Typhoon Exploration Inc. announced a new series of results from 13 drill holes under a drilling program currently underway on its 100%-owned Fayolle Deposit, in which Aurizon Mines Ltd. may acquire a 65% interest, subject to a 2% royalty, by conducting $25 million dollars' worth of exploration work and a $2 million dollar private placement, for a total of $27 million dollars. The drilling campaign was planned by the Typhoon-Aurizon team. The definition drilling program underway aims at better defining the geometry and grade of the Fayolle Deposit, as well as identifying the immediate extensions of the mineralized shell. Amongst the results previously announced, FA-11-55 had returned grades of 14.9 g/t Au over 30.0 m, including 60,9 g/t Au over 6.0 m. To date, 30,641 metres have been drilled under the definition drilling program, for a total of 87 drill holes, including 18 for which assay results are still pending. The spacing grid varies between 25 meters in the heart of the showing to 100 meters as for the drilling for the extensions. Drill holes FA-11-57, FA-11-58, FA-11-60, FA-11-61, FA-11-62, FA-11-63 and FA-11-69 were carried out in the southern part of the Fayolle Deposit in order to intercept the extension of high-grade breccia lenses observed in the heart of the Fayolle Deposit. All of the drill holes mentioned above were intersected by komatiite containing zones of significant carbonate-fuchsite alteration, with intense zones of breccia development accompanied by porphyritic monzodiorite intermediate intrusions. The best results obtained (see table of results above) confirm a highly anomalous shell ranging from 25 to 50 m thick in the southern extension of the Fayolle Deposit. The intersected mineralized shell also contains high-grade deposits with up to 8.6 g/t Au over 1 m, comprised in an intersection of 3.44 g/t Au over 7 m. FA-11-66 was performed at approximately 100 m north of the Fayolle Deposit and was intended to intercept the possible northward extension of the high-grade lenses. Note that no drilling had yet been carried out in this sector and Typhoon is currently working on assessing the gold-bearing potential of this new extension. In fact, this survey intersected several hematized, silicified and chloritized plurimetric dykes of monzodiorite composition. As in the southern sector, a major mineralized shell with significant gold anomalies has been observed in the northern sector. In fact, this shell shows values of 0.6 g/t Au over 21 m of thickness. The grades intersected confirm the strong potential of this new zone.
