Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Tasca Resources Ltd. ("Tasca" or the "Company") (TSX Venture symbol: TAC) has commenced planning for a 2018 drill program on the Princeton Gold Property, 35 kilometres south of Princeton, British Columbia and 11 kilometers south of the producing Copper Mountain Copper Mine.  The road accessible, 4013 hectare property is fully permitted for fifty trenching sites and ten drilling sites.

Previous prospecting, soil grids and rock sampling have identified an area of significant interest, Area 2, where float grab and in-place quartz rock sampling documented 25 of 37 samples returning gold values in excess of 1,000 ppb with 13 of the 25 samples returning gold values in excess of 10,000 ppb gold, or 10 grams per tonne, to a maximum of 66,237 ppb or 66.2 grams per tonne gold.  The samples were collected from three separate locations enclosing angular float, sub crop or outcrop of rusty weathered, limonite stained quartz with trace to 5% very fine grained disseminated pyrite. Several of the samples exhibit remnant vugs or cellular boxwork structure. The 2011 grid soil sampling surveys indicate Area 2 hosts multiple, linear, parallel gold-in-soil anomalies with the strongest anomaly striking a minimum of 500 metres to a maximum of 650 metres in a northwestern direction.

President Clive Massey states: “We are very excited to have acquired what we believe to be a property that hosts a bonified new gold discovery with high potential upside for further gold exploration. Much geochemical data has already been gathered and interpreted, while property access and local infrastructure are well developed in the immediate area”.

Tasca is earning a 100 percent interest subject to a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty by making cash payments totalling $30,000, issuing 2,000,000 shares and completing $1,200,000 in exploration over the next three years.

R. Tim Henneberry, P.Geo. (BC) and Tasca’s geologist, is the Qualified Person who has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release.
