VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 1, 2012) - Brookemont Capital Inc. ("Brookemont" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BKT)(PINKSHEETS:BKTPF) has been informed by the operator that 4 holes have now been completed on the 2011/2012 drilling program. This drill program is focused on the 4.5 km arsenic gold geochem soil sampling/coincident IP anomaly, on its Tanzanian property adjacent to the north of Canaco's Magambazi Prospecting License. The first two holes have been rushed to the lab in Mwanza for grades and the results from these first holes are expected to be returned within 2-6 weeks.
According to Laurence Stephenson, the head geologist and Qualified Person for the Handeni North Gold Prospect, "first drill hole was completed on the high arsenic gold soil anomaly in amphibolite gneiss with visible arsenopyrite. The second hole was completed 400 m to the west on another gold arsenic gold soil anomaly adjacent to a quartz vein outcrop. Both holes encountered extensive mineralization over large intercepts. HNAF001 collared in amphibolite and encountered mineralization within the first 1.5 metres. Mineralization continued to approximately 130 m with additional mineralization being encountered around 180 m. The hole was ended at 250 m and it appears still in mineralization. The Amphibolite rock contains numerous quartz veins, and areas of biotite gneiss also have quartz vein. Both rock types exhibit strong silicification and sulphide mineralization (3% arsenopyrite, 4% pyrite, 1% pyrrhotite and 1% chalcopyrite and garnet). The core exhibits a complex structure of brecciated, sheared, fractured, foliated, folded and faulted deformed rock with alteration of silica, chlorite, sulphide and epidote."
"To encounter this type of mineralization on the initial drill holes of the drilling program is very encouraging," stated Mr. Stephenson. "Although we have to wait for the assays to confirm the mineral content, the association of arsenopyrite and the significant mineralization in the area is positive that it is found on BKT's ground."
