Paragon Begins Drilling on the JBP Linear Project Second parallel gold trend outlined by geophysical survey
|
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 13, 2007) - Paragon Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:PGR) is pleased to announce that the Company has commenced a 1500-metre Diamond drill program on the Company's 100%-owned JBP Linear Project located near Gander, Newfoundland. The JBP Linear property represents an emerging gold belt in central Newfoundland with previous drill intercepts of 11.70 g/t gold over 3.40 metres (HP-04-03); 8.73 g/t gold over 2.10 metres (HP-04-04); 9.79 g/t gold over 1.15 metres (HP-05-15) and 1.02 g/t gold over 44.45 metres (HP-04-01) and quartz float surface samples of up to 768 g/t gold.
Exploration work completed to date on the JBP Linear property has clearly established the association of gold mineralization at the H-Pond Prospect with a distinct Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical signature. Results from a previous IP orientation survey indicate that subtle IP chargeability highs can be very effective in locating gold mineralization within distinct IP resistivity lows, the latter marking the surrounding carbonate-sericite alteration to the mineralization.
In July, the Company completed an IP survey to better define drill targets in the area between the H-Pond and Pocket Ponds Prospects (located three kilometres apart). Results of the survey indicate a favorable IP geophysical trend between the two gold prospects and a new parallel trend, the West Pocket Pond Linear, located approximately 500 metres to the west of the H-Pond Linear trend. Prospecting along the West Pocket Pond Linear trend has returned quartz float grab samples of up to 252 g/t gold. The proposed drill program is targeting the highest priority targets along these two trends.
