NEWS RELEASE Ocean Park Expands Land Position at Trapper by Over 50%
September 23, 2011 - Vancouver, B.C. Ocean Park Ventures Corp. ("Ocean Park" or the “Company”) (TSXV: OCP) announces it has staked an additional 13,500 hectares in the immediate area of the Trapper Gold project, northern British Columbia.
The new claim block is contiguous with the Metla property, and is located less than 1.4 kilometres from the southern boundary of the Trapper claims. The Company’s total land position in the Trapper Gold district now exceeds 22,500 hectares.
Mapping and geophysical work completed by Ocean Park has identified a hydrothermal alteration system with over 8 kilometres of strike at Trapper, containing multiple zones of precious and base metal associated sulfide mineralization. The newly staked ground is underlain by similar geology and structure and is prospective for hosting similar mineralization.
Maps of the expanded property boundaries are posted to the Company’s web site at www.oceanparkventures.com.
The company also has agreed to grant options to purchase an aggregate of 1,780,000 common shares to directors and employees of the Company, exercisable at $0.60 per share for a period of five years from the date of grant.
