Tudor Gold Corp. Announces Another New Property Acquisition in Golden Triangle Area, British Columbia

TUDOR GOLD Corp. Announces Another New Property Acquisition in Golden Triangle Area, British Columbia

The Orion Property

The 3,154.5 hectare Orion property is located west of TUDOR GOLD Corp’s recently acquired Delta/Fairweather properties and immediately south of TUDOR GOLD Corp’s High North  property in the Skeena Mining division approximately 50 km north-northwest of Stewart, British Columbia. The Orion property has been subjected to intermittent prospecting  programs from 1995 to 2007 and a small diamond drill program in 2007. A float sample collected in 2006 on the Orion property returned 6.02 grams gold per tonne gold and 20.3 grams silver per tonne but its source could not be determined.

The eastern portion of the Orion property hosts the Cat-in-the-Hat showing where a 1994 trench returned 2.2 gram gold per tonne and 1.36% arsenic over 13 meters and grab  samples returned from 10 parts per billion (“ppb”) gold to 47.5 grams gold per tonne (BC Assessment Report 23885). A five hole diamond drill program targeting the Cat-in-the-Hat showing was completed in 2007. Holes OR2007-1 and 2 were drilled from the same site and returned significant mineralization (see table below), while three holes drilled approximately 100 meters to the east from the same drill pad failed to encounter any significant mineralization.
