Entourage Metals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: EMT) (the"Company") is pleased
to announce that the Phase 1 diamond drill program has commenced at
its Toothpick West project in the Hemlo Region of NW Ontario. This
first phase of drilling will be up to 5,000 meters based on
geological, geophysical, and geochemical targets.
Entourage Metals entered into an option agreement with Barrick
Gold to acquire 100% interest in the exploration of the Toothpick
West and Rous Lake properties located along the mineralized trend
of the Hemlo Gold Deposits.
The Hemlo Belt Properties are located in the Thunder Bay Mining
District in Northern Ontario, approximately 230 km east of Thunder
Bay. The property has excellent road access and infrastructure with
close proximity to rail, air and power.
Toothpick West
The historical drilling at Toothpick West has defined a westerly
plunge to the hanging wall contact of the Porphyry Zone (6.3 gpt Au
over 6.3 m). These plunge lines of mineralization are very similar
to what is seen in the Hemlo Deposits further east and along
trend.
Entourage will test mineralized plunge lines at depth and along
strike. This plunge of the mineralization eventually led to the
discovery of the Hemlo Deposit. Several areas of anomalous
mineralization exist that need to be tested.
Rous Lake
The 2011 Drill Program will also target the Rous Lake property,
the eastern edge of the property is 2.5 km west of Barrick's Hemlo
gold deposit. The Phase 1 program for Rous Lake will commence in
the third quarter of 2011.
Exploration targets will be identified at Rous Lake based on the
compilation of historical data, geochemistry, and geophysics.
The geological understanding of the belt and its mineralization
has improved in the decades since Hemlo was discovered in 1981. A
majority of these targets lie below 300 meters vertical depth;
limited historical exploration has been accomplished at these
depths.
Northern Arm Properties
Entourage will also conduct surface mapping and sampling to
refine drill targets on the Northern Arm Property. These properties
are located in an underexplored mineralized trend in the Hemlo
Greenstone Belt. The Geology at the Northern Arm Properties is
similar to Barrick's Hemlo Gold Mine, located approximately 15 km
to the south. The property is accessible by logging roads or lakes
which connect to paved roads.
The Hemlo Deposit has produced over 20.3 million ounces of gold
to date (MNDM OFR 6182 and 6246). Compared to other greenstone
belts this area has remained relatively untapped and underexplored.
Gold was first discovered in the Hemlo area in 1981, leading to a
staking rush and exploration work in the early 1980's. Current
producing mines include Barrick's David Bell, Golden Giant, and
Williams Mine defining a large continuous body of gold
mineralization now known as the Hemlo Gold Mines.
The 2011 exploration program for the Hemlo area properties are
under the supervision of John C. Florek, P.Geo, Vice-President
Exploration for Entourage Metals; who is a Qualified Person as
defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Florek prepared and approved the
