(TSXV: WHM) (\"White Metal\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has received the results of its 402 line-kilometre, fixed-wing, high-resolution aeromagnetic gradiometer and digital VLF-EM survey, recently completed over the Startrek Gold-Antimony Property (the \"Property\" or \"Startrek\"), located about 20 km east of Gander, Central Newfoundland. The geophysical survey utilized Terraquest Ltd.'s new Matrix Digital VLF-EM frequency system, coupled with their high resolution horizontal magnetic gradiometer, to map new and refine known geological structures (faults and shear zones) of which northeast-trending structures are known to host gold and antimony mineralization. The survey also defined several new structures, including a series of secondary east-west trending structures, and numerous bedrock conductors suggestive of semi-massive to massive sulphides. Together with historical data, this new information has provided the Company with new targets for ground truthing and follow-up exploration. Maps of the new geophysical survey and other features described herein can be viewed on the Company website.Michael Stares, President & CEO of White Metal, commented, \"I am very encouraged with the results of the Airborne VLF-EM and Magnetic survey and with this new data in hand, we have interpreted at least six structural trends that correlate well with known gold-antimony occurrences. A number of the structures identified by the VLF-EM survey have been traced for about six kilometers with some trends continuing into areas with very little outcrop. We are now planning the next phase of work to include additional soil sampling, trenching, and follow-up diamond drilling on high priority targets generated from this work.\"The Eastern Zone: extended an additional four kilometres, this now six kilometre zone correlates well with the VLF-EM (EM highs) and Magnetic survey. The Eastern zone was previously traced by ground geophysics intermittingly for two kilometres and is described as intensely silicified with tourmaline and chlorite alteration, abundant arsenic (As) and anomalous tungsten (W)...
