Firesteel Resources Inc announced results from the 2011 summer exploration programs on its flagship Copper Creek Property.

During September 2011, UTM Exploration Services Limited of Smithers, BC conducted a short exploration program on the Copper Creek Property. The focus of the program was to follow up the numerous coincident and anomalous data layers that define the Dick Creek zone.

Geophysical chargeability, resistivity and total field magnetics, coupled with geochemical soil contours, historical sampling and mapping, trenching and drilling, have all indicated that the Dick Creek zone has the potential to be larger in size than indicated by subsurface drilling and trenching.

The design of the 2011 program was to expand the existing geological knowledge by focusing on these anomalous areas with an emphasis on structures that have been interpreted through the geophysical images. In many areas on the property, overburden has limited the existing geological picture to date however, the 2011 program was successful in identifying additional monzonitic outcrop to the west of the Dick Creek area, as well as taking rock grab samples with significant Cu assays ie 2.75% Cu, 3.28% Cu, 3.83% Cu, 8.22% and a boulder sample assaying 17.2% Cu.

Mr Michael Hepworth interim president and CEO for Firesteel said that "The good grades of copper found in a large number of the grab samples taken from the Copper Creek property confirm that the Dick Creek corridor contains an area highly anomalous in copper. Next season we will continue mapping and sampling in order to identify targets for further diamond drilling."
