Creston Intersects 125 Metres Averaging 0.072% Molybdenum
VANCOUVER, BC - Creston Moly Corp. reported assay results from fifteen exploration diamond drill holes recently completed at its El Creston molybdenum deposit located in the state of Sonora, Mexico.
"Drilling continues to expand the resource as the Company advances the El Creston molybdenum deposit towards production," said Bruce McLeod, President & CEO of Creston. "Results from the holes released today should positively impact the soon to be released revised resource estimate used in the Feasibility Study."
Drill Holes EC11-126, 135 to 139 were drilled to the northeast of Hole EC10-70 (222.65 metres averaging 0.074% molybdenum). All of the holes, with the exception of EC11-136 and 137 intersected significant widths of near surface, above cut-off grade molybdenum. Holes 136 and 137 delineated the zone to the north. Hole EC11-135, located in the extreme northeast intersected a near surface 125.05 metre section averaging 0.072% molybdenum including sections of 57.95 and 18.30 metres, averaging 0.092 and 0.083% molybdenum respectively. (There are no holes to the east of EC11-135).
Hole EC10-127 is located 160 metres to the southeast of Hole 135 and 80 metres east of Hole GT10-001 (33.55 metres averaging 0.045% molybdenum). This hole, located immediately adjacent to the eastern margin of the proposed open pit, intersected a near surface 63.70 metre section averaging 0.046% molybdenum which includes a 42.35 metre section averaging 0.054% molybdenum. Holes EC11-128 and 129 tested the southeast corner of the proposed open pit for its potential to host additional resources. Both holes returned no significant zones of mineralization. Holes EC11-130 and 131 were drilled to test the copper mineralization within the southern portion of the Main Zone. Hole EC 11-130, located 80 metres southwest of Hole EC07-13 (98.88 metres averaging 0.032% molybdenum, 0.20% copper and 2.98 gpt silver), intersected a 42.15 metre section averaging 0.017% molybdenum, 0.222% copper with 1.53gpt Ag. Hole EC11-131, located in the south west portion of the main deposit, approximately 55 metres northeast of Hole EC10-115 (18.3 metres averaging 0.412% Cu with 4.85gpt silver), intersected a 67.1 metre section averaging 0.019% molybdenum, 0.394% copper and 1.67 gpt silver. Within the intercept there is a 34.10 metre section averaging 0.021% molybdenum, 0.685% copper and 2.84 gpt silver. Holes EC11-132 to 134 tested the western limits of the Main Zone Deposit. Hole EC11-132 intersected at depth immediately below the oxidized zone a 15.25 metre section averaging 0.120% copper with 1.16 gpt silver. Hole EC11-133 was completely oxidized throughout its length with only low molybdenum values being recorded. Hole EC11-134 intersected a 30.50 metre section averaging 0.10% copper with low molybdenum values. Hole EC10-140 was drilled to test ground conditions at the proposed crusher site. The hole, located 120 metres south of the proposed open pit, intersected at depth a 61 metre section averaging 0.031% molybdenum which includes a 18.3 metre section averaging 0.036% molybdenum. A review of the data suggests that this zone corresponds with the projection of the top of the Red Hill Deep Zone as intersected in a series of holes located 580 metres to the west. Previous results from the Red Hill Deep Zone include a 207.75 metre section averaging 0.090% molybdenum commencing at a depth of 253.15 metres. Additional drilling will be required to evaluate the potential of the Red Hill Deep Zone to host significant resources.
