ODYSSEY RESOURCES LTD ("YOD-V")
- Closes $600,000 Private Placement
Odyssey Resources Limited is pleased to announce the closing of the
non-brokered private placement, as announced on March 12, 2001. The
financing was fully subscribed. The securities issued pursuant to this
financing will be subject to a minimum four-month hold period and the
associated warrants will expire on April 4, 2002. The proceeds of this
financing will be used to advance the company's Lucky Star project in
Turkey, and for ongoing working capital.
Odyssey's Lucky Star property is situated in the Eastern Pontides; it
covers more than 34,000 acres (140 sq. km.), where polymetallic
mineralization is found in several locations within a shallow submarine
volcanic setting. Initial diamond drilling, carried out last year at the
main Lucky Star zone, intersected 19.65 meters (64.5 feet) grading 8.48%
zinc, 2.73% lead, and 84.6 grams per tonne silver. The Eastern Pontides is
host to 11 known volcanogenic massive sulfide, or "VMS" deposits,
accounting for over 100 million metric tonnes of polymetallic sulfides.
Additionally, Odyssey reports that it has recently completed a detailed
stream sediment geochemical survey across the entire Lucky Star property.
More than 420 stream sediment samples were collected across an area
approaching 200 square kilometers; the average sampling density was 2
samples per square kilometer. The area hosts a well-developed drainage
system and should provide an accurate and reliable method for delineating
new zones of base and/or precious metal mineralization. Survey results are
being analyzed and will be released once all of the data has been
thoroughly assessed and interpreted.
