New Mineralized Areas Identified At Duluth

 

TORONTO, ON - Duluth Metals Limited reported results from Phase 1 of the multi-phase exploration program currently underway on Duluth's 100% owned exploration properties in the Duluth Complex, northeast Minnesota.  In addition to the two new areas of mineralization press released by the Company on February 5, 2013, and referred to as Areas 1 and 2, the Phase 1 program has found significant mineralization in two other new areas referred to Areas 3 and 4: Area 3 - In the Northeast portion of the Nickel Lake Macrodike (NLM), drilling has found copper-nickel-PGE mineralization along the northern wall of the Macrodike; Area 4 - Along the eastern edge of the South Kawishiwi Intrusion (SKI), drilling has identified a planar structure with predominant copper mineralization in the Bogberry Lake area.

Furthermore, continued drilling in the Southwest portion of the NLM and previously reported as Area 2, continues to show mineralization along the north wall of the Macrodike.

The Phase 1 portion of the exploration program has consisted of geologic mapping, geochemistry, geophysics, and initial drill testing of targets on the properties which cover 8,850 acres of favorable geology adjacent to Duluth's Twin Metals Project. Phase 2 of the program will take advantage of the spring break-up to compile and interpret geological data and define future drill targets for the balance of 2013. Drilling will also target the deeper portions of the Nickel Lake Macrodike.

"The program has been successful identifying four areas of mineralization along the eastern edge of the SKI and the NLM that carry significant metal values and that demand additional work. This is a huge system, with the very large qualified Twin Metals Project resource identified in one area of the SKI, and the system has the potential to provide additional large areas of mineralization," said Dean Peterson , Senior Vice President-Exploration of Duluth Metals.
