Paragon Intersects Massive Sulphides at South Tally Pond VMS Project Drilling intersects 5.05 metres of 7.49% zinc, 0.77% copper, 40.29 g/t silver and 1.21 g/t gold
|
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 18, 2007) - Paragon Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:PGR) is pleased to announce that it has intersected massive sulphide mineralization at the Lemarchant Prospect with grades of up to 7.49% zinc, 0.77% copper, 40.29 g/t silver and 1.21 g/t gold over 5.05 metres (true width), 130 metres down dip of historical drilling. The drill hole also intersected a new mineralized felsic sequence located beneath a fault structure and represents a new, highly prospective massive sulphide horizon that is open to depth and along strike.
The South Tally Pond property is located in the same volcanic belt and has strong similarities to the rocks that host the producing Duck Pond Mine (4.1 tonnes of 3.29% Cu, 5.68% Zn, 59.3g/t Ag and 0.86 g/t Au), located 15 kilometres to the northeast. Paragon has a significant, large land position covering 28,700 hectares immediately southwest of the Duck Pond Mine. The project is under option from Altius Resources Inc., whereby Paragon can earn a 100% interest in the property.
Drillhole LM07-13, the first of three drill holes to be completed as part of an initial 1,000-metre drill program, intersected the Upper Lemarchant Felsic Block (Upper Block) and the newly discovered Lower Lemarchant Felsic Block (Lower Block) (see attached diagram). The Upper and Lower Blocks are interpreted to be separated by a shallow, west dipping fault zone termed the Lemarchant Fault Zone. The Upper Block mineralization is characterized by stringer to semi-massive, to local (less than 1 metre) massive base metal sulphide intervals within the upper 10 metres of a broad 67 metres wide mineralized zone of disseminated to stringer pyrite and base metal sulphide mineralization. The Lower Block mineralization is characterized by disseminated, stringer to locally semi-massive pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization over a 109 metre interval. Assay results from the Lower Block are pending.
Drillhole LM 07-13 was completed to a depth of 599 metres and intersected two significant, mineralized sequences, the Upper and Lower Lemarchant Felsic Blocks. Results from the Upper Block mineralization are shown below.

In the Upper Felsic Block, we see a higher grade mineralization than previously intersected and this upper zone has excellent lateral potential. With the discovery of the Lower Felsic Block we are seeing the down dip continuity of the mineralized horizon which is open along strike and down-dip" said Mike Vande Guchte, President & CEO of Paragon Minerals Corporation.
The Company is currently completing a second drill hole located 100 metres to the north (along strike) of the initial LM07-13 drill hole.

Work on Paragon's base metal projects is supervised by Qualified Person David Copeland, M.Sc., P.Geo. Historical information contained herein was obtained from reports filed with the Government of Newfoundland & Labrador. Samples were analysed for Au (1 assay ton), Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn at Eastern analytical labs in Springdale, NL from sawn NQ-sized half core sections. Sample pulps were shipped to ALS Chemex in North Vancouver, BC for analysis for 27-element ICP analysis on all samples and check assays of significant base and precious metal bearing samples. Data quality is monitored through the insertion of control samples comprising one prepared base and precious metal standard and one blank sample for every 20 samples of natural diamond drill core. Check assays are currently pending for drill hole LM07-13 and will be reported in a subsequent news release. All control samples conformed to the accepted contained grades of base and precious metals.
