Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Doubleview Capital Corp. (“Doubleview”) (TSX-V: DBV) is pleased to announce an exploration update from its Hat porphyry project, where drilling in the past years has identified a large gold-copper porphyry deposit that remains open in all directions. The Hat project is located in the Sheslay district of northwest BC, Canada, approximately 95 km southwest of Dease Lake.
The latest Hat property update includes the deposit model and revised reported mineralized drill hole intercepts from the Lisle deposit. Doubleview also reveals plans for further exploration of the Hat property's emerging “Hoey Gold” area.
The following revised intercepts are from selected Lisle deposit drill holes, employing up-to-date values for gold, copper, silver and cobalt, that reflect recent commodity prices.*
DH H-022: 418.28 m @ 0.51% CuEq - from 45.5m to 463.8m
Including:
DH H-022: 110.16 m @ 1.01% CuEq - from 304.9m to 415.0m
And
DH H-023: 332.37 m @ 0.56% CuEq - from 67.9m to 400.2m
Including:
DH H-023: 80.07 m @ 1.00% Cu Eq - from 270.6m to 350.7m
* CuEq figures employ the following metal prices: Gold: $1300/oz, Copper: $3.0/lb, Silver: $17/oz, and Cobalt: $35/lb. CuEq. calculations are presented in US dollars and will vary with market and currency fluctuations.

“These latest results offer further evidence of the Hat Project's potential,” said Doubleview CEO Farshad Shirvani. “The extensive mineralized length in some of the drill holes have not yet established limits either laterally or at depth.”
Interpretations of assays and geology of Lisle deposit drill holes and surface samples from Hoey area Gold and Copper showings (News Release dated October 19, 2017) demonstrate possible alignment and continuity between the areas that will be explored in the upcoming exploration season. Plans for resumption of Hat Project drilling are being finalized and will be announced in the near future.
Doubleview has reviewed the cobalt analyses from its 30 drill holes and with values as high as 2293 ppm cobalt concludes that cobalt is important as a pathfinder element that also adds value to the Hat project. Cobalt has many industrial uses and is a basic requirement of many components of the emerging renewable and sustainable energy and automotive industries.
Hat Project Exploration Update:
Doubleview also compiled available data from the Hoey and West Gossan mineral zones that are each located more than one kilometer from the Lisle Zone: both have strong surface mineralization with gold, copper, silver and cobalt values. Neither zone has been investigated by drilling. The areas are being given high priority for exploration when work at the Lisle Zone is resumed. Mr. Shirvani notes that surface samples from the Hoey Gold area have assays as high as 7% copper and 8.1 grams/tonne gold. The Hoey Gold area has the potential to be an important addition to the Hat Project.
Doubleview is financially well positioned to resume its exploration drilling. The Hat project is fully permitted for drilling and the 14 man camp and facilities have been maintained to enable an efficient start-up.
“The recent strong recoveries for copper, gold and most other metals markets has been accompanied by a return to mining profitability and a robust revival of mineral exploration activity. We believe strongly that this will be a pivotal year for the mining industry,” added Mr. Shirvani. “Accordingly, we see another successful year ahead for Doubleview.”
