Vancouver, B.C., September 15, 2010 - WPC Resources Inc. (TSXV:WPQ) (the "Company") is pleased to provide an exploration update on its Quest Lake Project in the Northwest Territories and its Wenban Springs Project in Nevada.
Quest Lake Project, Northwest Territories
The Company reports the following assay results from the summer field program on its Quest Lake Project located 85 kilometers east of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The field program consisted of prospecting and re-sampling of existing trenches. The most significant chip sampling results include 3.9 g/t gold over 7.5 meters includes 6.1 g/t gold over 4.5 meters. Grab samples were collected from several of the dumps from trenching and returned values of 46.2 g/t gold, 30.2 g/t gold and 13.75 g/t gold respectively.
The Quest Lake Project hosts a series of six prominent zones hosting quartz veins. The veins range in thickness from 0.1 meters to 0.5 meters and have been traced up to 150 meters in strike length. The Company is currently mobilizing a drill crew to undertake a 1,000 meter diamond drill program to test for gold mineralization at depth on three of the prominent quartz veins. Drilling is expected to commence by September 21, 2010.
Wenban Springs Project, Lander County, Nevada
The Company has just completed a reinterpretation of geophysical data for its Wenban Springs Project. The report has indicated there are two possible target areas on the property. Target area #1 lies in the middle of the property and the target depth is in the 500 plus meter range.
