VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/19/13 -- Belvedere Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: BEL)("Belvedere") is pleased to announce results from the reconnaissance drilling campaign on their 10 km2 Antikanpera gold property. This phase of drilling was aimed at investigating the possible strike extents to the Pontio gold discovery, announced in September 2012, along the M2 geophysical trend. Twelve new holes were drilled along a 2.5 km strike for a total of 1167 m. The drilling was successful in intersecting mineralised diorite and plagioclase porphyry of similar style to the initial Pontio discovery in all but three of the drillholes.
Highlights:
-- 15.51 m @ 1.47 g/t Au extending Pontio mineralisation down dip in BelAnp017-- 20.01 m @ 1.07 g/t Au new zone mineralisation intersected 270m south of Pontio in BelAnp026-- 22.04 m @ 0.6 g/t Au in parallel (?) intrusive system 1.4 km south of Pontio in BelAnp023-- 84.03m @ 0.47 g/t Au 2.1 km south of Pontio in BelAnp024
David Pym CEO states "The drilling campaign has been successful in beginning to outline a large strikelength of gold mineralised intrusive over 2.5 km on the M2 geophysical trend. Considering the lack of outcrop, this phase of drilling has been remarkably successful, potentially indicating that a number of mineralised intrusives are present on the trend. The new mineralised zones in BelAnp023 and 024 open up considerable new exploration potential in the southern areas of the trend, with 023 being collared in mineralisation and 024 being mineralised along the entire length of the drillhole"
