White Metal Resources Corp. has commenced its work program on the Shebandowan gold property where recently White Metal acquired a 100 percent ownership on claims that were controlled by Benton Resources Inc.

The Benton claims lie directly south of the company’s 100%-owned Vanguard property located in the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt. The work program will consist of soil sampling over the old gold occurrences to expand known areas and also explore for new targets. This will be followed up by prospecting, mapping and drilling of favorable targets. The Shebandowan property is located approximately 20 km east of the past producing Coldstream Mine which produced 102 million pounds of copper, 440,000 ounces of silver and 22,000 ounces of gold. Also, to the west of the Shebandowan property is the Moss Lake gold mine which has a total resource (all categories) of 3.13 million ounces of gold.

In 2011, Benton completed a diamond drilling program on the Shebandowan property to test various rock and soil geochemistry and geophysical induced polarization (IP) anomalies for gold. The best results from the diamond drilling program were 19.5g/t Au over 0.80m in hole SH-11-003 and numerous intersections of 1 to 2 g/t Au over narrow intervals in SH-11-007. The Shebandowan property borders the company’s 100 percent-owned Vanguard property which hosts two historical non 43-101 compliant resources known as the East Vanguard and West Vanguard properties. The East Vanguard property has a historical resource of 100,000 tons grading 1.8 percent Cu, 4.5 percent Zn, 6.8g/t Ag and 5g/t Au while the West Vanguard deposit contains 200,000 tons of 1.3 percent Cu, 1.5 percent Zn, and 8.62g/t Ag. A 1991 Noranda Inc. report indicated that the West Vanguard resource also contained 4-6 g/t Au.

Work will also commence on the southern portion of the Shebandowan property which is along strike approximately 10km west of the Shebandowan nickel-copper mine which was in production from 1972 to 1998 and produced 8.34 million tons of 2.0 percent nickel, 1.2 percent copper and 3.96g/t PGE plus gold. The work program will include ground geophysics over existing airborne electromagnetic anomalies to better determine drill targets. The company will also conduct soil and lake sampling geochemistry to test for the presence of gold and base metals in and around the conductor trend.
