Canadian Platinum Corp. announced the results of the initial field exploration program on the company's Cook Gold Project in northern Nevada. Managed by Axiom Exploration Ltd., of Saskatoon, SK, exploration work completed to date on the property includes: an airborne magnetometer survey, carried out by Pioneer Aerial Surveys Ltd.; Orthomosaic photogrammetry; a fixed-wing airborne hyperspectral survey carried out by SpecTIR LLC of Reno, Nevada; and an initial surface prospecting, mapping and sampling program. The hyperspectral survey identified surface alteration dominated by propyllitic alteration that is present over a bedrock exposure area of approximately 6km by 4km. This is indicative of a large mineralizing system, potentially an extension of the Battle Mountain-Eureka gold belt, and has high potential for low sulfidation epithermal gold mineralization (like the nearby Sleeper Mine) and gold-copper porphyry-style mineralization. Phengitic to muscovitic illite and kaolinite are also present and high crystallinity illite appears to be associated with known occurrences of precious metals. The initial sampling program focused on historic mine workings with in situ chip samples taken where possible and, where not possible, grab samples from rock dumps near the adits and shafts. The mineralization is associated with fault structures and breccia zones in a volcanic host rock. As noted above, 3 of the 4 major linear structures identified are dominated by high-grade gold mineralization and 1 structure is dominated by high-grade copper mineralization. The orogenic structural setting found on the Cook property is highly complex with multiple events, orientations and kinematics. Four of the major mineralized structures were identified and focused on during this exploration program. The width of the mapped structures sampled was variable ranging from 0.2m to 1.5m in apparent thickness, which will be more accurately defined during the fall diamond drill program when drill data is available. Structure 1 is a stacked, shallow-dipping, northwest-southeast striking fault with multiple high grade gold samples taken over a 2.1km strike length. This fault showed features that could be attributable to thrust faulting. Structure 2 is an east-west striking, steeply-dipping, strike-slip fault system showing 1.5 ­2.0 m dextral offset. This fault intersects the Tiller Mine and extends to the far west area of the southern part of the property, although more infill evidence between the identified 1.75km strike length and the suspected extension is required to increase the confidence of its continuity. Structure 3 is a northwest-southeast trending, steeply-dipping fault, with strike-slip kinematics. This fault has been ground-proven with multiple exposed locations throughout its 1.95km strike length and is one of the programs priority drill targets. Structure 4 is a north-south trending, steeply dipping, Reidel-type structure with multiple high grade gold samples collected within an alteration zone along its mapped 1.8km strike length.
