Dentonia Resources Ltd. (“the Company”) is pleased to announce channel sampling assay results from the quartz-garnet tungsten discovery skarn (“the Discovery Skarn”) on the Knight Inlet Area Claims (see News Releases dated June 22 and July 14, 2009). The Discovery Skarn is located 11kms inland from Fraser Bay at the head of Loughborough Inlet.
Elemental Tungsten (“W”) is sold on the world market as tungsten concentrate (“WO3”); accordingly W assay values were converted to WO3 by the formula WO3 = 1.2616 x W.
Channel sampling highlights are:
- 9m (0-9m) averaging 0.189% (1.9kg/t) WO3 and 0.25% copper; and
- 14m (15-29m) averaging 0.155% (1.6kg/t) WO3 and 0.06% copper, including 4m (15-19m) of 0.36% (3.6kg/t) WO3.
Twenty-nine channel samples at 1m intervals along the Discovery Skarn were collected under the supervision and control of James A. Turner, P.Geo. A horizontal channel was created with a rock saw at a consistent height across the Discovery Skarn (see photo on Dentonia’s website at www.dentonia.net). The samples were assayed by International Plasma Labs Ltd. of Richmond, BC. Copper was analyzed by the Fusion Induced Plasma Mult-acid (ICPM) Method and tungsten by the Fusion ICP Method.
The current world price of WO3 is approximately US$25 per kilogram. Tungsten is a hard, corrosive-resistant element with the highest melting point of all non-alloyed metals. Tungsten and its alloys are used in high-temperature structural materials and many electronic applications. China is believed to produce approximately 85% of the world’s tungsten.
Significant channel sample results are given in the following table.

**A zone encountered during channel sampling included a zone from 9-15m of barren limestone. This unit contains up to 40% Calcium and represents alteration of the primary limestone that makes up the Skarn and is considered a very small portion of the mineralized package. Total width of the zone is 150m from intrusive contact to intrusive contact.
Loughborough Inlet is located approximately 80kms north of Campbell River, BC and can be reached by boat, seaplane or helicopter. The tungsten skarn discovery is easily accessible by a logging road 11kms inland from Fraser Bay at the head of the inlet and accommodation is available at the Fraser Bay logging camp .
