Kilo Goldmines Ltd.: Gold Geochemistry Anomalies Delineated on Ngazi Licence, Somituri Project, DRC

18/02/2014 7:05am

Marketwired Canada


Kilo Goldmines Ltd. ("Kilo" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:KGL)(FRANKFURT:02K)
is pleased to announce results and interpretation of the detailed in-fill soil
geochemical survey on the northern portion of the Ngazi Exploitation Licence of
the Somituri Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Gold in soil anomalies
on the Ngazi Licence delineated by reconnaissance sampling were previously
announced (see press release dated August 13, 2012). 


SOMITURI PROJECT GEOLOGY 

The Ngazi licence of the Somituri project is within the Archaean Ngayu
Greenstone Belt. The licence is predominantly underlain with Upper Kabalian
metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks, including Banded Iron Formation ("BIF").
Granitic rock occurring within the western limits of the licence are considered
to be younger than the orthogneiss basement, and possibly also of the Ngayu
Greenstone Belt rocks. 


Gold mineralization on the Somituri Project is shear zone hosted and occurs
within all lithological units, however the thickest gold bearing zones
intersected to date are associated with sheared BIF. Within the shear zones the
gold mineralization typically has steep plunging 'high grade shoots.' Thus, it
follows that anomalous gold-in-soil geochemical expressions can be very
restricted, particularly in flat terrain where there is minimal lateral
dispersion of the soil. 


Gold values, from the Ngazi Licence, reconnaissance samples at a grid spacing of
400 metres by 100 metres illustrates a series of northeast trending zones in
excess of five kilometres long of elevated and anomalous gold-in-soil values as
illustrated on Figure 1; a contoured version of the data is illustrated in a
press release dated August 13, 2012. The majority of the elevated and anomalous
gold values occur in samples overlying, as well as near, the BIF contacts. Also,
anomalous and elevated gold values were obtained in close proximity to the
granitic and orthogneiss contact.  


In-fill soil sampling at a grid spacing of 80 metres by 40 metres on the
northern portion of the Ngazi Licence has delineated a four kilometre long
northeast trending semi-continuous gold-in-soil anomaly, considered to be a
shear zone, that occurs parallel to and in close proximity with the southeastern
contact of the BIF as illustrated with a blue line in Figure 2. In addition, a
cluster of anomalous gold-in-soil values overly the 'bend' (fold nose) in the
BIF as illustrated by a blue ellipsoid in Figure 2. In addition a number of
other delineated gold-in-soil anomalies are also illustrated on Figure 2. Gold
values in the Ngazi soil samples overlying the BIF are analogous to the gold
values obtained in soil samples overlying the Adumbi gold deposit on the Imbo
Licence of Kilo's Somituri Project.


Preliminary conclusions on this cluster of anomalous gold values overlying the
BIF is that it coincides with the intersection of a northwest - southeast
trending interpreted shear structure and the northeast trending four kilometre
long gold-in-soil anomaly associated with an interpreted shear zone. The
interpreted intersection area hosts a greater frequency of high gold-in-soil
values. Shear zone intersections, coupled with fold closures are ideal settings
for gold mineralization. Dilation zones associated with the shear zone
intersections provided the channel ways for the movement of mineralizing fluids.
This is a high priority exploration target that warrants detailed mapping,
pitting trenching and drilling. 


Alex van Hoeken, President and CEO of Kilo, today stated: 

"The delineation of gold geochemical anomalies, in several intersecting
orientations overlying BIF is very encouraging and further confirms the
exploration methodology of reconnaissance followed by infill soil sampling is an
effective approach. The gold-in-soil values are similar to those obtained over
the BIF that hosts the NI43-101 compliant inferred 1.36 million ounce Adumbi
gold deposit grading 2.2 g/t Au on the Imbo Licence. The detailed soil
geochemical survey on Ngazi has delineated a high priority exploration target
that warrants evaluation. Given the success of the in-fill sampling in the
northern portion of the Ngazi licence, the remaining gold-in-soil anomalies
delineated by the reconnaissance sampling require in-fill follow-up soil
geochemical sampling." 


