[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Juggernaut Exploration Ltd. (TSXV:JUGR.V) (the “Company” or “Juggernaut”) is pleased to report initial channel and chip sample assay results containing polymetallic mineralization on its new Rockstar and Material Metal discoveries and its existing Babylon discovery located on the Empire property, 40 km northeast of Terrace British Columbia. A highlight of the 2017 Empire program was the discovery of the Rockstar zone (link to map). A channel cut in the Rockstar zone contained 4.17 grams per tonne gold equivalent over 6.02 metres including 1.53 grams per tonne gold, 1.38 % copper, 0.23 % zinc, and 0.13 % lead. This channel started and ended in mineralization due to the limited rock exposure from heavy snowfall. Thus, mineralization in this channel remains open. A 1 metre chip sample on Rockstar contained 33.99 grams per tonne gold equivalent including 21.7 grams per tonne gold, 0.94 % copper, 3.42 % zinc, and 11.55 % lead. Gold and copper mineralization was discovered in 100 % of the 25.77 metres of channel cuts made at Rockstar and in 92 % of the chip and outcrop grab samples. Extensive propylitic and potassic alteration along the Inca Trend is similar to that seen at Rockstar zone consistent with porphyry-style mineralization. Rockstar Highlights include: The presence of extensive bedrock polymetallic and gold mineralized samples over a 1 kilometre by 530 metres zone remains open, located on the southern extent of the 5.5 kilometre long Inca Trend (link to map). 100% of the 25.77 metres of channel samples contain gold and copper mineralization. 92% of chip and outcrop grab samples contain gold and polymetallic mineralization. Rockstar channel cut contained 4.17 grams per tonne gold equivalent over 6.02 metres including 1.53 grams per tonne gold, 1.38 % copper, 0.23 % zinc, and 0.13 % lead. The channel both started and ended in mineralization (link to image). 1 metre chip sample on Rockstar contained 33.99 grams per tonne gold equivalent including 21.7 grams per tonne gold, 0.94 % copper, 3.42 % zinc, and 11.55 % lead. Strong potential to expand the zone in all directions and to depth (link to map). 1.5 kilometres to a logging road and 33 kilometres to a high tension power line Drill ready.
