Operations update
Silver Range has commenced spring exploration work in Nevada. A crew has mobilized to begin work on generative projects until late May. A
second crew will be mobilized shortly to begin exploration work on the Yuge Property with partner Trifecta Gold Ltd. (TSX-V: TG).
The Yuge Property covers the Columbia and
Juanita Mines
which produced on a small scale between 1870 and 1937. Most recent reported
production was 2,350 tons in 1936-37 from the Columbia Mine. Gold on the Yuge property occurs with arsenopyrite in mesothermal quartz veins
and adjacent wall rock in sub-parallel shear zones up to
60 m
wide and over
1,200 m
long. Selected surface grab samples collected on the
property by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology reported assays up to
15 g/t Au
and similar samples collected by Homestake Mining
Company reported assays up to
53.0 g/t Au
. Highest gold grades were reported from near-surface oxidized vein material where documented run-
of-mine sorted ore assayed greater than
34 g/t Au
and reported sampling of a crown pillar returned
2.4 m
@ 16.8 g/t Au
including
0.6 m
@ 50.7
g/t Au
. Sulphide ore occurs at depths greater than
30 m
with arsenopyrite-rich material reportedly assaying greater than
17.4 g/t Au
. A reported
true-width drill intersection in this material at
49 m
depth returned
3.3 m
@ 9.70 g/t Au
. Historical drilling intersected gold mineralization or open
stopes in all holes reported but only to a maximum depth of 100 metres.
In
Nunavut
, Silver Range intends to conduct prospecting, geological mapping, sampling and geochemical surveys at its wholly-owned Tree River
project during the summer months. Tree River is located 155 km southeast of
Kugluktuk
near the Arctic Ocean. The property is underlain by
mid- to late-Archean gold-bearing conglomerate similar in stratigraphic setting, lithology and style of mineralization to recently discovered gold
mineralization in the Pilbara region of
Australia
by Novo Resources Ltd. Historic sampling by BHP Billiton and Strongbow Exploration Inc.
delineated a 30 metre thick quartz pebble conglomerate over a strike length of at least 4.8 kilometres carrying background gold concentrations of
approximately 100 ppb Au and numerous occurrences of gold returning grab samples assays greater than 1 g/t Au with best results up to
142 g/t
Au
. Channel sample results at the best showing returned up to
0.35 m
@ 63.15 g/t Au
. In addition to the work planned for Tree River, Silver
Range intends to conduct a regional prospecting program to locate similar style mineralization elsewhere in the Anialik Greenstone Belt.
Providence Greenstone Belt Property option terminated
Silver Range has terminated the option to explore the PGB Property (Silver Range press release dated
