Pacific Cascade Commences 2008 Diamond Drill Program on the Crack Moly Project to Test New 3D-IP Geophysics Data
Vancouver, British Columbia - Pacific Cascade Minerals Inc. has received the preliminary results of the recently completed 3D-IP geophysics program on 100% owned Crack Moly Project located 45 km west of Boston Bar and 35 km north-east of Harrison Lake in the New Westminster Mining District. The program consisted of 6.8 line km extending to the west of the previous IP survey which had shown a large chargeability high anomaly located at depth at the western boundary of the IP grid and which appeared to continue beyond the survey limits. The preliminary results of the 2008 survey show a significant high chargeability target which is consistent with the previous geophysics program that provided successful targets for the 2007 diamond drill program (see PCV News Release January 25, 2008).
A diamond drill rig has been mobilized and is currently drilling on the first target of the 2008 diamond drill program. Hole CM08-01 is located approximately 500 metres to the west of the 2007 drill program and will be drilled to a proposed depth of 600 metres to test the 2008 high chargeability target as well as extensions of the mineralized zones encountered in 2007.
About the Crack Moly Project
The 100% owned Crack Moly Property contains a group of eight (8) contiguous claims comprising of 3,338.3 hectares located in the New Westminster Mining Division of British Columbia. In 2005 surface geochemical sampling and a 3D Induced Polarization Geophysical Survey were completed on the property. The Crack Moly property displays high grade molybdenum showings on surface within hydrothermal breccias traced over 800 meters. In 2007 the Company conducted a nine (9) hole diamond drill program which resulted in significant intercepts. In addition the 2007 interpretation of the 3D IP survey indicated that a large resistivity/chargeability anomaly remained open to the west which has been further indicated by the 2008 3D IP survey.
