09:47 AM EST - Marathon Gold Corporation : announced very positive results from channel samples cut from numerous trenches by diamond saws in a systematic manner along a 1,100-metre strike length of the Sprite Zone and a 700-metre strike length of the Rainbow Zone. These new channels cut across multiple stacked quartz-tourmaline-pyrite gold (QTP) veins exposed in trenches that overlying magnetic low zones interpreted as a splay faults off the main Valentine Lake thrust fault. The new channels from both the Sprite and Rainbow Zones have intersected wide intervals of gold mineralization. The best Sprite Zone channel intervals included 1.80 g/t Au over 16.0 metres in Trench 12700A, 5.29 g/t Au over five metres in Trench 12900 and 1.89 g/t Au over nine metres in Trench 13000.
