MetalCorp Limited announced that Full Force Diamond Drilling Ltd. has completed its first drillhole and moved its drilling rig to start its second drillhole in MetalCorp's 6-hole drilling program at its Black Bear Project, 15 kilometers North-East of Balmertown in the Red Lake area of northwestern Ontario. The program is designed to target favourable geological features within the East Bay Deformation Zone corridor. Drilling is expected to be completed by mid-December. The Black Bear Project encompasses the Balmer Assemblage typical of the geological environment comprising the famous Campbell and Dickenson gold mines. Those two mines merged together in 2006 during the Goldcorp take over of Placer Dome to become the Red Lake Gold Mines complex and is now under the ownership of Evolution Mining of Australia. The geological assemblage consists of volcanogenic rocks sequenced with ultramafic horizons surrounded by intrusive stocks. Two major deformation structures control the gold mineralization such as D2 deformation zones striking West-North-West to the old Cochenour mine, which is also operated by Evolution Mining, and then the East Bay Deformation Zone striking North-North-East from the Cochenour mine along East Bay and running through the Black Bear Project.
