Hanstone Gold Corp. announced that it has completed a bulk sampling, surface sampling and mapping campaign at its DOC Property in northwest British Columbia. A total of 18 sample pits were opened on the Property, with 17 pits located along the DOC area (Q17/Q22 vein zone) and one pit at the Q19 zone.

The bulk sampling component of the program consisted of a series of four bulk samples taken across the Q17 and Q19 vein zones. Each sample at both the Q17 and Q19 veins consisted of abundant galena and minor pyrite mineralization within 0.5 to 1.0 metre quartz veins, hosted within a broader shear zone: The Q17 and Q22 veins clearly coincide with the underground workings, with pits generally exhibiting a similar style of mineralization to that observed within the underground workings. In conjunction with historical drill results, veining and sulphide mineralization appears to be mostly continuous throughout the zone, as well as further along strike to the east.

Assays from the bulk sampling program are forthcoming. The second component of the exploration program consisted of grab sampling and mapping across the majority of the Q17/Q22 (DOC) area, as well as in and around the Q19 zone. Additional samples were collected along strike from the primary mineralization at the Q17/Q22 (DOC) zone.

In conjunction with grab sampling, key lithological and structural observations were recorded at each pit location.
