11-36 - Phase 2 Drilling and Exploration Program Started at Gama
Prospect in Ecuador
=======================================================================
Mount Pearl, NL, Canada: Cornerstone Capital Resources Inc.
("Cornerstone") (TSXV-CGP) (F-GWN) (B-GWN) (OTC-CTNXF) and Intrepid
Mines Limited ("Intrepid") (ASX-IAU) (TSX-IAU) today announced that a
Phase 2 diamond drilling program and additional ground exploration
surveys have commenced at the Gama prospect in southern Ecuador. Two
600 metre long (minimum) diamond drill holes will test copper-gold
porphyry targets at depth near previous intersections in Phase 1 holes
GAD 11-002 (101 metres at 0.41 g/t Au and 0.13% Cu, including 45 metres
grading 0.71 g/t Au and 0.18% Cu) and GAD 11-011 (26 metres grading
0.45 g/t Au). See Cornerstone news releases dated May 31 and August 11,
2011 for details. Additional soil sampling (2,500+ samples),
prospecting and a detailed ground magnetic survey (approximately 500
line km) will also be carried out to help define new drill targets.
Intrepid has approved a budget of US$1.8 million for these exploration
programs.
Phase 2 Drilling Program
Geological and geochemical data from Phase 1 drilling (holes GAD 11-001
to -011) have been reviewed and the mineralization model
re-interpreted. The drilling defined a large (minimum 3 km north-south)
high-sulphidation epithermal alteration system superimposed on deeper
porphyry style alteration and mineralization. The distribution of base
metal minerals and geochemical values, alteration patterns and
structures suggest that molybdenum, copper and some gold may have been
remobilized from a deeper mineralized tonalitic porphyry source. A map
showing the location of targets and drill holes with respect to
gold-in-soil anomalies and interpreted faults is provided here:
http://www.cornerstoneresources.com/i/pdf/NR11-36Figure1.pdf.
Hole GAD 11-012 is located approximately 500 metres northwest of hole
GAD 11-010 and 500 metres southwest of hole GAD 11-011, on the northern
edge of target B. Ground geophysical surveys at target B have outlined
a 2-km circular feature characterized by a magnetic low, interpreted to
represent magnetite destruction associated with hydrothermal
alteration, and a 2nd priority induced polarization (IP) chargeability
anomaly. Holes GAD 11-010 and -011 intersected remobilized molybdenite
along high-sulphidation epithermal feeder structures, as well as clasts
of stockwork-veined mineralized tonalite porphyry within brecciated
faults and structures. Sheeted porphyry "B" veins overprint the clasts
and matrix in the breccias with molybdenite in-situ in the "B" veins.
Hole GAD 11-012 is targeting the interpreted mineralized tonalitic
porphyry at depth.
Proposed hole GAD 11-013 will be located in the northern part of target
F, approximately 200 metres north of hole GAD 11-002 and close to the
intersection of a northwest striking and two east-west oriented
structures defined by ground magnetic data. Gold and copper
mineralization in hole -002 is associated with porphyry stockwork
transitional type "A-B" dominant veins. The high levels of remobilized
molybdenite and the presence of gold suggest a possible mineralized
tonalitic porphyry source at depth, which hole GAD 11-013 will be
targeting.
"We are pleased that Intrepid has approved a Phase 2 program at Gama",
said Brooke Macdonald, Cornerstone's President. "Information gathered
from Phase 1 drilling will allow us to test the new porphyry targets at
depth and to develop new drilling targets for both epithermal and
porphyry styles of mineralization at Gama. Environmental permits
required for drilling the Vetas Grandes and Ca�aribamba prospects on
the southern portion of the Shyri property are now expected to be
received near the end of the first half of 2012. We had expected to
receive these permits by the end of the first quarter, but community
consultations are taking longer than anticipated."
Gama Prospect
The Gama prospect is one of four recognized thus far on the Shyri
property, and comprises an extensive zone of high sulphidation (HS)
epithermal alteration measuring a minimum of 8.5 km by 3 km. The
alteration is strongly zoned and centered over two high level,
porphyry-type intrusions at the 3,500 m to 3,800 m elevations. Gama is
located 15 km to the west of Iamgold's Quimsacocha HS epithermal gold
deposit.
Qualified Person
Yvan Crepeau, M.Ba., P.Geo, President of Cornerstone Ecuador SA and a
qualified person in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, is
responsible for supervising the Gama drilling program and has reviewed
and approved the technical information contained in this news release.
Shyri Option Agreement
Intrepid Mines Limited ("Intrepid") is earning a 60% interest in the
Shyri gold-silver-copper property under an option agreement signed with
Cornerstone in January 2011. Under the terms of the Agreement, Intrepid
has the ability to earn an initial 60% interest in the property by
spending $US 6.0 million dollars over 5 years. Intrepid may earn an
additional 20% in specific project areas up to 5,000 hectares each.
Upon designation of a Project Area, Intrepid will make a $US 750,000
private placement in Cornerstone. To earn the additional interest,
Intrepid will complete a bankable feasibility study or incur
expenditures of $US 20 million, whichever comes first, and make a cash
payment to Cornerstone of up to $US 5.0 million based on the gold
equivalent ounces in the mineral reserve. There is no limit to the
number of Project Areas Intrepid may designate within the property and
each 'stand-alone' Project Area requires the same earn-in requirements
(see news release dated Oct 29, 2009). Cornerstone is the project
operator, and manages the exploration programs in close consultation
and planning with Intrepid.
