December 1 2008 - Gravity West Mining Corp. (TSX-V: GRW) is pleased to announce it has commenced a ground gravity survey on the first priority aeromagnetic targets E1, E2, and F on the Saint Urbain Titanium Project.
Géosig Inc. of Quebec is contracted to complete a 50 line-km of ground gravity survey on three high priority targets. The survey will consist of 100 m line spacing and 50 m stations totalling approximately 1,000 stations. Field crews were mobilized to the property on November 24.
The gravity survey currently in progress is using a Lacoste & Romberg G Model gravity meter. Field gravity readings are being taken every 50 m. Field data is linked to a base station established on site. Repeat readings will be taken as a proof of the integrity of the acquisition systems. Repeats consist of re-occupying a station of the previous days surveying. The positioning and levelling is being done with two Trimble RTDGPS (RTK Model R8GNSS) base station systems. A GPS base station is established with the on line service SCRS-PPP system.
Livio Susin, President of Gravity West, says: "I am pleased with the progress of our exploration program at Saint Urbain titanium project. We have collected significant amount of exploration data on the property within a short time frame which will help in moving this project forward."
