Attention Business Editors:
Canadian Arrow Reports 4.79 gm/t PGM from Kawene Lake Grab Samples
SUDBURY, ON, Nov. 20 /CNW/ - Canadian Arrow Mines, Ltd. (CRO: TSX-V) (the
"Company"), reports significant platinum group element (PGM) results from its
Eva Lake and Kawene Lake properties located in the Atikokan area of
northwestern Ontario. Results are from a recently completed prospect sampling
and mapping program. The exploration projects are in the vicinity of the
company's Kenbridge deposit, for which the company has just recently, (see
press release Nov. 15/07), announced the purchase of a headframe and hoisting
equipment.
Highlights of the surface sampling program include:
- 4.79 gm/t PGM, 2.07% Cu: Kawene Surface Grab
- 3.85 gm/t PGM, 0.52% Cu: Kawene Surface Grab
- 2.22 gm/t PGM, 0.41% Cu: Kawene Grab Trench 3
- 2.00 gm/t PGM 0.44% Ni, 0.59% Cu: Eva Lake Surface Grab
- 0.89 gm/t PGM 0.45% Ni, 0.39% Cu: Eva Lake Surface Grab
Kawene Lake Occurrence - The Kawene Lake Property is located 20 km east
of Atikokan, Ontario. Past exploration efforts included trenching, geophysical
surveys and limited Diamond drilling. Surface mapping and sampling by Arrow in
2007 delineated the Kawene intrusion along a 500 m strike extent with widths
up to 130 m. An airborne geophysical survey flown by the company in early 2007
identified a strong magnetic feature coincident with the Kawene intrusion and
two electromagnetic anomalies coincident with the magnetic trend. Drilling by
past operators did not identify the source for these conductors.
Eva Lake Occurrence - The Eva Lake Property is located 20 km east of
Atikokan Ontario. The showing consists of a 15 m wide pyroxenite body that
contains up to 10% disseminated pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. The pyroxenite
body is coincident with a strong magnetic feature extending for 1,300 metres.
Past exploration efforts included a single drill hole 30 m in length, which
intersected 0.20% Ni, 0.49% Cu, 0.31 gm/t Au+Pt+Pd over a core length of 29.5�
metres.
Todd Keast Vice President of Exploration, commented, "this first pass of
exploration on the Eva Lake and Kawene properties has returned exceptional
surface assay results. The results from the airborne geophysical survey,
completed early in 2007, indicate significant strike extent to the host
intrusions. Poor exposure in the area has led to limited exploration over
small sections of the properties in the past. The next phase of exploration
will include line cutting and ground geophysical surveys in order to more
fully delineate Diamond drilling targets. Eva Lake and Kawene, in addition to
our other exploration projects (Glatz, Apex and Nielsen Gauthier), are quality
exploration projects that will require ongoing evaluation in the upcoming
months. We intend to drill test several potential nickel-copper-pgm targets
which have been identified on these projects. Although the focus of the
company remains the advancement of the Kenbridge Nickel deposit towards
production, the discovery of additional resources on any one of these other
projects would certainly have a positive impact on Kenbridge."
