VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 6, 2008) - Adroit Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ADT)(FRANKFURT:A7V)(BERLIN:A7V) -
Management is pleased to announce that it has acquired, through staking, the Red Vein VMS Property, located within the southern part of the Abitibi greenstone belt in the Shining Tree area of northern Ontario.
Adroit Resources' 100% owned Red Vein VMS property covers a total area of 3,392 ha and totals 212 contiguous claim units. There are numerous historical copper showings on the property and gold showings abound in the surrounding area. The property is located approximately 10km south-east of the Tyranite Mine, (producer of over 30,000 ounces of gold; according to historic records at the Ministry of Northern Mines and Development). The property consists of metavolcanics and metasediments, comprised of an upper volcanic sequence consisting of mafic to intermediate to felsic flows and pyroclastics, with the lower sequence consisting of mainly mafic flows. These sequences are separated by several large northwest trending faults.
The area has long been an area of intense interest, located in the heart of the exploration triangle of the three large Ontario mining camps of Timmins, (80 km due North), Sudbury, (150 km due South), and Kirkland Lake (75 km Northeast). The Abitibi Greenstone Belt is one of the largest, best preserved, and most economically productive Archean greenstone belts in the world, in addition to hosting a major proportion of Canada's mineral resources.
Adroit Resources' initial exploration efforts for Red Vein are underway and are focused on the VMS potential of the property. Reconnaissance surveys including grab sampling of outcropping rocks and two phases of MMI soil sampling survey, aimed at looking for till-covered mineralized bodies, have already been completed over part of the property, and a third phase of MMI sampling is underway. Random surface rock grab sampling, (of 2 kg each), of five historical Copper showings (trenches) aligned along a discontinuously outcropping quartz vein returned local copper highs of respectively 1.8, 2.5, 2.6, 4.7 and 10.4 % Cu. Anomalous gold values (up to 0.13g/t) are also associated with these copper values. The vein trends east-west, varies in width between 0.8m and 5.0m and has been discontinuously recognized over a 2.3km length. The exploration program will also include prospecting, geological mapping, ground geophysics, and diamond drilling.
