ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, Feb. 28, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - X-Terra Resources Inc. (TSXV: XTT) (FRANKFURT: XTR) ("X-Terra") is pleased to announce that it has received the final till sample results stemming from its due diligence review in October 2018 on the Northwest property in New Brunswick from IOS Services Geoscientifiques. Three targeted areas were selected for follow up of the New-Brunswick Government till sampling (Parkhill, M.A. 2005 Till Geochemistry of the Kedgewick, Gounamitz River, States Brook and Menneval Map Areas, Northwestern New Brunswick. New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources, Minerals, Policy and Planning Division, Open File Report 2005-4) in an effort to link the existing gold bearing quartz veins (Rim/Dome/Bonanza).
The results have highlighted a significant 65 gold grain anomaly in the vicinity of the Dome and Bonanza veins, from which two dispersion trains are stemming toward the East-north-east and North-east, related to two distinct glacial events. A third cluster of anomalous samples is located to the south-east of the veins. While the gold grain counts are partially lower, they remain a sharp contrast to the almost sterile background. Gold grains are overwhelmingly dominated by pristine morphology, suggestive of a local origin. The Rim area of the Northwest property being located at the eastern limit of the survey, it remains open to be tested. See map 1.
The best exploration results obtained by X-Terra over the Northwest Property include 1,205.06 g/t Au at the Rim sector, 149.97 g/t Au at the Bonanza sector and 47.88 g/t Au at Dome sector. See map 2.
Additionally, X-Terra sampled the Rim vein at regular intervals at the surface over 19.9 metres to confirm if gold mineralization is continuous. The average of the nine (9) grab samples returned 125.44 g/t Au over the 19.9 metres (see X-Terra press release dated Dec. 5, 2018, for details).
These results are very encouraging given that gold grain counts in dispersion trains are well contrasted with background, enabling dependable detection of mineralized veins.
In other news, X-Terra announces that it will effect a non-brokered private placement in a maximum amount of $1,000,000 by issuing a maximum of 8,333,334 units at a price of $0.12 per unit.
