Kesselrun Resources' Bluffpoint Project Yields Widespread Gold in Trenching

THUNDER BAY, ON, Sept. 10, 2012 – Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (TSXV:KES) ("Kesselrun") is pleased to announce trench assay results from the ongoing  surface exploration at its flagship Bluffpoint project (“Bluffpoint”) in northwestern Ontario.

Highlights include:

  • 1.72 g/t Au over 20.2 m., including 2.74 g/t Au over 10.1 m.
  • 1.64 g/t Au over 9.8 m., including 2.35 g/t Au over 6.8 m.
  • 2.68 g/t Au over 7.6 m., including 6.20 g/t Au over 3.1 m.


The assay results have confirmed the presence of broad, disseminated gold mineralization, extending along strike on surface over 400 to 500 metres in length, 75 to 100 metres in width and open in all directions.  Kesselrun’s trenching program exposed larger areas previously covered within Homestake’s broad zone and confirmed continued gold grades. Contiguous sampling lengths are dictated by the exposure of the rock available to sample and not by the width of the zone.

The goal of the surface exploration program is to follow up and expand on previous work to better define drill targets for a forthcoming drilling program this fall. Previous work by Homestake Canada Ltd. (now Barrick Gold Corporation) recognized the potential for the Bluffpoint project to host a large- tonnage granite hosted gold deposit.

Michael Thompson, P. Geo., President and CEO of Kesselrun stated, “The trenching has enabled us to better understand the association between alteration, structure and gold mineralization as well as expanding the zone previously worked by Homestake. We continue to be excited by ongoing confirmation of such a large gold mineralizing system.”

Updated figures, including the trenching results, will be available on our website in the near future. Our corporate presentation is available on our website http://kesselrunresources.com/investors/presentations/

Kesselrun’s flagship Bluffpoint Project consists of 103 mining claims covering 22,576 hectares in Northwest Ontario's Wabigoon Subprovince, host to several recent gold discoveries such as Osisko's (TSX:OSK) Hammond Reef Project and Rainy River’s (TSX:RR) Rainy River Project. Accessible year round by a network of well-maintained logging roads, Bluffpoint offers low cost exploration in an emerging prolific gold district.
