[{"type":"text","content":"Maritime Resources Announces Work Program Begins at Whisker Hill Gold Project with Surface Trenching Sample Reporting 71.9 g/t Au, 251.0 g/t Ag, 1.48% Cu, 19.7% PbVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 12, 2017) - Maritime Resources Corp. (TSXV: MAE) (\"Maritime\") is pleased to announce it has started the work program at its newly acquired Whisker Project located in Newfoundland's Green Bay area Canada. Initial trenching at the \"Ben\" prospect has led to the initial discovery of a 50 metre long quartz vein with visible gold and base metal sulphides. The Company's VP of Exploration (Bernard Kahlert) collected 3 grab samples from an ongoing trenching program returning grades ranging from 89.7 g/t, 59.6 g/t and 71.9 g/t gold. The new vein system has now been exposed for over 250 metres and remains open in both directions. The base metal assays from the same samples returned up to 1.62 % Cu and 19.7% Pb. Full analytical analysis of the samples are listed in the table below.

This system is composed of at least 4 robust base metal rich veins with scattered visible gold within a strong wall rock alteration envelope. Crews are currently working on detailed mapping and channel sampling across the entire vein system. A detailed airborne topographical survey has also been completed to assist with planning for follow-up geophysics and potentially drilling and to assist in structural interpretation.Doug Fulcher, President and CEO of Maritime commented: \"We are pleased to have started the work program on the Whisker Hill gold project with a detailed mapping and initial trenching program. Trenching completed thus far has been successful in exposing a number of new veins over a strike extension of approximate 250 metres. The high-grade gold samples collected so far are similar to the original assays taken from last year. (see table below) The Whisker project sits approximately 10 km by road from the Hammerdown project and has demonstrated some of the same high-grade gold that we have encountered at Hammerdown and Orion. It will be our intention to continue exploration at the Whisk...
