TRENCHING DISCOVERS NEW GOLD ZONE
WITHIN GOLD CORRIDOR
ON THE
GOLDSMITH PROPERTY
January 16, 2019 , Vancouver, BC – Black Tusk Resources Inc. (“Black Tusk” or the
“Company) (C:TUSK) is very pleased with the results of their 2018 trenching and rock
sampling program. Calculated head grades including 14.42 grams per tonne (g/T) gold
from the Arsenopyrite Vein, 5.34 g/T gold from the Black Vein, and 5.26 g/T gold from
Hamburger Vein were reported from the Met -Solve Analytical process (see previous
Black Tusk Resources release for more information).
The areas of the 2018 testing fall within a one kilometre corridor of historic workings, with
more recent exploration having returned very significant gold values from individual
samples. Most of the historic work concentrated on the abundance of quartz veining
exposed along the corridor
The Met -Solve Analytical bench -scale processing of trench samples summarized that
most of the samples are amenable to centrifugal gravity concentration. Gravity
recoverable gold values ranged from 48.9% to 85.9%. In particular, the Hamburger Vein
system showed the highest percentage of gold recovery by the gravity processing.
An elongate 450 metre zone of initial high interest is outlined by the Hamburger -
Arsenopyrite-Black Vein system. The mineralization and geology exposed in trenching of
these gold-bearing structures indicate that they may be aligned along a controlling shear
zone. The structure contains an abundance of quartz veining as well as sulphide minerals
including arsenopyrite, pyrite, and pyrrhotite. The zone presents as a high level target for
future work.
Black Tusk is looking forward to further exploring the vein system of initial high interest,
as well as continuing to explore the corridor of historic mining on the Goldsmith Property.
Planning for the 2019 exploration season is now underway.
