THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Aug. 31, 2016) – White Metal Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:WHM) (“White Metal” or the “Company) is pleased to announce that it has reached a verbal agreement in regards to a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with both Slate Falls and Cat Lake First Nations. The MOU ensures that White Metal and both First Nation communities will work together to build a positive working relationship in regards to the Dorothy-Dobie gold project and other potential future projects in the area. The MOU will also ensure that the communities will benefit from economic growth should any economic mineral resources be discovered and developed. The Company expects to formally sign the MOU in September.
The Company also announces that the first round of diamond drilling will commence in early September at the western end of the Dorothy-Dobie gold deposit. The Dobie Zone is considered to contain a historical resource of 50,000 ounces of gold contained in 301,000 tonnes grading 5.50 gpt Au. This resource estimate was calculated by Bond Gold Canada Inc. prior to CIM National Instrument 43-101 guidelines and as such should only be considered from a historical point of view and not relied upon until verified by a qualified person. The drilling program is designed to test the extension of previously completed diamond drill holes (DOB-09-12, -13, and -14) completed by Manicouagan Minerals Inc. in 2009 which were successful in extending the known gold zone an additional 180 metres along strike to the west, and identifying a potential bulk tonnage gold exploration target. Further, White Metal believes that there is potential for higher grade underground gold resources as the mineralized gold horizon was only tested to a depth of 100 metres.
White Metal Resources (TSX VENTURE:WHM) is a junior mineral exploration company exploring in Canada and currently has 30,451,073 common shares issued and outstanding.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of White Metal Resources Corp.
