Cogitore Resources Inc. intersects
more copper-rich sulphides at the Scott Lake Project
COGITORE Resources Inc. (the "Company") (WOO: TSX-V) is pleased
to report more encouraging assays from the Company's 100% owned
Scott Lake Project in Quebec. Hole SC-29, drilled primarily to
test the extension of the Central Lens 100 metres west of hole
SC-15 (see press release of June 6, 2007), intersected 93.2 metres
of stringer and disseminated sulphides grading 0.50% copper and
0.91% zinc, including 16.9 metres grading 1.35% copper, 1.51% zinc
and 38 g/t silver, in the stratigraphic footwall of the Central
Lens at a vertical depth of 410 metres. Significant assays from
hole SC-29 are shown below:

The stringer zone is hosted by mineralized felsic volcanics forming
the stratigraphic footwall of the Central Lens and represents a
100 metre step-out from similar mineralization in hole SC-15, which
had yielded 25 metres grading 1.10% copper, 2.24% zinc and 36 g/t
silver.
Company President Gérald Riverin, Ph.D., P. Geo. commented “We
continue to be impressed by the intensity of the stringer-type
mineralization associated with the North Horizon, which hosts the
Central Lens. As our ultimate objective at Scott Lake is to identify
a copper-rich orebody, we are very pleased with the results of
holes SC-15 and SC-29, which were drilled 100 metres apart and
graded 1.35% and 1.1% copper with about 36 g/t of silver over respective
widths of 25 metres and 17 metres. The Scott Lake Project already
hosts 4 massive sulphide lenses with associated copper-rich stringer
zones, and a potential new massive sulphide lens was recently intersected
as well (see press release of September 10, 2008). Therefore significant
evidence exists of a mineralized system of a scale consistent with
large deposits yet to be discovered at Scott Lake.”
Drilling will continue into November to test various geophysical
targets and to test extensions of the West Lens and the potential
new lens.
Work is carried out by the personnel of Cogitore Resources Inc.,
under the supervision of Gérald Riverin, PhD, P.Geo. He
is a qualified person (as defined by National Instrument 43-101)
and has more than 31 years of experience in mineral exploration.
Core is logged and sections sent for analysis are sawn in half
at the Company's secure facilities in Chibougamau, Quebec. Half
the core sampled is sent to ALS Chemex in Val d'Or, Quebec, for
analysis with appropriate standards, duplicates and replicates
used for quality control purposes. The other half of the core is
retained for future reference.
The Company maintains a strategic focus on base metal exploration
in prospective areas that also feature infrastructure favourable
for mining development. Accordingly, its work is directed at projects
in historic mining areas of Quebec, Ontario, and in the Central
Belt of Newfoundland.
