Timberline Extends High-Grade Zone at Butte Highlands

Timberline Resources Corp. (TSXV:TBR,AMEX:TLR) announced continued drilling success from its 50,000-foot underground core drill program at the Butte Highlands Joint Venture Gold Project in southwestern Montana.

As quoted in the press release:

Timberline extends high-grade zone at Butte Highlands by drilling 51.8 feet (15.8 metres) grading 0.43 ounces of gold per ton (14.6g/t).

The drill program at Butte Highlands was designed for detailed delineation of gold mineralization and for production planning purposes. Drilling continues to expand and in-fill the deposit with broad intercepts of high-grade gold. Fifteen distinct intervals grading in excess of 0.10 ounces per ton (opt) (3.4 grams per tonne (g/t)) gold were identified within the six holes reported today.

Timberline’s President and CEO, Paul Dircksen, said:

“We are especially impressed with the broader zones of consistent high-grade gold in the mineralized blocks at Butte Highlands. These are exceptional results that extend the deposit while improving the quality and reliability of our geologic model and our mine model as we move toward production.”
