Tungsten Project
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Mar 11, 2014) -
Blackheath Resources Inc. (TSX-VENTURE:BHR)(FRANKFURT:04B)
("Blackheath") is pleased to report results from the second round
of preliminary work at the 213 square kilometre Vale das Gatas
Tungsten/Tin Project, located 100 kilometres east of Porto in
northern Portugal.
To date, 16 samples were collected from the Prainelas area,
approximately 1.5 square kilometres in size. A single grab sample
taken from one of the waste dumps assayed 7.28% WO3 or 72.8
kg/tonne. The total average of all the samples was over 3.03% WO3.
(These must be considered to be preliminary selected samples,
and as such, may not be representative of average values for each
area.)
The following table shows the results from all assays taken to
date at Vale Das Gatas:

"We are thrilled with the continued positive results from our
exploration work at Vale das Gatas," said James Robertson, P. Eng.,
President & CEO of Blackheath Resources. "We look forward to
further exploration work at Vale das Gatas scheduled for this year
which includes: expanded mapping of the Prainelas Veins, further
exploration and underground mapping of the historic Vale das Gatas
mine, and diamond drilling."
The Vale das Gatas mine was the second most prolific past
producer of tungsten in Portugal, after Borralha, also owned by
Blackheath. The Vale das Gatas mine closed in 1986 as a result of a
significant decline in tungsten price. At its peak, the mine
employed over 1,000 workers and produced up to 635 tonnes of
tungsten concentrates annually. The average recovered grade of the
mine was 0.35% WO3 (tungsten trioxide) per tonne. At least thirty
tungsten-bearing sub-vertical quartz veins have been identified
over some 900 metres, with lengths up to 2 kilometres at surface.
To date, Blackheath has identified approximately 300 old mine
workings on the property. These workings include adits, trenches
and small open pits.
