Kaminak Gold Begins 2016 Exploration Program at Coffee Project

Kaminak Gold (TSXV:KAM) announced the start of its Phase 1 2016 exploration program at the Coffee Gold project.
As quoted in the press release:

Further to the May 5^th, 2016 Kaminak news release, the program is designed to test resource expansion potential proximal to the proposed mine site as well as to further investigate priority gold-in-soil anomalies identified from previous exploration campaigns regionally throughout the landholdings. The Phase I program will include soil sampling, trenching and drilling under a budget of approximately $2.6 million.
Priority targets for Phase I include:

• Follow-up expansion drilling at Supremo T3 and Latte, two high-yielding mineralized structures that jointly contribute significant gold ounces in the current mine plan and remain open along strike
• Systematic testing of early stage drill discoveries and over 20km of linear trending, gold-in-soil anomalies proximal to the proposed Coffee Gold Project mine plan
• Priority gold-in-soil anomalies tested with trenching and/or drilling

A Phase II, approximately $2.4 million exploration program, is planned for later in the summer, contingent upon results of the Phase I program.
The 2016 Phase I program will include the use of a small, track mounted “Grasshopper” drilling rig from Northspan Explorations Ltd. to undertake a shallow, scout drilling campaign consisting of angled, 50 m deep holes along strike from known deposits such as Supremo T3 and Latte where gold-in-soil sampling has proven ineffective, due to permafrost and/or thick layers of colluvium.
The Grasshopper Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling is anticipated to have a number of advantages:

• Effective and rapid testing of potential near surface oxide mineralization at a cost basis of less than $150 per metre ‘all-in’ cost (including consumables, assaying, wages, camp and travel)
• Lighter platform, requiring less pad clearing and reducing environmental impact
• Flexibility to drill deeper as required
• RC samples adequate for resource estimation
