Kenai Resources Ltd. ("Kenai") (TSX VENTURE:KAI) is pleased to provide the following update on the Sao Chico gold project in north central Brazil.
Drilling Update
The first three diamond drillholes (11-SC-001 to 003, to downhole depths of 86.2 meters, 80.5 meters and 111.9 meters respectively) have now been completed. In the third hole, a 300mm wide quartz vein with massive abundant pyrite was intersected at 92 meters downhole depth, flanked by smaller veins with massive observed pyrite and some galena. The third hole is located close to the western end of the Waldimiro Vein from which high grade underground sample assays were reported by Kenai on August 31st.
The drilling program commenced with one shift per day and has now been increased to two shifts per day. A second Minexplor rig is planned to be at the site by the second week of October, and is expected to be operating by approximately October 12th.
The drill holes are targeting vein structures near the Waldimiro Vein down dip, beneath the high grade eastern end of the existing underground drive. Assay results are expected from these first holes in November.
Settlement of Landowner Agreements
KAI has been instrumental in negotiating settlement of a landowner dispute on the Sao Chico project. On 23rd September the disputing parties entered into agreements that extinguish all litigation between them. Application has now been made with the authorities to have AP12836 transferred into the Gold Aura Brazils name, the company Kenai has an option over which will hold the Sao Chico project.
About Sao Chico
The project is more completely described in Kenai's NI 43-101 Technical Report on the project, details of which were contained in Kenai's news release of January 20, 2011. It has since been filed on SEDAR and on Kenai's website at www.kenairesources.com.
Sao Chico is located within the Tapajos region in Brazil, the site of one of the biggest gold rushes in recent history. In the late 1970's and 1980s, approximately 500,000 garimpeiros rushed to the region to exploit extensive areas of newly discovered alluvial gold, producing approximately 20-30 million ounces of gold before the easily won alluvial gold deposits were largely depleted. Despite the gold rush, little modern exploration has been conducted over the region to date, with excellent potential to expand gold operations at Sao Chico. The Sao Chico project team has extensive experience and expertise of operating within the region, which will provide a focussed and systematic effort to gold production and exploration at Sao Chico.
As previously advised, Gold Anomaly via a wholly owned subsidiary will receive all cash flow generated by GOAB at Sao Chico until Kenai exercises its options to acquire 50% and then 75% equity in the Sao Chico mineral rights to the Sao Chico project. The options expire at end-September 2012.
About Kenai Resources
Kenai is a Canadian company focused on precious mineral project exploration and development, towards early significant gold production. In addition to the Sao Chico gold project in Brazil, Kenai is also involved in exploration of the wholly-owned Quartz Mountain and Hope Butte epithermal gold projects in South-Eastern Oregon, both located in Malheur County, close to the Oregon border with Idaho. Kenai's current indicated and historical gold resources from the two Oregon projects are summarized as follows:
Ounces Project Tonnes Grade AuEq Status/Classification Quartz Indicated Resources Mountain 15,050,200 0.80 g/t Au 352,667 NI43-101 compliant Hope Historical, not Butte 5,000,000 0.91 g/t Au 146,300 NI 43-101 compliant Footnotes: 1. For Quartz Mountain, resources above a 0.34 g/t cutoff with silver converted to gold equivalent using a ratio of 49.5:1 silver to gold. Metallurgical recoveries were not considered. Indicated resources are as reported in an independent November 2006 NI 43-101 report, posted on SEDAR at that time. 2. The Hope Butte resources are considered historic in nature, do not comply with current NI 43-101 standards, have not been verified by the Company and therefore should not be relied upon. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the discovery of an economic mineral resource.
