Manson Creek Confirms Mineralized Gossans

Manson Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV:MCK) reports geochemical results confirming gossan discoveries on the Tell property are strongly mineralized.

The press release is quoted as saying,

Analysis of the samples from the Crystal Springs, Ash Springs, and Area 51 gossan discoveries emphasizes the highly mineralized nature of these zones (Table 1). The soil/silt sample assays returned ranges of 5,792 parts per million (ppm) zinc to greater than 24,500 ppm zinc, 164 ppm to greater than 1,000 ppm nickel, and corresponding highly anomalous arsenic and other pathfinder element values. Three rock samples taken at Ash Springs of lithified, laminated iron rich gossan material returned zinc assays from 19,700 ppm to 27,500 ppm zinc and 0.6 to 1.0 grams per tonne (g/t) silver with high gold pathfinder element values. The silver is considered significant as this is the first time precious metals have been detected in the natural spring gossans.
