CFI Extends the Strike Length to Over 725 Metres for its New Vein Discovery at the Grebes Nest Property; Including a Vein Int...

06/08/2013 1:44pm

Marketwired Canada


Canada Fluorspar Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CFI) ("CFI" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce the third set of assay results under the Company's Phase 3 diamond
drilling program from three drill holes on its Grebes Nest property. One of the
drill holes, GS-13-10, is in the same plane as previously reported drill holes
GS-13-07 and GS-13-09 and had an average grade of 65.49% CaF2 over 8.52 metres,
plus 0.60 metres of lost core. The other two drill holes, GS-13-14 and GS-13-15,
are located 100 metres and 200 metres, respectively, east along strike from
previously reported drill holes GS-13-07 and GS-13-09. The new vein structure is
situated approximately 4 km from the former Tarefare Mine and less than 6 km
from the former Blue Beach North Mine (see location map below). Both drill holes
are located on the western end of the Grebes Nest grid area. Ground geophysical
(magnetometer and EM) survey results indicate that the mineralized structure has
potential to extend for more than 4,000 metres along strike. 


Drill hole GS-13-10 was inclined at -45 degrees and oriented at azimuth 214
degrees. Drill hole GS-13-14 was inclined at -50 degrees and oriented at azimuth
034 degrees and drill hole GS-13-15 was inclined at -45 degrees and oriented at
azimuth 034 degrees.

Assay Results

Drill hole GS-13-10 tested the down-dip extension of the Grebes Nest Vein on the
same plane as the previously reported (press release dated July 11, 2013) drill
holes GS-13-07 and GS-13-09. This hole intersected a vein structure having an
average grade of 61.18% CaF2 over 9.12 metres, including 0.60 metres of lost
core. Excluding the lost core, the vein has an average grade of 65.49% CaF2 over
8.52 metres.


Drill hole GS-13-14 intersected two vein structures: the first vein had an
average grade of 41.62% CaF2 over 6.30 metres, with 1.35 metres of lost core.
Excluding the lost core the average grade increases to 53.00% CaF2 over 4.95
metres. The second vein intersection had an average grade of 32.81% CaF2 over
9.34 metres. 


Drill hole GS-13-15 intersected a vein structure with an average grade of 33.49%
CaF2 over 2.98 metres.

"These latest drill results confirming a strike length for the West Grebes Nest
vein of over 725 metres is extremely encouraging", stated Lindsay Gorrill,
President & CEO of Canada Fluorspar Inc. "We remain confident that further
drilling will extend the strike to 1.5 km as well as extend the vein down depth.
Remaining drill holes are targeted to further interpret the vein along strike
and down depth within the West Grebes Nest zone".


Geological Interpretation

CFI has received assay results for samples collected from drill holes GS-13-10,
GS-13-14 and GS-13-15 located along the western part of the Grebes Nest target
area. Two of the drill holes, GS-13-10 and GS-13-14, are spaced approximately
200 metres apart and hole GS-13-15 is spaced 100 metres east from hole GS-13-14
and extends the previously reported strike length of 425 metres out to a strike
length of approximately 725 metres of the total approximately 4,000-metre-long
Grebes Nest structure. These holes intersected the Grebes Nest Vein at depths
ranging from 40 metres to 125 metres vertically below surface. In addition,
recent surface trenching has exposed massive mineralized vein material that has
been interpreted to be the surface outcrop of the Grebes Nest Vein that was
intersected in drill hole GS-13-10.


The three drill holes intersected mineralization that has been interpreted to be
the Grebes Nest vein which trends northwest-southeast and is steeply dipping.
Drill hole GS-13-10, located in the same plane as previously reported holes,
GS-13-07 and GS-13-09, intersected the Grebes Nest vein structure at
approximately 50 metres vertically below surface. The intersection is midway
between surface and the drill hole GS-13-09 intersection reported previously in
a press release dated July 18, 2013.


Drill hole GS-13-14, located approximately 200 metres east of drill hole
GS-13-10 and 625 metres east of drill hole GS-13-08 (previously reported in a
press release dated July 11, 2013) intersected the Grebes Nest Vein structure
approximately 70 metres vertically below the surface. This drill hole also
tested two separate vein structures located 20 metres and 125 metres vertically
below surface.


Drill hole GS-13-15, located approximately 100 metres east of drill hole
GS-13-14 and 725 metres east of drill hole GS-13-08 (previously reported in a
press release dated July 11, 2013), intersected the Grebes Nest Vein structure
approximately 40 metres vertically below surface. Early drill results indicate
that the vein is pinching both along strike and down depth in this area.
However, holes to the east and west of GS-13-15 indicate that the pinch extends
over a short distance along strike. Further drilling in this area will aid in
the defining of the extent of the pinch zone.


