Eureka Stakes Additional Claims in BC and Yukon
Eureka Stakes Additional Claims in BC and Yukon
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 11, 2017) - Eureka Resources Inc. (TSXV: EUK) ("Eureka" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has added to its claims in the Klondike area of the Yukon and in the Cariboo Gold
District in British Columbia.
The Yukon properties addition was staked in an area close to the Sheba and Ophir Claims. The ETTA 1-24 claims, staked in
early May 2017, cover the south flank of the Indian River valley as well as tributaries of Eureka Creek, both of which support
highly productive active placer operations. The ETTA property is underlain mainly by Permian Snowcap Assemblage sediments
and lesser units of Permian Sulphur Creek Assemblage gneisses and intrusive rocks; these assemblages extend to the
northwest and underlie much of the historic Klondike placer gold district. Eureka included the newly staked ETTA block in its
recent airborne geophysical surveying program.
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has received approval for two Yukon Mineral Exploration Grants totalling
$80,000 which will provide up to $40,000 on each of the Tak and Sheba properties target definition exploration. In order to earn
the grants the Company must complete eligible expenditures amounting to at least $80,000 on each claim block ($160,000
total). It is anticipated that the work will be carried out commencing in mid-July 2017.
Michael Sweatman Eureka's President and CEO stated, "It is government support like this
for mining companies that makes the
Yukon one of the best jurisdictions in which
to explore and invest."
The Cariboo properties addition was staked to tie onto the CKN claims acquired earlier this year, which are adjacent to the
Gibraltar Mine property operated by Taseko Mines Ltd.
The new staking adds 490.89 hectares, bringing the total claim block to
1,847.14 hectares contained in 4 claims. The new staking at CKN covers the balance of a magnetic anomaly identified in British
Columbia government data.
Gold Creek 2017 Drilling Program
The Company expects that final assay results from the 2017 drill program at its Gold Creek Property ("Gold Creek" or the
"Property") located in the Cariboo Mining District, near Likely, British Columbia will be received in approximately two weeks and
will be released when compiled. The drill program consisted of three holes totalling 331 meters.
