/CNW/ - Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. and Mineral Mountain
Resources (SD) Inc. ("
Mineral Mountain
" or the "
Company
") (TSXV: "MMV") is pleased to report
that drilling on its Standby Gold Project has been halted for the holiday period and is scheduled to
resume on or about
January 6th, 2020
. Since controlled drilling started in early October, a total of
1,380 meters of drilling has been completed and over 250 samples have been submitted to the
laboratory for analysis.
Target 1 (Partially Drill Tested)
Drill hole ST19-011 intersected a well mineralized, quartz flooded shear zone between
374 m
and
608 meters immediately overlying the Rochford Iron Formation which hosts the Standby Mine gold
deposit. Variably mineralized, sheared, brecciated 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.
Curt E. Hogge
, the Company's Chief Geologist, who has logged many drill holes in the
Rochford
and
Homestake Mine Districts commented : "The gold/arsenopyrite mineralization from this mineralized
and quartz-flooded shear zone is most unusual and extremely rare because it is hosted in the
Poverty Gulch Formation immediately overlying the highly favourable gold hosted iron formation
which is chemically and physically favourable for the formation of Homestake-style deposits. Based
on our surface mapping and our Leapfrog software drilling down dip and along strike from this
mineralized zone present a very compelling gold target!"
Samples have been routinely submitted to ALS Laboratory for fire assay gold and for pathfinder
arsenic analyses. Analytical results will be released early in 2020.
Planned Program for 2020
The Company plan to drill a series of "wedge holes" off of ST19-011 to test the gold/arsenopyrite
mineralization both down dip and along strike after completing a down hole EM survey of the trunk
hole and the continue to drill test the historical high grade gold mineralization referred to as Target 2
at a vertical depth of about
1,000 m
.
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

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.
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
Standby
Gold Project
situated along the highly prospective
Homestake Gold Belt
in the Black Hills of
South
Dakota, U.S.A.
The Standby Gold 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 Standby Gold Project is vastly under-explored and has the potential to
host several district scale gold discoveries.
