Blind Creek Reconnaissance Drilling Program Intersects Up To 11.3 g/t Gold and 226.0 g/t Silver near Atlin, BC

14/11/2011 12:30pm

Marketwired Canada


Blind Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BCK) ("the Company" or "Blind Creek")
reports that reconnaissance drilling at the Wann River Project in the Atlin
Mining Division of northern British Columbia intersected multiple gold and
silver veins grading up to 11.3 g/t gold and 226 g/t silver over 1 meter
intersections, 4 kilometres south of the past producing and historic Engineer
gold-silver mine.


The 17 hole, 3,325 metre reconnaissance drill program, occurred in a zone
containing seven newly re-discovered quartz vein systems within an 800 metre by
180 metre prospective corridor adjacent to Wann River. Drilling took place from
five separate drill pads (WR1 to WR5), set up over a 700 metre NW-SE trend.
Targets in the Company's extensive claim holdings will be for a bulk tonnage
gold-silver mesothermal quartz stockwork porphyry type system as well as a high
grade gold-silver epithermal quartz vein system.


J. Frank Callaghan, President and CEO states, "It is exciting to have hit
multiple occurrences of gold and silver mineralized quartz veins in these
initial reconnaissance drill holes."


Data from 13 drill holes has been received of which nine indicated mineralized
intersections. Data from three holes remain to be received; one hole
(WR05-01-11) was not analyzed. Holes drilled ranged from vertical to -50 dips;
drill directions were 30, 70, 210 or 250 degree azimuths.


Drilled rock intercepts include metamorphosed medium grained granodiorite,
metamorphosed fine grained diorite and metamorphosed diorite, as well as
un-metamorphosed fine to medium grained, slightly porphyritic quartz diorite.
Multiple quartz stock works sections are present as well as quartz vein
intersections up to 3 metres in length. True widths of the intercepts will be
determined after additional drill holes are completed.


On surface, seven quartz vein systems host analytical gold and silver, as well
as visible chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite in addition to more
rare molybdenite and arsenopyrite. Drill core indicates visible to trace amounts
of these minerals generally in one metre intercepts with sharp cut-offs.

Drill core processing included descriptive logging and sampling for geochemical
analyses. The NTW size drill core was diamond sawed in two halves at the
Company's rented facilities in Atlin, BC. After sample preparations were
completed, sample pulps were forwarded to Eco Tech Laboratory Ltd. in Kamloops,
B.C. for ICP 28 element analysis, geochemical gold analysis and fire assay when
returns are over 1000 ppb Gold. Analysis/Assays are made on requested 50 gram
sample.

The company began staking claims in 2004 around the historic Engineer mine and
in the historic Atlin placer gold camp in the Atlin mining division of north
western British Columbia. The two claim groups, now known as the Tagish Lake and
Atlin claim groups, have grown to a total of 139,081 hectares of mineral claims.
The Wann River project consists of mineral claims covering an area of 2,271
hectares within the Tagish Lake claim group; it is located approximately four
kilometres south of the historic Engineer mine. The project area is accessible
to sealed roads which lead to the Alaska Highway, including the White Pass Rail
route to Skagway, Alaska, via 80 kilometres on navigable Tagish Lake.
