[{"type":"text","content":"Serengeti Reports Strong Copper-Gold Mineralization from Previously Un-sampled Drill Core at Croy-Bloom(via Thenewswire.ca)\n\n \nVancouver, B.C. / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / September 24, 2014 / Serengeti Resources Inc. (SIR: TSX-V; 34S: FSE) is pleased to report that sampling of previously un-assayed drill core from its 100% held Croy-Bloom property has returned strong copper-gold mineralization. In addition, surface sampling of a historic copper showing also located on the property and last worked on more than forty years ago has returned encouraging copper results.\n\n\n \nThe Croy Bloom property comprising 13,800Ha, is located 85km south of the former producing Kemess Cu-Au mine and lies within a few kilometers of the Omineca Mine Road and Kemess power line. The claims cover a remarkable number of untested or partially tested porphyry copper-gold targets, high grade Cu-Au veins and Au-Cu skarn occurrences.\n\n\n \nA limited field program conducted in August successfully re-located and demonstrated the potential of several historic occurrences, located on the southwestern part of the Croy-Bloom property, on trend of the Kliyul gold-copper system, located five kilometers to the north.\n\n\n \nDrill core from four holes, drilled on the Soup Ridge gold target in 1997 by other operators, was relocated on the property and found to be in good condition. Two of these holes encountered previously reported significant intercepts (0.41% Cu, 0.96 g/t Au over 27m and 0.27% Cu, 0.61 g/t Au over 47 m) in magnetite skarn, developed at the contact of Takla volcanics and underlying microdiorite. Historical sampling of these holes was limited and selective. Two short samples of previously un-assayed, yet mineralized core were collected during the current program; one of these returned 0.97% Cu and 3.1 g/t Au from garnetiferous microdiorite containing disseminated chalcopyrite, occurring 65 meters below one of the intercepts described above (click here to see Soup Ridge drill hole cross section). Serengeti's brief field visit did not include re-logging the core and the full extent of the newly identified copper-gold mineralization is therefore not known at this time. \n\n\n \nThe Soup target consists of two magnetite skarn horizons exposed along 1,100 meters of strike and one cross-cutting zone known as 'Saddle Gully Zone' which contain locally high gol...
