Drilling Continues to Expand Langmuir Nickel Mineralization to the East and at Depth
08:00 EST Wednesday, January 16, 2008FSC / Press ReleaseDrilling Continues to Expand Langmuir Nickel Mineralization to the East and at DepthVancouver, British Columbia CANADA, January 16, 2008 /FSC/ - Golden Chalice Resources Inc. (GCR - TSX Venture, GCRIF - OTCBB_Pink_Sheets), is pleased to announce results from its Langmuir Nickel Project located approximately 35 kilometers southeast of Timmins and 30 kilometers south of the Xstrata Metallurgical complex in Ontario. Two drills have been exploring the easterly and westerly strike extensions of nickel mineralization discovered in early May of 2007. A third drill has just been added to commence testing over 20 newly identified B-field airborne VTEM targets on the Langmuir property. The Company geophysicist has noted that numerous targets share similar characteristics to the initial nickel discovery with respect to size and depth.The GCR nickel discovery in the southeast portion of Langmuir Township is the first nickel discovery in over 30 years within an area geologists believe has similar potential to the Kambalda nickel camp in Western Australia. The Kambalda camp is approximately 10 km long by 4 km wide and hosts at least 25 nickel sulphide deposits. These deposits rim a geological feature called the Kambalda Dome.In comparison, GCR's land position is over 25 kilometers long and up-to 6 km wide. The property encompasses a substantial part of an arcuate belt of highly prospective peridotitic komatiites that rim a geological dome called the Shaw Dome. Similar peridotitic komatiites within the arcuate belt and adjacent to GCR's Langmuir property currently host nickel deposits such as the Redstone and the Langmuir nickel mines.The Shaw Dome shares similar characteristics to the Kambalda Dome. The presence of several nickel deposits rimming the Shaw Dome confirms the potential for the discovery of additional nickel deposits around this Dome. Drilling to date on GCR's Langmuir nickel discovery has established 3 parallel nickel bearing zones (A,B,C). The A and B zones appear to merge and separate from one another. They range in true width from 3 to over 20 metres and have been followed along strike for 200 metres and to a vertical depth of 250 metres. The C zone is 3 to 10 metres in true width and is only intersected at depth. Thus far the deepest intersection is at about 375 metres below surface. All 3 zones are open at depth. The zones dip subvertically to the north and may roll and dip toward the south according to geophysics. Deeper drilling is underway to test the depth and down plunge extension of the nickel zones. In addition, shallow drilling is planned to determine the near surface expression of the nickel mineralization to better define the zones for resource estimation. The drill results will be used to calculate a resource estimate as a first step toward determining the economic viability of the recently discovered Langmuir nickel zones. Recent results from drilling include hole GCL07-27, collared 25 meters east of the discovery drill hole, which intersected 1.62% Ni over 4.90 meters from 203.10 to 208.0 meters drilled width including 2.65% Ni over 2.35 meters from 203.10 to 205.45 meters. This zone is tentatively correlated with the A zone. The B zone further downhole intersected 1.02% Ni over 5.60 meters from 263.40 to 269.0 meters drilled width. This includes an intersection of 1.36% Ni over 3.10 meters from 263.40 to 266.50 meters. The C zone intersected 1.19% Ni over 10.25 meters from 326.75 to 337.0 meters drilled width.Drill hole GCL07-29, collared 50 meters east of the discovery drill hole intersected 2.0% Ni over 5.20 meters from 217.80 to 223.0 meters. This includes a higher grade interval of 6.73% Ni over 0.85 meters. Estimated true widths are given in the table below:-***-------------------------------------... Est.
