[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n\nEarlier results have been upgraded with receipt of new metallic screened\n assays\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Sept. 26, 2012 /CNW/ - Grande Portage Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:\n GPG) (\"Grande Portage\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to announce new\n assay results from three additional diamond drill holes on the Deep\n Trench Vein and one from the Main Vein on its Herbert Glacier gold\n project located 30 km north of Juneau, Alaska.\n\n\nHole 311D intersected high grade mineralization in the Deep Trench vein\n consisting of 6.46 metres (3.42-metres true thickness) of 21.55 grams\n per tonne gold (0.629 ounces per ton) in a quartz vein showing visible\n flakes of gold. Another intercept 9.6 metres deeper in the same hole returned 2.32\n metres (1.23-metres true thickness) of 4.18 grams per tonne (gpt)\n gold.  Results from other 311 Platform holes include an intercept in\n 311C of 2.25 metres (1.98-metres true thickness) of 21.22 gpt gold. \n The strong gold mineralization seen in the 311 Platform holes is\n located in the shallower portion of the high grade zone intersected by\n some of the G Pad holes reported in earlier releases.\n\n\nBonanza results from hole 311A, reported in the previous release, have\n been upgraded by the receipt of new metallic screened assays.  The 8.08\n metre interval from 36.06m-44.14m  (5.66m true thickness) now shows\n 59.91 gpt (1.749 opt) which includes a 3.58m interval of 117.54 gpt\n (3.432 opt).  The best intercept within this zone is a 0.53 metre\n sample from 37.45m-37.98m which returned 365 gpt (10.658 opt) gold.\n\n\nThe first results of drilling this season on the Main Vein from the O\n Platform include an intercept of 3.12 metres (2.84-metres true\n thickness) showing 13.85 gpt gold.  Results from the other 10 holes\n from this platform are pending and visible gold was seen in several of\n these holes.\n\n\nThe Company's larger drill rig is now drilling the Goat Creek vein which\n is the northernmost of the three drill-tested parallel mesothermal\n veins that make up the Herbert Glacier project. All five holes drilled\n to date have intersected well-mineralized structures with the third\n hole having two intercepts showing flakes of visible gold. The deepest\n gold bearing zone is a 1.2 metre quartz vein with galena, arsenopyrite\n and particles of free gold thr...
