La Quinta Finds 10 g/t Gold at Its Easter Project, Nevada
20 Aprile 2011 - 3:30PM
Marketwired
La Quinta Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE: LAQ) ("La Quinta") is
pleased to announce that trenching on its Easter project, Lincoln
County, Nevada, on the West Vein target uncovered a sheared
epithermal quartz vein 22 ft (6.77 m) thick that contained an
average of 0.025 oz/ton (0.85 g/t) gold values where intersected.
The vein includes two outer zones with thicknesses of 5 ft @ 0.031
oz/st (1.54 m @ 1.07 g/t) and 2 ft @ 0.034 oz/st (0.62 m @ 1.15
g/t). The trench was excavated along 190 ft (58.5 m) following
contour on a steep hillside, to intersect the projected strike of
vein fragments found by reconnaissance sampling in 2010. Four
additional zones of 5 ft thicknesses contained gold values
0.010-0.023 oz/st, in silicified and clay-altered tuffs in the
hanging wall of the West Vein. Preliminary metallurgical studies
are planned for all intervals containing gold values greater than
0.01 oz/st. There are no previous records of metallurgical studies
on mineralization from the West Vein area. La Quinta's contractor
has now completed reclamation of this area, as well as reclamation
of the 2010 drilling program area.
Additional geological reconnaissance was made along strike 1,600
ft west (500 m) of the area of trenching, in the Extension target.
Reconnaissance samples taken 500 ft westerly from the trench site
returned gold values from a zone of thinly banded
quartz-adularia-sericite veins of 7.32 g/t and 10 g/t (0.21 oz/st
and 0.29 oz/st). The zone of mineralization is interpreted to be a
shoot raking to the west within the West Vein system. The shoot
appears to be 200-300 ft in strike length and 80-100 ft in width.
Depths of mineralization are anticipated to be similar to those
identified below the indicated resource at the Main Vein. Follow-up
detailed sampling is planned for this area during 2011. There are
no records of drilling having ever been performed on this area.
Silver and other trace element analyses are pending for both
reconnaissance and trench samples.

Minerals in its Reno, NV and North Vancouver, BC facilities.
About La Quinta Resources Corporation
La Quinta is a junior precious metals exploration company
actively seeking mineral opportunities for the benefit of our
stakeholders. Currently the Company is focused on exploring for
gold and silver on its Easter Project and Black Jack properties in
Nevada. The Easter Project is underlain by an epithermal
quartz-adularia vein stockwork system hosted within Tertiary
volcanic rocks of the Caliente Caldron Complex of southeastern
Nevada. Numerous drill programs were conducted over the past 27
years by several operators. The resultant 121 holes and five adits
were used to outline a 43-101 compliant resource of 2.6 million
tons at 1.3 g/t gold (0.038 oz/t) and 14 g/t silver (0.4 oz/t)
within an area of gold mineralization with a strike length of at
least 6,450 feet (1,966 m) and drill-defined widths up to 90 feet
(27.4 m). Significant prior intercepts include up to 0.194 oz. Au /
ton over 90 feet (6.6 g/t over 27.4m true thickness) (including
0.549 oz. Au / ton over 15 feet (18.8 g/t over 4.5m)) and 0.084 oz.
/ ton over 110 feet (including 0.534 oz. Au / ton over 5 feet)
(2.88 g/t over 33.5 m w/internal 18.3 g/t in 1.52 m). The Black
Jack property, an early-stage exploration target in NE Nevada,
consists of old mine workings that contain silver- gold-base metals
veins hosted in Ordovician limestones that overlie nearby Cambrian
shale. No resource has been identified on this property.
