TORONTO, CANADA –October 5, 2011 – Mr. George A. Brown, President and CEO of Cache Exploration Inc. (TSX-V:CAY), is pleased to announce that results have been received from a preliminary geological assessment and rock sampling program completed by a crew of four Cache personnel in early August on the three Cache properties in the Stewart Gold-Silver-Copper District of British Columbia (see attached map). This region is host to an abundance of gold, silver, and base metal deposits and previously producing mines in environments related to volcanogenic massive sulphides and epithermal and intrusion-related veins and skarns. Dr. David Lentz, P.Geo., is a Qualified Person as described in National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for the technical information contained in this news release. Prospecting by Cache Exploration Inc. has revealed several samples anomalous in gold and other base metals at their Quinn Eskay Property in northwestern British Columbia. Samples were prepared by Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Stewart, BC then forwarded by Activation to their Ancaster, Ontario facility to be analyzed by Instrumental Neutron Activation (INAA) and Inductively Coupled Plasma. Standard samples were included as part of our Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) program. The Quinn Eskay Property includes four claims covering 4,349 acres approximately 50km northwest of the town of Stewart, BC. A fairly well exposed area towards the north of the property hosts sulphide-bearing quartz-carbonate veins, within sheared amphibolites and metasediments interlayered with quartzofeldspathic gneiss. In outcrop, the veins are exposed as under 5cm wide with cobbles of vein in talus up to 10cm in width; pyrite, specular hematite, and sulphide weathering is common. Talus grab samples in the area yielded gold (Au) values of 0.83 g/t Au and 0.76 g/t Au. Lower grade samples include a talus grab sample with 0.37 g/t Au that is associated with 55ppm Mo and 0.17% lead (Pb) and a composite talus grab sample with 0.25 g/t Au associated with 10.7 ppm silver (Ag) and greater than 0.5% Pb. A grab sample from outcrop further south on the property revealed 0.45 g/t Au from a medium-grained, rusted, mesocratic tonalite hosting quartz veins. These encouraging results warrant further exploration on this property that is approximately 10 km northwest of the Granduc Mine, which is historically reported as producing 15.2 million tonnes of gold, silver, and copper ore and 2km south of the Doc Property that has published assay results of up to 44.66 g/t Au and 219 g/t Ag. The Stewart South and the GSM Property, respectively, are a group of 3 contiguous claims covering 3,360 acres and one detached claim covering 719 acres, which are located less than 20km southeast of Stewart, BC. These claims cover several formations of the Jurassic Hazelton Group, which is known to host several styles of gold mineralization in past producing mines in northwestern BC, including the Silbak Premier Mine and the Eskay Creek Mine. A limited number of samples containing disseminated pyrite were taken over these properties. Due to the recent retreat of a glacier, a large skarn-related mineralized zone was identified covering approximately 100 metres by 100 metres of exposure. This skarn zone is thought to potentially continue beneath the retreating glacier. Skarn related units vary from pyritic porcellanitic rocks to hedenbergite-actinolite skarn with local epithermal sulphide-quartz vein sets overprinting the skarn and skarnoid rocks, and related high-level porphyritic intrusions. This sulphide-bearing skarn zone revealed minimal gold and base metal mineralization even though the area to the west includes 10 mineral occurrences that are rich in gold and base-metal mineralization. The geochemistry of the skarn zone did reveal increased Ba, Mn, and S that is characteristic of distal hydrothermal mineralization. Mr. Brown states:”These initial results indicating good potential for gold and silver mineralization will be used to develop our 2012 exploration plans for this area.” Additional information is available under the company's profile at www.sedar.com and on the Cache website at www.cacheexploration.com For additional information please contact us by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
