EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Dec. 6, 2010) - Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GZD) (FRANKFURT:G6H) ("Grizzly" or the "Company") is pleased to report that initial follow-up drilling at the Ket 28 Property and the Prince of Wales and Mabel Jenny Targets at the Copper Mountain Property, all within the Company's Greenwood Gold Project, has been completed. Drilling at the Greenwood Gold Project's Dayton Property gold-in-soil anomaly near the historic Mt. McKinney gold camp is in progress.
Brian Testo, President and CEO of Grizzly, states that "initial visual results of widespread alteration are promising. We look forward with great anticipation to lab results from the fall drilling program and the potential to expand the known gold zones at Ket 28 and Copper Mountain, as well as the potential to make a new discovery by testing the high priority gold-in-soil anomaly identified at the Dayton area."
Ket 28 Property
Drilling during late 2009 at Ket 28 Property yielded up to 11.9 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 2.0 metres (m) and 2.77 g/t gold over 11.0 m in separate drillholes associated with late stage brecciation, pyrite and quartz veins in mafic volcanics and sediments (see Grizzly's news release dated January 18, 2010).
Three follow-up holes totaling 693 m were recently drilled to test the depth and plunge extent of gold mineralization at the Ket 28 Property. All three follow up drillholes intersected sulphide mineralization spatially associated with zones of brecciation, quartz veins and alteration. The drill core has been sampled with the samples being shipped to ALS Laboratory Group in North Vancouver, BC for assaying.
Copper Mountain Property
Drilling during the summer of 2010 at the Prince of Wales target yielded a new gold discovery with an intersection of 1 g/t gold across 30 m core length in drillhole 10CM07. Gold mineralization is associated with a wide zone of pyrite and arsenopyrite in a siliceous biotite hornfels in hole 10CM07.
Three follow-up holes have been drilled at the Prince of Wales target along with two follow-up drillholes at the Mable Jenny North showing for a total of 760.5 m in five drillholes at the Copper Mountain Property. Extensive zones of sulphide-bearing siliceous biotite hornfels were intersected in all five follow-up holes drilled during the current program. Pyrite with minor arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite represent the main sulphides present. The most intense sulphide zones are often adjacent to syenite dykes. Follow-up drillhole 10CM09, which was drilled beneath the discovery hole (10CM07) at the Prince of Wales target, yielded an 8 m core interval of sulphide-bearing epidote-garnet-magnetite skarn along with several intervals of sulphide-bearing siliceous biotite hornfels. At the Mabel Jenny North target, several narrow (0.5 m to 1.5 m) intersections of near-massive sulphide (pyrite and pyrrhotite) were intersected in drillholes 10CM11 and 10CM12 within much wider zones of sulphide-bearing siliceous biotite hornfels. Core logging is complete and sampling of the five Copper Mountain drillholes should be completed by the end of the week.
Dayton Property
Soil sampling by crews from APEX Geoscience Ltd. during 2010 located a high priority gold-in-soil target that is 400 m long by 200 m wide with 50 samples that assay between 50 and 272 parts per billion (ppb) gold (see Grizzly's news release dated October 19, 2010).
The Company plans to complete 7 to 10 drillholes (800 to 1,000 m) at the Dayton Property. The Lone Peak Drilling Ltd. diamond drill has been moved to the Dayton Property target area in the vicinity of the historic Mt. McKinney gold camp. Drilling should be completed by mid-December with all core logged, sampled and shipped to ALS Laboratory Group in North Vancouver, BC, prior to Christmas. Preliminary assay results should be available early in the New Year.
