/CNW/ -
Silver Range Resources Ltd.
(TSX-V:SNG) ("Silver Range") announces that in April, geological
mapping, sampling and geochemical surveys were completed at the Yuge property in Humboldt County, Nevada. The results from this work are
pending. The Yuge property is under option to Trifecta Gold Ltd. and hosts high grade gold drill intercepts below shallow historical mine workings.
Silver Range is currently completing a reconnaissance program on targets elsewhere in Nevada. The reconnaissance program is being carried out
by two crews investigating targets with reported high-grade (> 5 g/t Au) gold mineralization. Results from this program should be available by the
end of June.
In
Nunavut
, an exploration program is scheduled to begin in July covering prospective stratigraphy including Meso-Archean conglomerate-hosted,
high grade gold occurrences similar in style to that found in
Australia's
Pilbara region by NOVO Resources Corp. A compilation of historical
geological mapping and sampling by the Geological Survey of
Canada
, the NWT Geoscience Office and the Nunavut Geoscience Office has
identified a 120 kilometre long favourable rock unit with gold occurrences similar in style to that found at Silver Range's Tree River project.
Previous work by BHP Billiton and Strongbow Exploration at Tree River was successful in identifying a 4.8 kilometre-long, 2.7 to 2.9 billion year
old quartz pebble conglomerate particularly enriched in gold. Assessment reports filed by BHP and Strongbow document local occurrences of
high grade gold returning grab samples up to
142 g/t Au
and channel samples up to
0.35 m
@ 63.15 g/t Au
with a number of locations returning
grab samples in excess of 1 g/t Au.
