[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nVANCOUVER, June 18, 2014 /CNW/ - Gold Reach Resources Ltd. (GRV: TSX-V) (Gold Reach and/or the Company) is pleased to announce a 7,500 metre drilling program will commence on June 23 at the company's 100% owned Ootsa Property, located adjacent to the producing Huckleberry Mine south of Smithers, British Columbia.\n\nPROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS \n\n\nUp to 7,500 Metres of Core Drilling – Drilling will start on the West Seel deposit with one drill rig and will focus on expanding known zones of higher grade mineralization and defining the extents of the large West Seel deposit. \nPorphyry Targets and High Grade Silver Veins to be Tested – A second highly portable track mounted drill will be added to the project in July to test numerous targets outside of the known resource areas, including both large porphyry targets and high grade silver base metal vein targets. \nOngoing Surface Exploration – A surface exploration program consisting of soil sampling, induced polarization geophysics, mapping and prospecting, will continue on the property to advance known targets to the drill stage and continue to generate new targets.\n2014 Exploration ProgramThe focus for 2014 will be to optimize the economic potential of the project and test all of the main exploration targets surrounding the known resources ahead of a potential preliminary economic assessment.   Field crews will be mobilized to the Ootsa camp on June 23 and drilling will commence shortly after.  The 2014 exploration program will include a minimum of 7,500 metres of core drilling, an induced polarization geophysical survey, a substantial surface exploration program, and various engineering, metallurgical, and environmental test work.\n\nDrilling will initially start on the West Seel deposit and will focus on two objectives: 1) testing the depth extent of known higher grade trends defined during previous drill programs, and 2) delineating the extent of the deposit which still remains open to the north and south.  The north side of the West Seel deposit contains mineralization that starts close to surface and there is good potential to add significant near surface tonnage in this area.\n\nA second highly portable track mounted drill will be added to the project in July once numerous surface targets have been better defined and drill access estab...
