(TSXV: WHM) (\"White Metal\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that having recently completed a reconnaissance ground VLF-EM and magnetic survey, the Company has applied for a permit to complete a 402 line kilometre, fixed-wing, high resolution aeromagnetic gradiometer and digital VLF-EM survey over the Startrek Gold-Antimony Property (the \"Property\" or \"Startrek\"), located about 20 km east of Gander in Central Newfoundland. The proposed geophysical survey will utilize 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) which are recognized as hosting gold and antimony mineralization on the Property. This type of survey can also delineate bedrock conductors (i.e., semi-massive to massive sulphides) and may lead to new structural targets for ground truthing and follow-up exploration.Michael Stares, President & CEO of White Metal, commented, \"I am very pleased with the results of the ground orientation VLF-EM and magnetic survey as there had been no systematic geophysical surveys over the Property, apart from a couple of lines of magnetic survey by Sokoman Minerals a number of years ago. The ground VLF-EM performed very well and has shown itself to be an effective tool in delineating known gold-bearing structures associated with known gold occurrences, as well as giving us knew targets. It's important to note that this Property has very little outcrop, making prospecting and surface sampling near-impossible. Utilizing the very latest technology in the airborne digital VLF-EM system from Terraquest, we are confident that it will provide us with much needed additional subsurface information, leading to new exploration targets\".The decision to fly the airborne geophysical survey was made following the positive results from a recently completed Mag-VLF-EM reconnaissance ground survey over the Startrek. The ground survey was effective in delineating structures directly associated with known gold and/or antimony occurrences, providing addi...
