Driven Capital announces drilling results & updates at White River

    




 TSX Venture Exchange: DVV Frankfurt Stock Exchange: DV1 

 VANCOUVER, Sept. 10, 2012 /CNW/ - Driven Capital Corp.   ("Driven" or the "Company") is announcing the balance of its first-phase drilling results and  providing a corporate update regarding its 60% optioned White River  gold-copper-silver property ("White River") in the Yukon Territory,  Canada. 

 Balance of Drill Results 

 Holes WRDH-05 and WRDH-06 tested the property's Cool Zone, where surface  rock samples collected by property optionor Tarsis Resources Ltd.   returned up to 18.9 g/t gold and up to 391 g/t  silver. Tarsis trenches TR-MB11-03 and TR-CZ11-01 also returned samples  of up to 4.24 g/t gold and 595 g/t silver, respectively. WRDH-07 tested  the southern margin of the HG Zone. 

 Similar to initial results announced on August 16, 2012, core displayed  numerous multi-phase calcite-arsenopyrite-chalcopyrite-pyrite  mineralized veins, breccia zones and fault systems from 0.94 to 12.95  meters in thickness.  Despite well-developed structural preparation and  evidence of extensive hydrothermal activity, gold grades are relatively  low within the shallow depths drilled. 

 Hole WRDH-06 contains an average of 0.23 g/t gold over 7.67 m with some  missing intervals resulting in approximately 90% core recovery overall.  Near final depth, 0.94m of 2.32 g/t gold was intercepted. 

 Hole WRDH-07 intercepted 1.81m of 2.31 g/t gold; and again near final  depth, 1.04m of 1.39 g/t gold. 

 All mineralized intercepts are elevated in silver (up to 35 g/t),  arsenic (up to 10,000 ppm) and bismuth (up to 107 ppm), indicating a  consistent geochemical signature both in surface sampling and in drill  samples over an area in excess of one square kilometre. Assays were  carried out by ALS Canada Ltd., with sample preparation in Whitehorse  and analysis in North Vancouver, using 30g fire assay with AA finish. 

 Re-Analysis of Certain Core Samples 

 Given the disparity between the 2010/2011 surface exploration results &  recent surface sampling (below), the favourable geology displayed by  core and the drill assay results, a partial re-analysis for gold is  underway. 

 Five samples from four holes containing gold in massive sulphide have  been selected, which will be re-assayed by ALS using the original 30g  fire-assay with gravimetric finish technique, but with flux adjusted  for the higher sulphides. Furthermore, management has selected 35  samples from holes WRDH-2 and WRDH-3 (drilled in the HG Zone), the  coarse rejects of which were transferred last week from ALS Whitehorse  to Acme Labs Whitehorse for re-prep and re-analysis using 30g fire  assay with AA finish. 

 Verified & New High-Grade Gold Surface Samples 

 Driven collected two rock samples from trench TR-HG11-02 within the HG  Zone, where Tarsis previously reported a channel sample returning 82.2  g/t gold across 1.0 m; and a grab and an auger sample from the core  portion of the same exposure returning 214g/t and 129g/t gold,  respectively. Driven's two samples have returned 45.4 g/t gold and 85.8  g/t gold. Two rock samples collected from the spoil pile of trench  TR-L5 within the property's MS2 Zone, an area not tested by drilling  this year, returned 3.25 g/t gold and 18.9 g/t gold, plus highly  anomalous arsenic and bismuth. 

 Option Agreement Amended 

 The option agreement executed between Driven and Tarsis included a  first-year work commitment to drill not less than 1,500 metres at White  River. Tarsis formally waived this commitment on August 23, 2012.  Driven's first-phase program consisted of 1,327 metres of diamond  drilling in seven holes, ranging in depth from 126 to 210 metres. 

 Class 3 Permit Application Advanced  

 Driven is pleased to announce that the Yukon Environmental and  Socio-economic Assessment Board has issued a favourable decision  document pursuant to Tarsis' application for a Class 3 Permit at White  River. Such a permit, if and when issued, would significantly expand  the scope of mineral exploration activity on the property, including up  to 20,000 metres of drilling, 60 line-kilometres of IP surveying, and  the hand or mechanized excavation of 100 trenches totalling 10,000  cubic metres. 

 White River Outlook 

 Despite initial results, Driven management remains encouraged by White  River's geologic environment and intends to continue exploring the  property. The property's first-ever drill program and its resultant  data are under review in order to consider alternatives, which include  but are not limited to drilling the HG and Cool Zones at greater depth,  and testing other zones lower in elevation, such as the property's  southern MS2 Zone, which is strongly anomalous in both gold and arsenic  in soil, and proximate to a potentially large thrust fault host  structure. 

 "The disconnect between surface results and our initial drill results  has been perplexing, particularly given the geology seen thus far,"  stated CEO Toma Sojonky. "Nonetheless, the impressive size, robustness  and complexity of White River's mineralizing system are compelling us  to review this season's work and plan a second phase." 

 U. Peter Kurisoo, CPG, Chief Geologist and a Director of the Company, is  the Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101, who  has reviewed the technical information in this news release. 

 Driven Capital Corp. is deploying its accomplished technical and management team toward the  exploration of its portfolio of highly prospective precious metals  projects in the Yukon and British Columbia.
