Manson Creek Resources Ltd. is lead by a strong technical team of four professional geologists that bring a combined total of over 80 years of exploration experience to the Company. Manson Creek is engaged exclusively in the business of mineral exploration with an edge on acquiring early stage gold projects across Canada. The Virgin Arm Gold Project in Newfoundland and the Meridian Gold Project in British Columbia give the Company a solid foundation for growth in this time of record gold prices.

Newfoundland has exciting unrealized discovery potential as there has been essentially no gold focused exploration in the province prior to the 1980’s! The spring exploration program bore that out with the new discovery of a gold bearing system!

Significant gold assays, ranging from 0.50 grams per tonne (g/t) gold to 10.07 g/t gold, were received from continuous channel samples perpendicular to the exposed 410 meter (m) long mineralized zone on the Virgin Arm Gold Property. Gold was first identified in the region as recently as 1987. Three of these historic gold showings, the Hank, Homer, and Barney, were initially examined during the Spring 2010 program. Work completed on the Hank and Homer zones resulted in the discovery of this new gold bearing system.

The first phase program clearly demonstrated a widespread, previously unrecognized, gold system and has confirmed the potential for the discovery of large, bulk tonnage gold mineralization. Along with the high grade gold results over meter scale widths it has been observed that a pervasive lower grade gold halo is present in the Hank and Homer gold zones.

Detailed geological work has outlined several styles of gold mineralization on the property. The gold mineralized felsic dykes in the Hank and Homer zones are hosted within the structurally complex Badger Group sedimentary rocks with the felsic dykes cross cutting the stratigraphy and structure. The felsic dykes are strongly silicified with strong pervasive sericite alteration and local strong iron carbonate alteration. Gold appears to be present as free gold within the felsic dyke matrix and is also present in the pervasive quartz veins and quartz stockwork. Visible gold has been observed in numerous localities in the course of the trenching program. Additionally, panning of excavated trench bedrock has produced heavy mineral concentrates containing fine and locally nuggety gold.
