Resources Readies for Exploration near Barkerville BC

About this update from Eastfield Resources Ltd.

[{"type":"text","content":"Eastfield Resources Readies for Exploration near Barkerville BC(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nVancouver, BC, / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / August 28, 2014 / Eastfield Resources Ltd. (\"Eastfield\") (TSX-V: ETF) is pleased to report that fieldwork has commenced at three recently staked gold prospects approximately 20 km north of the historic gold mining towns of Wells and Barkerville, British Columbia. The recent downturn in mineral exploration caused a large area in this region to become open after being claimed by a number of parties for more than a decade. \n\n\n \nThe well known historical gold production from placer (~4 million ounce production) and lode (~1.2 million ounce production) gold deposits of the Wells/Barkerville area as well as the significant resource outlined at the Cow Mountain gold occurrence of Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. (Measured and Indicated: 1.04 million ounces gold and Inferred: 3.94 million ounces gold) attest to defining the significant scale of this gold district. The properties share characteristics with the deposits in Barkerville such as quartz-iron carbonate alteration, an association of gold with base metal sulphides and a possible relationship with altered gold-bearing felsic intrusions.\n\n \n \nExploration permits for each of the three properties have been received. The program includes induced polarization (IP) and magnetic surveying and mechanical test pitting. Soil grids, which do not require permitting, were established in July and analytical results are pending.\n\n \n \nBrief summaries of these new properties are as follows:\n\n \n \nHedge Hog Property:\n\n \n \nThe property was staked to cover three different targets.\n\n \n \nThe first target, called Lottie, has massive sulphide boulders of possible volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) origin with samples assaying up to 24.3% copper and 19.6 g/t gold. Five samples of chalcopyrite rich massive sulphide boulders collected by Hudson Bay Exploration and Development in 2000 average 7.91% copper, 8.87 g/t silver and trace gold (139 ppb), lead and zinc. \n\n \n \nThe second target, called Golden Sky was discovered by an Eastfield exploration crew in 2013 on a recently constructed logging road. A gossanous rhyolite cut by narrow quartz veins returned an analysis of 1.51 g/t gold along with 1.01% zinc and 0.48% lead and accessory arsenic and antimony.\n\n \n...
