May 01, 2012 Quartz Mountain Acquires Prospective New Ground In Central BC | |
May 1, 2012 - Vancouver, BC Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. ("Quartz Mountain" or the "Company") (TSXV: QZM; OTCBB: QZMRF) announces that it has staked 93 new claims in an area located 133 kilometres northwest of the Blackwater gold deposit and 41 kilometres south of Houston, BC. The 391 square kilometer Karma property was staked to cover 70-73 million year old Kasalka volcanic units that are the same age as the rocks which host gold and silver deposits in BC's exciting new Blackwater-Newton gold district located to the south. The Blackwater-Newton district hosts New Gold's plus seven million ounce Blackwater deposit, its Capoose silver-gold deposit and Amarc's Newton gold discovery. Quartz Mountain has interests in two properties in this prospective area where there is considerable potential for the discovery of bulk tonnage gold/silver and/or gold vein deposits. In addition to Karma, the Company has an option to earn 100% of the Buck gold-silver property centred 15 km south of Houston. Past exploration indicates the presence of an extensive gold-silver mineralized system at Buck, outlined by coincident geophysical and gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies, which are still open to expansion. Zones of gold/silver mineralization were intersected in irregularly spaced drill holes by prior operators which further support the potential at Buck. The Company plans exploration programs including an airborne geophysical survey combined with ground geochemical and Induced Polarization surveys to establish and prioritize drill targets at both Karma and Buck. This release has been reviewed by Mark Rebagliati, P.Eng, a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.
