/CNW/ - Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. and Mineral Mountain
Resources (SD) Inc. ("
Mineral Mountain
" or the "
Company
") (TSXV: "MMV") is pleased to
announce that the
1600 m
"trunk hole",
ST19-011
, designed to test two historical high grade gold
zones (Target 1 and Target 2) is progressing as planned and on target.
Highlights:
Trunk Hole ST19-011 has progressed to
655 m
as of
November 10, 2019
The trunk hole has been drilled mostly in stratigraphic hanging wall rocks (Poverty Gulch
Phyllite) to the Rochford Iron Formation
Variably mineralized, sheared and hydrothermally altered zones were encountered from
374 m
through to
608 m
down hole depth in Trunk Hole ST19-011, and are interpreted to constitute
various anastomosing branches of the target East Limb Shear zone. Details of certain
mineralized intervals are described below:
374 m
-383 m
:
A sheared, brecciated grey quartz-flooded alteration zone (60% vein
material/40% altered phyllite) was intersected. The zone contains medium grained to coarse
arsenopyrite throughout. Locally arsenopyrite is semi-massive to massive (>50%) but
comprises 3-7% overall through the interval. Subordinate pyrrhotite ranges from 1-3%. (

-
457 m
:
White to smoky grey quartz vein with several per cent pyrrhotite, trace
arsenopyrite and hydrothermal chlorite. (

Samples have been routinely submitted to ALS Laboratory for fire assay gold and for pathfinder
arsenic analyses.
The Company has yet to receive any analytical results for this hole.
The Company is also pleased to announce it is now listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Qualified Persons
The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian
regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed and approved by
Nelson
W. Baker
, P.Eng., the President and CEO of Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. and a Qualified
Person for this project. All exploration activities at the Rochford Project are carried out under the
strict supervision of
Kevin Leonard
, P.Geo., also a Qualified Person for this project.
Quality Control
Drill core samples are transported, handled and stored with chain of custody procedures. Core is
sawn or split in representative halves with one half submitted to the laboratory for analysis and the
second half saved for archival purposes. Typical core samples are 0.5 to 1.5 m in length. Gold (Au)
assays are by 30 g fire assay with atomic absorption finish with a lower limit of 0.005 ppm and
upper limit of 10 ppm. The 48 element geochemical package, including silver (Ag), uses a 4 acid
digestion followed by Induced Coupled Plasma with Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) and
Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), when gold values are greater than 10 ppm then the sample is
reanalyzed using fire assay with a gravimetric finish. All over limits are also analyzed using the
screened metallic method.
The laboratory for the Standby Project is ALS located in
Reno, Nevada
. ALS is a certified laboratory
that used standard reference material and duplicate sampling to ensure quality control. Mineral
Mountain routinely sends a set of 4 blind standards as well as one blank sample with every shipment
of core. The results of the analysis of the standard material are continuously reviewed to ensure
quality assurance
About Mineral Mountain Resources and the Rochford Gold Project
Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd., through its wholly owned subsidiary Mineral Mountain Resources
(SD) Inc., is focused on the exploration and, if warranted, development of its 100%-owned
Rochford Gold Project
situated along the highly prospective
Homestake Gold Belt
in the Black
Hills of
South Dakota, U.S.A.
The Rochford Project covers in excess of 7,500 acres and covers
five major trends of structurally thickened auriferous iron formation comparable to the
geological setting of the ledge-type gold mineralization developed at the Homestake Mine.
Magnetic 3D modelling of the Company's airborne survey in 2013, combined with surface geological
mapping, and the compilation of historic drilling, highlights 3 high priority exploration targets trends,
including the Standby Mine Target, coincident with structurally thickened, sheared, gold-bearing iron
formation within the Mineral mountain land package.
Since 2013, the Company has continued to expand its land position in the
Rochford
gold district by
professional claim staking and by purchasing strategically located private properties that fall along
two of the major sub-parallel structural trends that host Ledge-type gold mineralization. The
Company now owns the largest land position in the
Rochford
greenstone belt and now possesses by
far the largest and most comprehensive database for the district in modern day exploration history,
including the first time that all available data has been compiled and synthesized in modern GIS and
3D imaging software! The Rochford Project is vastly under-explored and has the potential to host
several district scale gold discoveries.
