La Quinta Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE:LAQ) has announced that it has expanded its claim position at its BlackJack project located in Elko County, Nevada.
The Company added 32 claims to its land position based on results of remote sensing interpretation and interpretation of results received on November 23rd, 2010 from a geophysical survey. The BlackJack land position now covers approximately 740 ac (299 ha), or 1.1 sq. mi.
Interpretation of color aerial photography indicated presence of a radial fracture system extending from identified gold, silver and base metals mineralization off the original Black Jack property. The fracture pattern is approximately 6,000 ft (1,800 m) x 2500 ft (770 m). The new claims cover this feature.
The portion of the IP survey completed on a distal extension from old mine workings identified chargeable zones in the same limestone hosting mineralization at the workings, in additional support of the immediate claimblock expansion. La Quinta's technical staffs are considering adjusting the survey configuration to better highlight these areas in the Spring.
The information contained in this news release has been reviewed, approved and deemed relevant by Walter Martin, President of La Quinta Resources and C.P.G., a qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101.
