KWG, Spider Complete Drilling At Big Daddy Chrome Deposit

Follow us on Twitter

KWG Resources Inc. (TSX-V: KWG) "KWG", Spider Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SPQ) "Spider", and Freewest Resources Canada Inc. (TSX-V: FWR) "Freewest" announce the completion of a very successful drilling program prior to the fall "freeze-up" period in Northern Ontario.

Since 2005 the KWG-Spider Joint Venture has spent the minimum $3.0 million on the Freewest Option and has earned a 50% interest in the optioned claims. The current ownership on the subject claims is now 25% KWG, 25% Spider and 50% Freewest.

Since June, the main exploration focus of the KWG-Spider Joint Venture has been on the massive Chromite occurrence that was first discovered on the Freewest Option property in March of 2006. As a result of the recent drilling completed, the occurrence is now referred to as the "Big Daddy Chromite Deposit". This deposit is located approximately 3.6 kilometers northeast of Noront Resources Ltd's Eagle One Magmatic Massive Sulphide (Nickel Copper and PGM), or five 5 kilometers northeast of Noront's Blackbird One and Two (Chromite) discoveries, and 4 kilometers southwest of Freewest's Black Thor Chromite discovery.

Diamond drilling by the KWG/Spider JV, has identified a northeast trending zone of continuous chrome mineralization, that extends from local grid line 9+00 meters NE to 13+00 NE. The mineralized zone dips towards the NW at about 70 degrees and consists of varying widths of a variable tenor of chrome mineralization, forming a series of stacked lenses. Additional infill drilling will be required to confirm continuity of the lenses from section to section.

The deposit remains open to depth as well as along strike in both directions. In addition, near surface drilling of the upwards extension to surface has not been completed. All drill data is being added to a 3-D Gemcom model to visualize the chromite body. Assays, when they become available will be added into this model, to provide average grade estimates. A number of faults were noted in the drilling logs, some of which occur at the contact of the chromite with the surrounding peridotite/dunite; these fault sets are also being modelled, as they also affect the interpretation and continuity of the mineralization from section to section.

ASSAY DATA RECENTLY RECEIVED

Analytical results have recently been received for three holes drilled earlier this past summer: FW-08-12, FW-08-13 and FW-08-14. Each of these holes intersected massive chromite mineralization as previously announced (August 19, 2008). The following table (Table 1) provides drill collar co-ordinates for these three holes, as well as other holes previously drilled (and reported) on the Big Daddy Chrome occurrence. Table 2 provides additional details of assays received from the first three holes of last summer's exploration program. -- www.cnxmarketlink.com
