Black Panther Provides Olsen Gold Property Exploration Update
West Vancouver, British Columbia – June 14, 2010 – Black Panther Mining Corp. (“Black Panther” or the “Company”) wishes to report on the first phase of its exploration program on its Olsen Gold Property located approximately 85 km north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
The first phase of exploration (underway since May 20th) includes mapping and surface sampling and prospecting. To date, two intense iron carbonate alteration systems, that appear to extend for 3,000 metres, have been discovered. The zones have anomalous gold values and are being followed up with detailed sampling. In addition, line cutting followed by geophysics, which will include magnetics and then IP (induced polarization), are planned in an effort to further define the most prospective mineralized gold zones for trenching. Upon successful completion of the trenching program, Black Panther intends to proceed with a phase II core drill exploration program.
The Olsen Property appears to cover several major structures and numerous gold showings within a 6 mile (9.6 km) strike length. A silicified porphyry, which is an important factor for the formation of major gold deposits, has also been located. Two “float” bolders of high grade gold have been located on the Property (as historically reported in the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry assessment files). Robert Middleton, P.Eng., states that “the geological setting of the Olsen Property Project resembles that of a number of mines in the Porcupine Gold Camp in the Timmins, Ontario area”.
The Olsen Property project is being supervised by R.S. Middleton, P.Eng, who is the Company’s Qualified Person for this program in accordance with regulations under NI 43-101.
