PHENOM SHARES HISTORIC DRILL RESULTS FROM ITS KING SOLOMON GOLD PROJECT, NEVADA
Phenom Resources Corp. has released historic drill hole results from its recently optioned King Solomon gold project in central Nevada, 120 kilometres (75 miles) southwest of Eureka, Nev., and 38 km (24 miles) southwest for the company's Dobbin gold project. Over that last year, Dave Mathewson, company director and geological adviser, has deliberately and purposefully guided Phenom to build up a gold portfolio rivalled by few in Nevada with the acquisitions of the Crescent Valley, Dobbin and King Solomon gold projects.
Like Dobbin, with its recent news of its significant open-ended 900-metre-times-220-metre gold-in-soil anomaly, the King Solomon project covers a regional-scale Carlin-type gold system. To demonstrate the calibre of the King Solomon gold project, the company wishes to provide the attached table, highlighting 11 historic drill holes on King Solomon within an area 425 metres (m) by 250 m (1,400 feet (ft) times 820 ft). Of note are the shallow attractive and consistent thicknesses and grades to the intercepts. Nine of the 11 holes have intercepts starting less than 46 metres (150 ft) from surface and nine of the 11 holes ended in mineralization within the better host rock unit, the Paleozoic carbonates, demonstrating the open opportunity at depth.
Mr. Mathewson, accomplished gold finder, states: "There is excellent potential for discovery of significant Carlin-type gold deposits at King Solomon. Previous explorers appear to not have understood the full extent of and significance of the stratigraphy or gold model. Typical of earlier 1990s explorers, drilling was largely limited to shallow tests of 90 m to 122 m deep (300 to 400 feet) and was primarily focused on the potential within the overlying Tertiary volcanic rocks. Significant near surface gold intercepts within Tertiary volcanics which, noteworthy as they are, suggest a bigger potential within the underlying more permissive Paleozoic carbonate package. Earlier explorers barely penetrated into the more prospective rock units and only scratched the surface of this prospect. The carbonate sequence below the volcanics at King Solomon which I have identified include favourable gold host rock formations such as the Denay, Rabbit Hill, Roberts Mountain and Pogonip limestone formations, with a collective thickness well in excess of 1,000 feet. These rock units represent a very significant potential host package to gold deposits that have not been significantly drill tested here."
Mr. Mathewson continues: "Drilling to date has confirmed the Carlin-replacement-style of mineralization and intercepts have approached desirable gold grades. The presence of permissive host rocks, Carlin-style epithermal-style alteration and geochemistry of up to very high levels of arsenic, antimony, mercury and locally gold, all indicate gold deposit prospectivity. I lean strongly toward believing the existence of one or more gold deposits are present in the area."
The company has initiated permitting steps for drilling.
