Westcore Energy Ltd. continues to explore for coal at its Black Diamond property near The Pas. The Saskatoon-based company said all of the planned 2012 drill targets at two deposits, known as Cylcops and Calypso, have been completed. Of the seven latest boreholes drilled, all successfully intercepted coal, including a 70.8-metre composite coal interval at Cyclops and a 73.6-metre composite coal interval at Calypso, the company said. Paul Conroy, president and CEO of Westcore, said the new results from Cyclops and Calypso 'have eclipsed Westcore's previous thickest coal intercepts and we expect them to add significant tonnage to our upcoming resource calculation.' The Cyclops deposit was first identified in Westcore's 2010 winter program. To date and cumulatively, the company has drilled eight holes at the Cyclops deposit for a total of 820 metres. The Calypso deposit was first identified in Westcore's 2011 winter program. To date and cumulatively, the company has drilled seven holes at the Calypso deposit for a total of 866 metres. The results from the Cyclops and Calypso deposits are intended to be incorporated into a report to be prepared in accordance with national reporting standards. Westcore plans to next move from the Calypso deposit and commence delineation drilling on the Athena and Quasar deposits, followed by exploration drilling on the Vesta, Luna and Helios targets. The TSX Venture Exchange does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of information supplied by Westcore. _ Compiled from a Westcore Energy Ltd. news release
