how big is this????I just noticed this NR and since I`m familiar with Silica I bought in.This board is dead and the stock is lagging but this discovery may well be worth several times the current market cap!! BOWMORE Discovers High Purity Silica Zone on La Scie Property MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Jan. 16, 2014) - Bowmore Explorations Ltd. (the "Company" or "Bowmore") (TSX VENTURE:BOW)(FRANKFURT:OB5) is pleased to announce that it has discovered a broad zone of high purity silica averaging 99.4% SiO2 following the summer-fall 2013 regional rock sampling program on the La Scie Gold property, located on the eastern extremity of the Baie Verte peninsula in Newfoundland . The La Scie Gold project is a grass-roots gold exploration program, initiated in mid-2013, that is primarily targeting high grade gold showings initially reported in 2012. The high purity silica zone is part of an E-W trending, 2,500 metre-long silicified zone that was sampled for gold but returned very low to nil gold values. Bowmore 's chief geologist however observed that a portion of the silicified body was snow -white and showed potential for high purity silica, used notably in the production of silicon metal and ferrosilicon alloys. The zone as exposed on surface has a minimum length of 290 metres by 3.5 to 15 metres in apparent width. The table below summarizes the silica grade and impurities from 7 chip samples taken in five locations along the 270 metre strike length of the high purity zone: Sample Sample width* SiO2_% Al2O3_% CaO_% Fe2O3_% K2O_% Na2O_% TiO2_% LOI_%_ P949001 4.0 99.40 0.15 0.03 0.07 0.03 0.01 <0.01 0.07="" p949002="" 2.0="" 98.90="" 0.42="" 0.01="" 0.11="" 0.17="" 0.02="">0.01><0.01 0.09="" p949003="" 3.0="" 99.50="" 0.13="" 0.01="" 0.06="" 0.03="" 0.01="" 0.01="" 0.14="" p949004="" 5.0="" 99.40="" 0.13="">0.01><0.01 0.04="" 0.03="" 0.01="">0.01><0.01 0.10="" p949005="" 4.0="" 99.40="" 0.11="" 0.01="" 0.06="" 0.02="" 0.01="">0.01><0.01 0.04="" p949006="" 3.4="" 99.50="" 0.19="">0.01><0.01 0.08="" 0.05="" 0.01="">0.01><0.01 0.04="" p949007="" 5.0="" 99.60="" 0.13="" 0.01="" 0.11="" 0.04="" 0.01="">0.01><0.01 0.04 *samples were taken perpendicular to the strike of the zone, on apparent width. 0.04="" *samples="" were="" taken="" perpendicular="" to="" the="" strike="" of="" the="" zone,="" on="" apparent="" width.="">0.01 0.04 *samples were taken perpendicular to the strike of the zone, on apparent width. >