Preliminary interpretation of the drill results indicates that the western part
of the target area of the mineralized Grebes Nest structure maintains a
relatively uniform width along strike and within a vertical depth of 100 to 125
metres below the surface. The drill intersections also indicate very competent
core and good continuity of mineralized material at depth. CFI notes that most
of the mineralized material is hosted by metasedimentary rocks (interbedded
siltstones and shales, whereas most of the mineralized material at the major
fluorspar veins in the general area - the historic Director, Tarefare, and Blue
Beach North Mines - are hosted by the St. Lawrence Granite ("SLG")). The
metasedimentary rocks in the St. Lawrence area are older than the SLG and early
geological mapping indicates that the Grebes Nest area is underlain by
interlayered pink rhyolite sills, similar in composition to the SLG, which
intruded the metasedimentary rocks. The structure that has been identified by
the drill program is a late phase event that cuts both the metasedimentary rocks
and the sills. The parallel veins, such as the veins identified in drill hole
GS-13-14 have been known to develop into significant mineable veins in other
locations in the St Lawrence area. The significance of parallel veins remains to
be evaluated.


The following table shows the detailed results of the second set of drill holes
completed by CFI on the Grebes Nest Vein noted in Phase 3 of the Company's 2013
exploration diamond drill program.

Assays on these drill holes were carried out at SGS Lakefield Laboratories
("SGS") of Lakefield, Ontario, using the Ion Selective Electrode method to
determine the fluorite content in the low-grade samples and the Dual Calcium
method for samples expected to contain high-grade values (i.e., those with
significant visible fluorspar in the drill core).


Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QA/QC")

Check assay work by CFI includes insertion of duplicate samples and blanks with
regular batches of mineralized samples of drill core. QA/QC work is also done at
SGS, and results are reviewed and verified by CFI personnel. An independent
geological consultant (Qualified Person) has submitted additional samples
collected from the drill core for analyses.


Phase 1 of the 2013 exploration program was designed to assess the northern
extension of the Director Vein structure. The six drill holes with assay results
to date have shown that the fluorspar mineralization at the Director Vein
extends further along strike and at depth from the old Aluminum Company of
Canada ("Alcan") workings. 


Phase 2 of the 2013 exploration program was designed to evaluate the southern
extension of the Director Vein. A trenching program and a geophysical survey
conducted in the area during 2012 identified the structure over a strike length
of 1,000 metres. The current drill program was planned to evaluate the mineral
potential, at depth, of the southern extension of Director Structure and to test
the north extension of the adjacent Hares Ears Vein to the west. 


Phase 3 of the 2013 exploration program was designed to evaluate the Grebes Nest
mineral property, namely the Grebes Nest vein which was identified in the 1940s.
The vein was exposed on the east side of Little Lawn Harbour where the structure
is approximately 1 metre wide and dips to the north at -70 degrees. Prospecting
in the late 1940s traced the structure, through a series of trenches, to the
southeast for a reported distance of 3.2 kilometers. In the late 1940s, a 20
metre deep exploration shaft was sunk on the vein about 500 metres east of the
coast. A drift was driven along the vein for 60 metres and a number of short
cross-cuts were developed. In 1949, five short drill holes were completed
approximately 1 km southeast of the shaft and to the south of the projected
strike of the structure. These drill holes identified a number of narrow veins
in the metasediments. Due to the remote location of the showing and the adequate
reserves at the operating mines owned by Alcan, no additional work was
undertaken.


Initial exploration information regarding the 2013 exploration program at
Director Vein was included in the Company's press releases dated January 16,
2013 and March 12, 2013.


To date, six Phase 1 drill holes have been completed together with 26 additional
drill holes in Phase 2 (19 holes in south extension Director Vein and seven
holes at Hares Ears Vein) and 24 drill holes in Phase 3 (Grebes Nest area) of
the 2013 exploration program. Assay results for remaining completed drill holes
in Phase 2 and Phase 3 are pending.


Historic exploration data indicates that there are more than 40 mineralized
veins within the CFI property. The three prominent vein structures, however, are
the Director Vein, Blue Beach North Vein, and the Tarefare Vein. Probable
Reserves of the Blue Beach North and Tarefare veins total approximately 5.4
million tonnes at an average grade of 39.8% CaF2. These Mineral Reserves have
been outlined to a vertical depth of 300 metres below the surface, but fluorspar
mineralization extends further at depth. The key assumptions, parameters and
methods used to estimate the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, as well as
other relevant information, including data verification, with respect to the
Blue Beach North and Tarefare veins can be found in a NI 43-101 Technical Report
prepared by the Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. dated March 6, 2013, which has
been filed by the Company on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
