Stewart, BC – Decade Resources Ltd. reports additional drill results from the diamond drilling on the high grade gold bearing Montrose Zone at its Red Cliff project in Northwestern British Columbia. The Red Cliff is a gold/copper property consisting of 8 Crown granted mineral claims situated in the Skeena Mining division approximately 40 kilometres north of the town of Stewart. The property is operated under joint venture and is owned 60% by Decade Resources Ltd. and 40% by Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. At present, access is via drill roads off paved highway 37A.
Locally fine visible gold is associated with a stockwork of quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite stringers occurring along a 30 metre wide shear zone. Strong disseminated and fracture filled pyrite mineralization as well as galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite-visible gold form an envelope to the above stockwork mineralization.
A total of 26 drill holes tested the area south of the high grade values obtained in the 2009 drilling on the Montrose Zone which included DDH-2009-MON-6 which intersected 24.7 metres grading 20.87 g/t gold. Results for the first 2 holes in the 2010 drilling on the lower Montrose Zone in the Waterloo Crown Granted claim included 7.6 metres of 12.19 g/t gold in DDH-2010-MON-1 and 13.11 metres of 3.30 g/t gold in DDH-2010-MON-2 (See Company news releases dated September 14 and September 21, 2010).
