Tanager Energy Inc. ("Tanager" or the "Corporation") is pleased to advise that it has engaged Mr. Ike Osmani, President and Chief Geologist of FGC Inc. to complete a compilation report on Tanager's Burchell Lake gold, copper and molybdenum claims located 100 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Tanager's Burchell Lake property is bounded by properties owned by Moss Lake Gold Mines Ltd. on the west and Birch Hill Gold Corp. (formerly Foundation Resources Inc.) on the north. Following evaluation of the compilation report, a 2014 work program for the 5984 hectare property will be developed.
The latest diamond drilling on the Tanager property near Hermia Lake returned gold intercepts up to 7.09 g/t Au over 0.4 m (DDH BU08-7) and 1.81 g/t Au over 3.0 m (BU08-9). Older diamond drill holes returned up to 1.00% Cu over 5.6 m (DDH M7) in the same area.
Only 1.5 km north of northern boundary is Birch Hill Gold Corp.'s East Coldstream Deposit (previously known as the OG Deposit) which hosts an indicated resource of 2.25 million tonnes at a grade of 1.05 g/t Au (76,000 oz) and an inferred resource of 16.975 million tonnes at a grade of 1.01 g/t Au (549,000 oz) both at a 0.6 g/t Au cut off.