SOIL SAMPLING PROCEDURES 

Sample collection: The soil samples were collected at a depth of approximately
30 centimetres in flat topographic areas and from an approximate 60 centimetre
depth on hill slopes. The reconnaissance scale sampling was carried out at 100
metre intervals on lines 400 metres apart. In-fill follow up sampling was
carried out at 40 metre intervals on lines 80 metres apart. Sample sites were
located by GPS and GPS coordinates were recorded for each site. Approximately 2
kilograms of material present at the depth sampled was collected and placed into
a plastic bag together with a pre-numbered sample tag and the bag was stapled
shut. 


Determination of anomalous gold values: Statistical analysis of the gold
geochemical values obtained was carried out to determine the anomalous gold
threshold value defined as the sample population mean plus two times the sample
population standard deviation, after applying a statistical high-cut, as
summarized in Table 1.

Note: (i) Excludes quality control samples. 

Quality control and analytical procedures: Sample preparation consisted
initially of sorting the samples into numerical sequential order, followed by
drying, crushing and pulverizing of the entire sample. Preparation of the
samples was carried out at the Kilo owned, ALS Minerals managed and operated
laboratory, at the Somituri Project exploration camp. Sample pulps were
couriered to ALS Minerals full service laboratory in Johannesburg, Gauteng,
South Africa from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Gold was determined on a 30
g charge by the Fire Assay with ICP finish method. In addition, multi-element
analysis was carried out by the ICP method but only on the 2012 samples. ALS
Minerals is accredited to international standards. 


Analytical quality control was monitored by Kilo with the insertion of
approximately 9% quality control samples consisting of duplicates as well as
commercial reference materials, blank and standards, in every batch of samples
submitted for analysis. 


ABOUT THE SOMITURI PROJECT 

The Somituri Project comprises eight Exploitation Licences, covering 606 km2,
valid until 2039, of the Archaean Ngayu Greenstone belt in the northeastern
Democratic Republic of Congo. 


According to historical records, which have not been verified by Kilo,
colonial-era gold mines on the Imbo Licence, namely Kitenge and Manzako produced
approximately 100 000 oz of gold to 1955, whilst the Adumbi/Bagbaie gold mines
produced approximately 200 000 oz of gold, from quartz vein ore that averaged 11
g/t gold, during the 1950s until its closure in 1959. 


Conclusions of an NI43-101 inferred resource estimate on the 2010 - 2013
drilling by Kilo of the Adumbi, Kitenge and Manzako deposits, calculated by
Roscoe Postle Associates Inc ("RPA"), is presented in Table 2. Further details
are available in a press release dated January 30, 2014.

The following notes apply to tables 1 and 2IM definitions were followed for
Mineral Resources.




1.  Mineral Resources were estimated at a cut-off grade of 0.9 g/t Au for
    Adumbi, constrained by a Whittle pit shell with a processing and G&A
    cost of US$30/t. A cut-off grade of 2.7 g/t Au was used for Kitenge and
    Manzako based on potential underground mining scenarios. 
2.  Mineral Resources were estimated using a long-term gold price of
    US$1,200 per ounce. 
3.  A minimum mining width of two metres horizontal was used. 
4.  A maximum of four metres internal waste was used. 
5.  Adumbi bulk densities of 1.8 for oxide, 2.2 for transition, and 3.0 for
    sulphide materials were used. 
6.  Kitenge and Manzako bulk densities of 1.7 for oxide, 2.2 for transition,
    and 2.7 for sulphide materials were used. 
7.  High gold assays were capped to 18.0 g/t Au for Adumbi, 50.0 g/t Au for
    Kitenge, and 50.0 g/t Au for Manzako prior to compositing at two metre
    intervals. 
8.  Estimated historical mining has been removed. 
9.  Numbers may not add due to rounding. 



ABOUT KILO 

Kilo is a Canadian gold exploration company, listed on the TSX Venture Exchange
under the symbol 'KGL' and on the Frankfurt Exchange under the symbol '02K'.
