Alianza to launch drill campaign at Haldane Silver Project, Keno Hill District,
Yukon Territory
• Drilling to start in October
• Phase One targeting Middlecoff and West Fault targets
• Phase Two drilling planned for Spring 2021
Vancouver, BC, October 1, 2020 - Alianza Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: ANZ, OTC: TARSF) (“Alianza” or
the “Company”) is pleased to report that planning and logistical preparations are underway to
commence a P hase One drilling program in October /November at the Company’s wholly -owned
Haldane high-grade silver target located in the historic Keno Hill Mining District of Yukon Territory. The
8,579 hectare Haldane Property is located 25 km west of Keno City, YT in the western portion of the
Keno Hill Silver District. Exploration at Haldane is targeting extensions of historic high- grade silver
production as well as newly defined targets in new areas of the property.
“Our 2019 campaign at Hal dane was very successful, identifying a new silver-bearing vein system at
the Bighorn Zone as well as extending historic high- grade silver mineralization at the Middlecoff Zone,”
stated Jason Weber, P.Geo, P resident and CEO of Alianza. “ While Bighorn remai ns an important
target, we will focus on building on the success at Middlecoff and the West Fault Target which had one
historic hole that intercepted 320 g/t Ag and 1.12 g/t Au over 2.20 metres.”
A total of 10 holes (approximately 2,500 metres) are planned in the current program with Phase One
consisting of 6 holes this fall and Phase Two continuing in the spring after assessing the results from
Phase One. The Phase One program will focus on two areas: the Middlecoff and West Fault targets,
both centrally located in the Mt Haldane Vein System (MHVS) series of vein- faults. The MHVS hosts
high-grade silver mineralization in the core of the property , where the original high -grade silver
discoveries were made and mined over 100 years ago. A follow-up Phase Two drilling program will be
undertaken in the spring of 2021.
Drilling at the Middlecoff Zone will target a high- grade shoot of silver mineralization intersected in the
2019 program and sampled historically in underground workings. The 2019 program intersected a 1.02
metre intersection that averaged 455.0 g/t silver in HLD19-16 and a separate intersection of 996 g/t
silver, 1.486 g/t gold and 28.35% lead over 0.35 metres in a separate interval from the same hole.
Three holes are planned to expand upon these intersections.
A previous operator intersected 320 g/t silver, 1.1 g/t gold and 0.7% lead over 2.20 metres at the
West Fault, one kilometre north of the Middlecoff Zone. This 2011 drillhole intersection has not been
followed up. Three holes are planned to test this mineralization along strike and down dip on the West
Fault vein structure.
The 2020 program will focus on these two areas in order to improve efficiencies in logistics through the
autumn campaign. New target areas such as the Bighorn Zone discovery, where the first and only drill
6212913 v2
hole intersected 2.35 metres of 125 g/t silver and 4.39 % lead, will be tested in a 2021 Phase Two
program, investigating the target foot print of the 900 by 250 m etre multi-element soil geochemical
anomaly encompassing four known mineralized structures.
