Marketwired Canada
Selkirk Metals Corp. ("Selkirk" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SLK) and the
leadership of the Ahousaht First Nation ("Ahousaht") together are pleased to
confirm that the Permit approving operations for the proposed 2009 exploration
program on the Catface Copper Project, British Columbia has been issued.
The approved program includes 22 drill holes totaling approximately 11,000
meters from 11 sites. Drilling will focus on continued expansion and definition
of the Cliff Zone, which contains all the resource outlined to date; evaluation
of the higher grade mineralization within the Irishman Creek Zone; and drill
testing of the Hecate Bay Zone, which was previously identified by surface
geochemistry, prospecting, IP geophysics and geological mapping.
Additional work will include the rehabilitation of 7 kilometres of road
previously used as a main haul road for logging on Catface as well as the
extensive mineral exploration operations carried out by the former project
operator.
Selkirk is planning to work with an Ahousaht based field construction company to
complete the road rehabilitation and exploration crews will continue to have
significant representation by Ahousaht community members.
The Ahousaht Chief and Council and membership have given their approval and
support to Selkirk continuing mineral exploration at and around Catface
Mountain, and the road rehabilitation project that is required. Ahousaht and
Selkirk have agreed to work together to ensure that the highest environmental
standards will be upheld in relation to the mineral exploration and mine
development, should it be put into production.
Catface Copper Mines Limited, a subsidiary of Selkirk, holds all of the mineral
rights issued by the Province of British Columbia for the Catface property which
is located at and around Catface Mountain in central Vancouver Island, British
Columbia.
