Alianza extends mineralization at high-grade KRL gold property,
Golden Triangle, BC
High-grade gold mineralization identified 100 metres from showing area
Zone hosting veins may be 800 metres in length
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Alianza Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: ANZ) (OTC: TARSF) (“Alianza” or
the “Company”) reports results of the 2019 exploration program at the KRL gold property, located in
British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle. This program consisted of mapping, prospecting and rock
and soil geochemical sampling in order to provide context and guide further exploration in the vicinity of
the high grade KRL gold showing. The 2019 program identified additional high-grade gold-bearing
quartz veins approximately 100 metres southeast of the main showing area, returning 9.2 g/t and 35.7
g/t gold from grab and locally-derived float samples. Importantly, these veins may be part of a zone
which may be as much as 800 metres in length and 40 metres wide. The property lies near the junction
of McLymont Creek and the Iskut River, approximately 5 km from the McLymont Creek and Forrest
Kerr power generation plants. Road access exists less than 2 km from the property boundary.
“The 2019 program was undertaken to provide context for the high-grade gold-bearing quartz veins at
the KRL Showing and to identify targets for subsequent exploration programs,” stated Jason Weber,
P.Geo., President and CEO. “The recognition of a trend of mineralized veins was an important step in
defining an exploration target for us to focus on in 2020.”
Mapping has identified a northeast trending fault-bounded corridor that encompasses the main KRL
gold showing as well as other high-grade vein occurrences. The current interpretation is that the main
KRL gold-bearing quartz vein trend is controlled by the contact between massive andesites and
sedimentary rocks, at a high angle to the corridor. Rock samples from the 2019 program, up to 100 m
southeast of the KRL showing returned 9.2 g/t and 35.7 g/t gold from visibly unmineralized white and
smokey quartz veins, closely resembling previously sampled high-grade gold-bearing veins.
A total of 30 rock samples and 358 soil samples were collected in the 2019 program. In addition to the
high-grade rock samples several gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies northeast of the KRL were defined
by the 2019 program that will require follow-up in 2020.
The KRL Property was acquired in late 2018 to investigate high grade gold-bearing quartz veins
identified in the 1980s when a series of hand trenches were excavated to sample quartz veins 10 – 100
cm in width returning multiple >60 g/t gold results, including a high of 248.1 g/t gold from a 10 cm vein.
At the time, at least 11 veins were identified over a 400 m by 600 m area.
