Invenio Resources Corp.: Encouraging Results at the Candles Hills Gold Property

15/12/2011 5:23pm

Marketwired Canada


Invenio Resources Corp. ("Invenio" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:IVO) is
pleased to announce encouraging results from the first phase program at its
Candle Hills Gold Property ("Candle Hills" or the "Property") where Invenio has
the right to earn a 100% interest. The Property, located in southwest Alaska, is
part of the prolific Tintina Gold Belt, which hosts world-class deposits such as
Fort Knox, Pogo, Dublin Gulch and Donlin Creek. The Company is targeting large
tonnage, intrusive-related gold deposits on the Property and this year's work
has opened up approximately 6.5 kilometres of potential.


Results from soil sampling; the discovery of favorable host rocks; placer gold
grains observed in pan concentrates; among other geological discoveries combine
to define a north-east trending, 6.5 kilometer long anomalous corridor within
the Property. The corridor projects across highlands of the Candle Hills and is
aligned with placer gold deposits that were historically mined along the Candle
Creek valley. The corridor may be a source of these placer gold deposits and it
is believed that significant gold mineralization may occur within the un-eroded
corridor (go to www.invenioresources.com to view map). The next phase of work
will consist of additional soil sample grids to cover more of the Property,
further geological mapping and sampling followed by trenching.


As part of the work program, ten percent of the Property was covered by a 2.5
kilometre by 1.8 kilometre soil grid. Geochemical results from the area indicate
a 650 metre wide by 1900 metre long, northeast trending gold-in-soil anomaly
that occurs on the western-most portion of the grid and is open to the north,
west, and southwest. Coincident with the soil anomaly, rock samples are
anomalous in gold, arsenic, and copper.


The soil sampling targeted a contact area between the Candle Hills pluton
(biotite-quartz monzonite) which intruded into related but older porphyritic
andesite and into hornfelsed slate and sandstone of the Kuskokwim Group.
Northeast trending, porphyritic dikes (e.g. quartz-feldspar phyric rhyolite and
quartz-feldspar-biotite phyric dacite) have been observed in sub crop and as
rock fragments from soil sampling pits within the anomalous gold-in-soil trend
and indicate that a major through-going structure likely exists within the
anomalous area. 


In addition to the soil sampling approximately seven kilometers of trails were
cut to provide access to the farthest southwest regions of the Property.
Significant geological discoveries were made during the trail cutting and
include:




--  Pervasively altered, rusty andesite, approximately 180 metre by 300
    metre wide, was discovered near the northern claim boundary. The
    hydrothermally altered unit is obscured by vegetation in all directions
    and may project below unaltered andesite outcrops to the southwest.
    Three rock samples from the altered andesite produced anomalous copper
    values averaging approx. 320ppm copper. 

--  A sub crop of carbonate-altered biotite-quartz monzonite (termed the
    "Game Changer") was discovered approximately five kilometres to the
    southwest of the northern claim boundary. Three pits were dug to
    determine the extents of the intrusive and confirmed that the sub crop
    continues to the west for at least 160 metres and remains open to the
    west and north. Anomalous values of arsenic and copper were produced
    from samples taken from the discovery area.

--  Silicified and quartz-stockwork veined and manganese oxide brecciated
    hornfelsed slate/sandstone was discovered on a ridge approximately 6.5
    kilometres from the northeast claim boundary. Rock samples of the
    stockwork veined unit were taken from four sample pits that were dug
    along the discovery ridge for 170 metres and indicate that the
    occurrence is open to the west, south and east. The rock samples
    produced only weak gold values up to 31 ppb gold, but have anomalous
    arsenic and copper values. 

--  Two pan concentrate samples taken from separate creeks draining the
    southwest portions of the Candle Hills yielded grains of gold. No other
    information is known about the placer gold occurrences.



Collectively, these features show that: 1) the intrusive center extends five
kilometres to the southwest of previous known mapped distribution; 2) altered
andesite and basalt partially occurs as roof pendants to the intrusive rocks and
may cap and obscure hydrothermal fluids responsible for gold mineralization; 3)
the gold-in-soil anomaly may be controlled by a large-scale structure, as
indicated by the distribution and alignment of anomalous samples, intrusive
bodies and placer gold occurrences; 4) potentially significant mineralization
also occurs in the periphery of the volcano-plutonic complex; and 5) placer gold
occurs in multiple tributaries surrounding the Candle Hills. The collective
discoveries open up approximately 6.5km of strike length along the Candle Hills
corridor to potential intrusive-related gold deposits.


The Candle Hills Gold Property consists of 61 contiguous State of Alaska mining
claims totaling 9,760 acres and covers the southwest portion of the Candle Hills
and is located 15 kilometres southwest of the village of McGrath and 55
kilometres by road to Invenio's Ganes Creek Gold Project. Invenio has secured an
option to purchase a 100% undivided interest in the Candle Hills Gold Property. 


Analyses of the soil and rock samples were carried out by ALS Minerals Laboratories.
