GGL Resources Corp. announced the discovery of a previously unrecognized copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry system at its road-accessible Gold Point Project in the Walker Lane Trend of Western Nevada. The porphyry target, referred to as Le Champ De Gold Point ("Le Champ"), was first identified through routine contour soil sampling late last year and has since been better defined by additional soil and rock sampling, helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric surveys and reconnaissance-scale geological mapping and prospecting.

Le Champ is located about 3.5 km west of the gold-rich veins that have been the focus of historical exploration at Gold Point. The porphyry target lies within the Jurassic-age, Sylvania Granitic Complex. This pluton is similar in age to intrusions that host large porphyry systems in the Yerington district of Walker Lane, 249 km to the northwest.

The best-known deposits in the Yerington District are the former Yerington Mine, which was operated by Anaconda, and the Ann Mason deposit owned by Hudbay Minerals. Rocks in the Le Champ area have been oxidized and leached of mobile metals as a result of intense and long-lived surface weathering. The depth of the leached cap at Le Champ is not known, however oxidation at some of the veins in the Gold Point district extends to more than 270 m below surface.

Numerous rock samples from Le Champ have returned strongly elevated molybdenum values ranging from 200 ppm to 407 ppm. Peak values for other metals include 713 ppm copper, 0.28 g/t gold and 3.91 g/t silver. Abundant malachite and azurite are found locally in fringing veins located immediately north of the porphyry target.

Samples from these veins returned 0.04% to 6.3% copper, 3 ppm to 6,820 ppm molybdenum and 0.01 g/t to 3.45 g/t gold. Interpretation of satellite imagery has identified numerous limonite-stained talus trains within the intrusion that are believed to represent leached areas within the upper portions of a buried porphyry system. Areas of intense silica alteration with abundant quartz stockwork are found on prominent hill tops and are surrounded by areas of strong clay alteration on lower slopes.

Hyperspectral sampling of rock taken from within the Le Champ target has outlined a broad area containing kaolinite, sulphates, and secondary biotite, while prospecting has identified several phases of intrusive rocks. Detailed mapping and petrographic work are planned to characterize and delineate the various types of intrusions and overprinting alteration.
