[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n"Marathon Completes 2008 Drilling Program on BCF JV Property,\nIntersecting 1.41g/t PGM and Au and 0.34% Cu Over 100m\n\n\nTORONTO, Sept. 4 /CNW/ - Marathon PGM Corporation ("Marathon" or "the\nCompany", MAR-TSX) announced today the latest drilling results from the\nBamoos-Claw Lake-Four Dams ("BCF") Property, which is being explored under an\noption and joint venture agreement with Benton Resources (TSX.v:BTC). The BCF\nproperty adjoins the northern margin of the Company's Marathon Project north\nof Marathon, Ontario.\n\n\nHighlights:\n\n- hole MB-08-42 intersected 100m grading 1.41g/t PGM and Au and 0.34% Cu\n- hole MB-08-33 intersected 92m grading 1.32g/t PGM and Au and 0.30% Cu\n- BCF drilling will be added to upcoming reserve estimate\n- delineating the northern margin of mineralization is important for\n mine planning purposes\n\n\nSignificant results from the BCF drilling include two intersections of\n92m and 100m intersection at grades slightly better than the average for the\nMain Zone. The first intersection in hole MB-08-33 consists of 92m grading\n0.30% Cu and 1.32g/t PGM and Au including 27m grading 0.54% Cu and 3.00g/t PGM\nand Au. The second intersection in hole MB-08-42 consists of 100m grading\n0.34% Cu and 1.41g/t PGM and Au including 16m grading 0.67% Cu and 3.01 g/t\nPGM and Au. This intersection is significant as it occurs 35m south along\nstrike of hole MB-08-10 which also contained 100m of mineralization.\n\n\nThe joint venture with Benton Resources has been of great importance to\nMarathon. The JV agreement allows for mining of the boundary pillar that would\notherwise be required by law to be left between Marathon's and Benton's\nproperties. Consequently, the resources to the north and south of this\nboundary will be added to the upcoming reserve estimates. Marathon has the\nright to mine ore up to 200m north of the BCF boundary prior to the JV being\ncompleted.\n\n\nThe Marathon resource has grown very quickly due to intersections of very\nthick zones of mineralization. A number of greater than 100m intersections\nwill be added to the existing resource, which will expand the resource\ntonnage.\n\n\n"Drilling and trenching has enabled us to sort out the complicated\ngeology on the JV property and confirm the continuation of the Main Zone by\nfirst tracing i...
