VANCOUVER, Aug. 13 /CNW/ - Pacific Cascade Minerals Inc. (the "Company") advises that the mobilization and construction of the exploration camp on its "Crack Moly" Molybdenum prospect is complete and diamond drilling has begun on its 2,000 meter "Phase 1" drill program. This "Phase 1" drill program will consist of a minimum of 8 holes to test this open ended geophysical anomaly that is approximately 800 metres in diameter and continues to a minimum depth of 300 metres below surface which was the depth limit of the I.P. survey. This first drill hole CM-07-01, is planned to be drilled to a depth of 350 metres, and is targeting both the geophysical anomaly and the breccia complex as mapped on surface where previous surface sampling returned anomalous grades of Molybdenum in rosettes, disseminations and fracture controlled veinlets.
Mr. Robert Krause, B.Sc., Geologist (Director) has been advised by senior on-site geologist, Mr. Mike Miller, that the drill was collared atop the first breccia target and drilling has commenced. The Phase 1 and 2 drill programs provide for a minimum of two thousand (2000) and four thousand (4000) meters of drilling respectively on the property which comprises 8 contiguous staked mineral claims totaling approximately 3300 hectares.
Company management is excited about this initial drill program as this property was previously unexplored due to glacial coverage which has recently receded.
Mr. Wesley Raven P.Geo., is the qualified person for this project and has reviewed and verified the contents of this news release.
