Golden Dory Completes Airborne EM at the Sterling Copper Project, Newfoundland -- Rock Sampling Returns Cobalt and Silver

Golden Dory Resources (TSX-V: FA) (a 100% owned subsidiary of 540
Capital Corp) is pleased to announce that a deep penetrating
airborne EM and magnetic survey has been completed on the 100%
owned 195 claim (2375 hectare) Sterling property near Springdale,
on the northeast coast of Newfoundland. The contract was awarded to
Aeroquest Incorporated of Mississauga, Ontario and consisted of a
helicopter borne Aerotem IV system with a depth penetration
capability of 400 meters. Final processed maps are expected in 6 to
8 weeks.
The Sterling property covers four significant zones of copper
rich massive sulphide mineralization, the Sterling, Lady Pond, Twin
Ponds and Sullivan, that were first discovered in the late 1880s
and from which small tonnages of hand cobbed ore were mined from
surface (< 500 tonnes*), specifically from the Sterling and Lady
Pond mines (historical data obtained from the Geological Survey of
Newfoundland). In the 1960s and early 1970s, Brinex explored in the
Sterling-Twin Pond-Lady Pond area including the drilling of 51
holes (9,545 m) on the Sterling and Twin Pond prospects which are
about 1 kilometer apart and less than 2 kilometers from navigable
tidewater. This drill program intersected stringers, and lenses of
massive sulphide hosted by chlorite schist returning drill
intercepts (historical drill results, not verified by Golden Dory)
highlighted as follows;
Sterling Zone
SP-68-1 5.50% Cu/4.42 meters (incl.13.8% Cu/1.40 meters) starting at 38
meters down the hole;
SP-68-6 1.70% Cu/13.72 meters (incl. 2.32% Cu/6.10 meters) starting at
108 meters down the hole;
Twin Ponds
SP-69-26 0.80% Cu/30.48 meters (incl. 3.10% Cu over 3.04 meters) starting
at 222 meters down the hole;
SP-69-39 0.50% Cu/29.56 meters (incl. 1.70% Cu/3.04 meters) starting at
405 meters down the hole.
(no assaying was reported for cobalt, silver or gold)
A 16 hole diamond-drill program also tested the Lady Pond area
returning drill intercepts ranging from 0.62% to 2.59% Cu* and
where drilling by Falconbridge Exploration returned 1.70% Cu over
8.02 meters* in 1953. Insufficient work has been carried out to
allow a resource calculation on any of the zones, but the Sterling
mineralization has been traced by drilling to 225 meters vertical
depth and remains open with alteration and mineralization widths
increasing at depth.
Surface grab sampling of representative massive sulphide
mineralization by Golden Dory personnel at Sterling and Lady Pond
has verified the presence of copper but also returned potentially
significant cobalt, silver and gold assays as follows (assays
performed at Eastern Analytical Ltd., Springdale,
Newfoundland);

The Sterling property lies within the Notre Dame Subzone of the
Dunnage Zone and is underlain by Cambro-Ordovician ophiolitic rocks
of the Lushs Bight Group. The group is host to approximately 100
volcanogenic sulphide occurrences including the adjacent and past
producing Little Bay, Whalesback and Little Deer** mines which
collectively produced* in excess of 6 million tonnes of ore grading
between 1% and 2% Cu, with minor by product gold. The most
important deposit of this type in northeastern Newfoundland was the
Tilt Cove deposit which produced in excess of 8 million tonnes*
grading 2.83% Cu with nearly 43,000 ounces of gold recovered (gold
was not recovered during the early years (1864-1917) when the
highest copper grades were mined).
The Sterling Property exhibits the potential to host economic
concentrations of copper mineralization as well as previously
unrecognized cobalt and silver. Given the amount of previous
exploration, including diamond drilling, Golden Dory plans to carry
out a deep penetrating airborne EM geophysical survey to test for
prospective massive sulphide targets deeper than 200 m (i.e. below
levels previously tested by drilling and ground geophysics).
