SILVER RANGE DEFINES AN EXPLORATION DRILL TARGET AT EAST GOLDFIELD
Silver Range Resources Ltd. has
acquired and analyzed a large historical drill data set covering its East Goldfield property in Nye
county, Nevada. Using this data, Silver Range has defined an exploration target near the Tom Keane mine.
The data set includes extensive information in annual exploration summaries from a large
exploration program conducted in the Goldfield district from 1993 to 1995, which included drill
results from prior programs by other operators. These data are in the public domain, archived at the
Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology. The data set also contains drill results reported by Atac
Resources Ltd. (Atac Resources news release dated Feb. 22, 2022) and Metallic Ventures
Gold Inc. (Metallic Ventures Gold news release dated July 21, 2003). With these data, Silver
Range assembled a drill database consisting of 66 historical drill holes within the current property
boundaries. Full results are not available for all of these drill holes, but 36 of the holes with known
collars have 63 reported gold intersections. In addition, 28 intersections were reported in nine
historical holes drilled by Metallic Ventures Gold, for which collar locations are not known.
Notable intersections in the database include 4.57 metres at 8.23 grams per tonne gold, 1.5 m at 36.28 g/t Au and 3.0
m at 5.30 g/t Au, and long intervals of mineralization include 22.9 m at 2.88 g/t Au, 44.2 m at
1.03 g/t Au and 20.5 m at 1.22 g/t Au.
The East Goldfield property is 14 kilometres east of Goldfield, Nev., and centred on a west-northwest-trending strong alunite alteration anomaly visible in short-wave infrared (SWIR)
ASTER imagery, and a coincident gold-bismuth-copper soil geochemical anomaly. The most significant
historical mine workings on the property are at the Tom Keane mine, south of this central anomaly.
Workings there consist of a 500-foot inclined shaft and 2,860 feet of underground drifts on four
levels. A 1934 examination report listed samples returning 11.6 m at 2.88 g/t Au on the 219 level
and 3.04 m at 4.11 g/t Au on the 319 level. Known drilling to date has concentrated south of the
central alteration and geochemical anomaly in the area of the Tom Keane mine and both east and
west of this site.
Analysis of the drill holes, for which geometric and assay information is available, indicates
the great majority of gold intersections occur in a relatively flat-lying horizon in the Milltown
andesite at a depth of 120 to 180 m in the region south of the central alteration anomaly. The
geometry of this layer may reflect deposition in a permissive horizon within the gently dipping
stratigraphy or control by a paleo water table. This finding greatly simplifies exploration targeting
in this region of the property.
Tom Keane mine exploration target
In an area approximately 800 m by 200 m in extent, including the Tom Keane mine, 19 drill hole
intersections from 26 drill holes were used to define an exploration target, consisting of 2.26 million tonnes
to 6.6 million tonnes grading between 0.34 g/t Au and 0.62 g/t Au and containing between 55,000 to 72,500 ounces gold.
The quantity and grade are conceptual in nature, and there has not been sufficient exploration to
define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being
delineated as a mineral resource. The exploration target has not been evaluated for reasonable
prospects of eventual economic extraction.
A video presentation describing results to date at East Goldfield, including a description of the
exploration target, is available on Silver Range's website.
Future work
Silver Range intends to conduct underground sampling and geological mapping in accessible
portions of the Tom Keane mine in the near future.
