CMQ Announces Drilling Results on South Sleeper Project

    




 CALGARY, Aug. 30, 2012 /CNW/ - CMQ Resources Inc.  ("CMQ") is  pleased to report drill results for a six-hole core drilling program at  the South Sleeper (RO claims) epithermal gold exploration project in  Humboldt County, Nevada.  The project is being explored under an  "Exploration and Option to Enter Joint Venture Agreement" with Geologix  (US) Inc. 

 Montezuma Mines Inc. ("Montezuma"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CMQ,  completed a 5,294-foot (1,614-meter) drilling program designed to  continue testing three of seven prospect areas defined by anomalous  surface geochemical and geophysical characteristics. 

 All six holes were completed to target depth.  The Sleeper rhyolite was  drilled in two of the six holes.  The underlying Intermediate volcanic  rocks were drilled in all holes.  The rhyolite exhibits complex flow  and flow-dome  features.  Argillic and silicic alteration, as well as  pyrite-marcasite veinlets and disseminations, have been observed in the  rhyolite and Intermediate volcanic rocks.  The drilling results provide  additional evidence that the migration of hydrothermal fluids was  controlled by flat-lying breccia zones and high-angle fracture zones,  the same geologic features of exploration significance controlling   gold mineralization at the Sleeper Mine.  The data confirm that two of  the three anomalies drilled lie in an area of faulting that controls  hydrothermal alteration southward from Sleeper. 

 Significant drill intercepts, defined as mineralization grading 0.003 oz  Au/t (0.1 g Au/t) or 0.044 oz Ag/t (1.5 g Ag/t) or better over 5 feet  (1.5 meters) or longer, are presented in the table below.

 Drill holes MS12-01 and MS12-02 were drilled in the northwestern part of  the project.  Both holes were terminated in gravel at depths of 852.5  and 800 feet, respectively. 

 Thickening of the rhyolite and increased higher temperature alteration  has been observed in the drill holes.  Reflectance spectroscopic  analysis is now being completed on all holes and multi-element  geochemical analyses will assist in vectoring towards possible  ore-bearing areas in the next phase of drilling. 

 Ninety-two additional lode claims have been staked on the western and  southern boundaries of the property, of which forty-two are subject to  the terms of the Agreement with Geologix (US) Inc. 

 True thicknesses of the intercepts are not known.  All samples were  collected from diamond drill core sawn in half using a diamond saw.   Half the core was submitted and assayed by ALS Minerals of Sparks,  Nevada.  Gold results were determined using standard fire assay  techniques on a 30-gram sample pulp with an atomic absorption finish.   Trace elements, including silver, were assayed using an ME-ICP 41  method.  Montezuma QA/QC includes the insertion of standards and blanks  on a regular basis, check assays on select samples, and the collection  of duplicate samples. 

 Project Details 

 The South Sleeper (RO claims) project in Humboldt County, Nevada,  includes 60 unpatented lode mining claims (1.7 square miles/4.4 square  kilometers) lying 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) south of the Sleeper  Mine.  The targets are bonanza-grade epithermal veins,  marcasite-cemented breccias and volumes of stockwork veining.
