ICP RESULTS FROM 2016 DRILLING INDICATES THAT THE WATERLOO ZONE
AND NOT THE WATERPUMP ZONE INTERSECTED
Stewart, BC - Decade Resources Ltd. (“Decade”) reports that it has received the ICP
results for the 2016 surface drill program on the Red Cliff property. On the Red Cliff
project, the Company and Mountain Boy Minerals are in joint venture on the Crown
Granted portion of the property which is owned 65% by Decade and 35% by Mountain
Boy. The Silver Crown 6 claim, in which Decade is earning a 100 % interest, is adjacent
to the north portion of the crown grants. To the north of the Silver Crown 6 claim,
Mountain Boy owns a 100 % interest in the MB property. The Red Cliff Extension claim
owned 100 % by Decade is along the east side of the Silver Crown 6 claim.
Drilling during 2016 was intended to intersect the Waterpump zone, located through
previous work, at surface in the 100- 200m deep Lydden Creek canyon and one historic
drill hole completed in 1988. Exact locations of this historic work were not available to
the Company and drill pads were located approximately 200 m higher in elevation and
west of the reported showings in Lydden Creek. Drilling intersected wide zones of
silicified, pyritic rocks with minor chalcopyrite in 10 of the drill holes completed. Low gold
values were obtained from the intersected zone. Upon comparing the previous ICP
results from the Montro se zone (Waterpump- south extension) with the 2016 results, it
appears that the drilling intersected the Waterloo zone. Results from 2009- 2012 drill
programs on the north side of Lydden Creek indicate that the Waterloo zone consists of
an epidote altered, silicified and pyritic zone carrying chalcopyrite but low gold values. It
is up to 50 m wide occurring along the west side of the Montrose zone. The lack of
elevated lead, zinc and silver plus the presence of epidote indicate the intersection of
the Waterloo zone. The Montrose zone is distinctive in that it contains elevated zinc,
lead and silver along with gold.
The 2017 exploration plans will include the following:
• Further work to accurately locate the 1988 drill hole collar in order to locate the
area of intersection on the Waterpump as well as the GPS co -ordinate of the
zone in the canyon. The drill hole intersection was 150 m below the creek level
indicating an extensive zone.
• Drill some holes to test for the source of high geochemical samples on the Silver
Crown 6 claim obtained in early 2016 sampling. It is believed that a red
gossanous along some steep bluffs is the source of this anomalous gold.
• Drill holes to further define and test the Red Cliff copper-gold zones.
• Model the complete data to aid in future exploration
• If indicated by modelling, complete the first resource study.
To date the drilling indicates 3 separate copper-gold zones; the Red Cliff, Montrose and
Silver Crown along a 3 km long shear structure. The acc ompanying schematic drawing
shows the location of the latter two zones. The Montrose zone has been indicated to be
over 250 m long with a SW plunge over 400 m of dip and open to depth. It is at least 20-
25 m thick with numerous intersections grading over 50g/t gold.
All samples are assayed by Loring laboratories of Calgary, Alberta. It is an ISO9001
certified laboratory. The Company employs a system of known standards and blanks
inserted into the sample stream to monitor lab results.
