Maritime Resources Corp. announced further results from the trenching and high grade channel sampling program at the Whisker Valley Project, located approximately 10 kilometres (km) north of the Company's Hammerdown gold mine. The Jackson Vein is located between the Ben and Gary Veins within the trenched area that has now exposed the vein system for over 250 metres. High grade gold assays were returned from both the Gary and Ben veins that sit on either end of the Jackson Vein. The newly discovered vein system remains open in both directions along strike and at depth. The Jackson Vein, has been exposed during the trenching program that was carried out this past fall and is represented by a robust series of gold and base metal bearing quartz veins, containing localized occurrences of galena, pyrite and chalcopyrite and visible gold hosted in altered granitic rocks. The Jackson Vein has now been mapped over a total strike length of 82 metres with composited results from the most easterly 34 metre section of the Vein returning a weighted average grade of 13.66 g/t gold with an average vein width of 1.23 metres. Further trenching will be conducted in the spring of 2018 after the completion of the planned drill program to start in February 2018. The Jackson Vein is the center portion of the vein system and is part of the overall Whisker Valley gold vein system which includes the Ben, Gary and Jackson. The current trenching program has exposed these veins for over 250 linear metres with all mineralization fully open in both directions and at depth. Channel assay results for the remaining Jackson Vein and easterly portion of the Ben Vein, are anticipated and will be released over the next several weeks. There is significant visible gold with in the vein system, so a select number of samples are being re-assayed using the Metallic Screen assay method for greater reliability. Eastern Analytical Procedures: All samples assayed and pertaining to this press release were completed by Eastern Analytical Limited (EAL) located at Springdale, Newfoundland. EAL is an ISO 17025:2005 accredited laboratory for a defined scope of procedures. EAL bears no relationship to Maritime Resources. Samples are delivered in sealed plastic bags to EAL by Maritime field crews where they are dried, crushed, and pulped. Samples are crushed to approximately 80% passing a minus 10 mesh and split using a riffle splitter to approximately 250 grams. A ring mill is used to pulverize the sample split to 95% passing minus 150 mesh. Sample rejects are securely stored at the EAL site for future reference. A 30-gram representative sample is selected for analysis from the 250 grams after which EAL applies a fire assay fusion followed by acid digestion and analyses by atomic absorption for gold analyses. Other metals were analyzed by applying an acid digestion and 34 element ICP analysis finish. EAL runs a comprehensive QA/QC program of standards, duplicates and blanks within each sample stream.
