[{"type":"text","content":"White Metal Completes Second Exploration Programme at Gunners Cove Gold Property, NewfoundlandThunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 22, 2018) - White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV: WHM) (\"White Metal\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has completed a second work programme on the Gunners Cove Gold Project (the \"Property\") located on the Northern Peninsula near St Anthony, Newfoundland. The programme included follow-up prospecting, geological mapping and grab sampling in the previously identified East and West Gunner zones, the Mossberg Zone and the Cooey Zone. New prospecting and sampling was completed over the Northern and Southern areas of the Property and several new prospective zones were identified (see Map entitled Gunners Cove Prospecting 2018 on the Company's web site). The new zones are described as being hosted by or associated with a melange (large-scale brecciated sedimentary rocks) and, in some cases, mineralization has been traced across strike up to 1 km. Grab samples taken from two (2) of the new zones, Area A and Area D on the Gunners Cove Prospecting 2018 Map, are described by the prospecting team as having semi-massive to massive sulfides with pyrite and pyrrhotite, and trace chalcopyrite. Mineralization observed in the other new zones includes pyrite occurring as cubes, nodules and stingers. A total of 220 grab samples have been sent to Eastern Analytical laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland, for gold, base metal and multi-element analyses. The Company is very enthusiastic about the current programme and expects to have assay results within the next four (4) weeks.Gold was initially discovered in the Gunners Cove area in September 2017 (see news release dated September 25, 2017), and was followed up by initial sampling (see news release dated November 20, 2017) which outlined a large area (approximately 15 sq-km) of anomalous gold and other metals associated with pyrite-nodules and pyrite stringers, and hosted by black shale. This initial area of discovery and prospecting has been expanded by the recent programme.In Fall 2017, 133 surface grab samples were collected from the then known 10 mineralized zones on the Property. The distribution of the samples containing anomalous gold values define an area roughly 5 km x 3 km. Approximately 50% of the grab samples collected in the Gunner...
