NEWS RELEASE KEX2010-22
KENT RECEIVES CHECK ASSAYS OF 110.76 G/T AU AND 120.52 G/T AU IN HOLE BN003 AT BUNARRA PROSPECT, GNAWEEDA GOLD PROJECT.
Kent Exploration Inc. (the Company or Kent) reports that due to the intersection of bonanza grades in diamond drill hole (DDH) BN003, the intersection pulps were submitted to Genalysis Laboratories, (Genalysis) of Perth, Australia for check assays. BN003 was drilled at the Bunarra Prospect, Gnaweeda Gold Project by Archean Star Resources Australia Pty Ltd, (Archean) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and results reported in the Companys news release KEX2010-14.
With the exception of the bonanza grade assay reported in KEX2010-14, which increased from 99.1 g/t Au over 1 meter to 110.76 g/t Au and 120.52 g/t Au respectively over the same interval, the balance of the check assay results, as tabulated below, were consistent with those originally reported.
As a result of the check assays, the average gold grade in the originally reported 18 meter (59 ft) intersection from 115 meters to 133 meters increased from 11.09 g/t Au to 12.34 g/t Au, that includes 4 meters (13 ft) at 39.83 g/t Au, (inclusive of a 1 meter intersection (3.3 ft) at 110.13 g/t Au average), 1 meter (3.3 ft) at 24.91 g/t Au and 3m (10 ft) at 7.47 g/t Au.

The Company notes that aside from the above tabulations, anomalous gold was present in substantial areas of the core, including the following intersections.
Original assays were conducted by ALS Chemex (Australia) using 50g sample weight, fire assay with AA finish and ore grade using 30g sample weight, fire assay with AA finish. Pulps were reassayed by Genalysis using 50g sample weight, fire assay with AA finish and ore grade using 30g sample weight, fire assay with AA finish. Average grades were calculated using the weighted averages over the entire width with no upper or lower cut-offs.
DDH BN003, which bottomed in mineralization, was drilled at a -55 degree angle, with mineralization dipping steeply towards the drill hole to near-vertical; therefore the true width is expected to be approximately 80-85% of the reported intersections. Mineralization remains open along strike and at depth.
The Gnaweeda Gold Project consists of several gold prospects, including Turnberry in the north, which has an identified gold-bearing zone approximately 2.5 km (1.65 miles) along strike and 750 meters (0.46 miles) in width, St. Annes, and Bunarra in the south, as well as other known gold-bearing prospects. Eleven additional targets have been identified based upon geophysical data.
