Vancouver, B.C. � Kaminak Gold Corporation (KAM: TSX-V) is pleased to announce new chip sample / trenching results from the Supremo gold-in-soil anomaly on the Company�s 100% owned Coffee property. Additional trench results from the Latte, Kona and Espresso gold-in-soil anomalies will be available in the coming weeks. Management has also approved plans for a minimum 5000m Phase One diamond drill program scheduled to begin in the spring / summer of 2010. This will be the first ever drill program on the Coffee property and can be funded through Kaminak�s existing treasury.
Supremo Trench Results
Results are presented here from follow-up cross-cut trenching that was completed near Trench #3 where a previous result of 2.3 g/t Au over 21m was obtained. This earlier result was from an east-west trending shallow trench. Two new north-south trending trenches 6m apart from one another were dug directly on top of the original east-west trench in hopes of expanding the known extent of the mineralization. Results include 11.72 g/t Au over 10m from one trench and 8.56 g/t Au over 15m from the other trench. Both of these high-grade results begin right next to the original trench and extend northerly.
The significance of these results is simplified on a sketch map available on the Company website at www.kaminak.com The true width or extent of this zone is not fully known partially due to the oxidized and rubbley nature of the trench material, but it appears to have a roughly east to northeast trend. This new data has identified high-grade gold in rock as well as successfully extending the known area of mineralization in the Trench #3 area.
A separate interval of 1.76 g/t Au over 25m was uncovered from Trench #2, approximately 100m from Trench #3. The relationship between these occurrences is being investigated; however, initial observations suggest they are separate geological targets possibly hosted by a series of stacked structurally-controlled zones.
These represent the final assays from the 2009 trenching program at the Supremo target. This program successfully identified several drill targets in addition to the results discussed in this release from Trenches #2 and #3. Other notable targets include Trench #6 (11.45 g/t Au over 5m), Trench #8 (1.37 g/t Au over 30m) and Trench #4 (0.53 g/t Au over 45m). Additional trench results are pending from the Latte, Espresso and Kona targets and will be released in the coming weeks. Phase One drilling in 2010 will focus on evaluating priority targets from across the property and will be designed to test shallow, near surface targets.
Anomalous gold values in the Supremo region are associated with heavily bleached and weathered rock comprised primarily of sericite and quartz. This host rock is heavily altered; however, a progression from fresh felsic gneiss can be observed within the trenches. There also seems to be a correlation between high gold values and several pathfinder elements, including arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb). Overall, gold values for 25 total samples reported here ranged from below detection level to a high of 13.79 g/t Au. Sampling consisted of continuous chip samples over 5m intervals of oxidized and weathered rubble sub-crop that is interpreted as being near in-place.
