SILVER RANGE ACQUIRES THE TESORO PROJECT IN ARIZONA
Silver Range Resources Ltd. has acquired a new high-grade gold prospect in Arizona.
The Tesoro project is 70 kilometres northwest of Wickenberg in Yavapai county and consists of
exploration permits covering three sections of Arizona state land. The property includes the
historical Organ Grinder mine and Big Ben mine showings, which host gold in two settings. Quartz
veins at both showings returned historic assays from grab and chip samples up to 52 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au). In
contrast, at the Organ Grinder mine, a wide zone of shallow-dipping, lower-grade mineralization
returned best historical trench sample results of 33 metres at 1.85 g/t Au, and historical reverse circulation
drill hole intersections of 4.6 metres at 1.06 g/t Au and 3.0 metres at 2.54 g/t Au. This lower-grade zone
was defined over a strike length of 160 metres and is open on strike and downdip. Soil sampling
at the Big Ben mine showing proved to be an effective tool with historical soil geochemical surveys
outlining a 250-metre-long gold-in-soil anomaly with peak responses of 1,500 parts per billion (ppb) Au, open on strike.
The Tesoro project is underlain by Mid-Proterozoic coarse crystalline, porphyritic granite and
granodiorite cut by dominantly north to northwest-striking steeply dipping structures. Known gold
mineralization occurs in structures deviating from the dominant trend. Hematite alteration is
reported with the known mineralization.
The Organ Grinder mine showing is the attributed location of mineralization discovered by three
itinerant Italian musicians in the mid-1860s. They perished shortly after their discovery while
providing only general information as to its location. The Big Ben mine showing is the attributed
location of a mine discovered by Ben McLendon, one of the earliest American prospectors in
Arizona. He located and worked a mine in the same general area of the Organ Grinder mine until
his demise without disclosing its exact location. In the 1980s, the property was explored by New
Tyee Resources Ltd. and HiMac Resources Ltd., which conducted soil surveys, sampling, trenching
(six trenches) and reverse circulation drilling (seven holes). Sage Gold Inc. briefly explored the property
in 2006, reporting rock and soil sample results.
Silver Range is completing the exploration permitting process and intends to conduct geological
mapping, soil geochemical surveys and geophysical surveys in preparation for subsequent
trenching and drilling to explore this property.

Range's website.
