VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired) — 09/24/13 — Fall Field Program Set to Begin at Bonaparte
WestKam Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: WKG) („WestKam“ or the „Company“) is pleased to announce the commencement of a fall field program on the Company-s Bonaparte Gold Project. This program is designed to evaluate the copper-gold porphyry potential of the property and test for extensions to the shear hosted, high-grade gold in quartz veins located in the Discovery Zone. The Bonaparte property is located 50km north of Kamloops BC.
Focusing on Two Distinct Targets
The design and objectives of the 2013 Exploration Program have been guided by historical exploration work and geological studies carried out to date on the Bonaparte Property. Several key factors are evident from this data and analysis, and they essentially demonstrate the potential for two distinct targets: 1) Shear hosted, high-grade gold in quartz vein networks and, 2) a Brenda/Woodjam copper-gold porphyry style deposit. Therefore the 2013 Exploration Program is a multi-faceted plan designed to target and develop both styles of mineralization.
Factors Guiding the 2013 Program Design
The key guiding factors for design of the 2013 Exploration Program are presented below, commencing with the high-grade shear hosted gold in quartz veins followed by the porphyry potential:
To summarize, due to the guiding aspects and goals above, the 2013 Exploration Program we are proposing is a much larger and property-wide set of multi-faceted programs than has been carried out to date on the project.
Proposed 2013 Exploration Program:
The proposed exploration program is based on the above mentioned goals. Where feasible, the program has been designed to utilize exploration methods that will test and target both the high-grade gold vein networks as well as the porphyry potential, thereby more efficiently deploying the available exploration resources.

Geophysical Programs:
Prospecting and Mapping:
Diamond Drilling:
In conclusion, the Bonaparte Property presents an opportunity to carry out an efficient exploration program designed to overlap and define two significant types of mineralization.
