Rhea-AI Summary

Austin Gold Corp. (NYSE American: AUST) has commenced a drilling program at its Miller Project in Nevada, targeting Carlin-type gold mineralization.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 26, 2023) - Austin Gold Corp. (NYSE American: AUST) ("Austin" or the "Company") announces that the Company has commenced the drilling program at its Miller Project located at the southern end of the Carlin gold trend in Elko County, Nevada. The exploration target is Carlin-type gold mineralization hypothesized to occur beneath Quaternary gravels and Tertiary volcanic rocks that may be indicated by gold and multi-element biogeochemical anomalies.

The Miller Project is located approximately 30 miles (50 kilometers) south-southwest of Elko, Nevada on the eastern flank of the Pinion Range. The project comprises a large area of pediment with post-mineral cover, and available biogeochemical, geophysical, and geological data in this area support the potential for a gold discovery under that cover.

The drilling program is planned to consist of 6,000 to 7,000 feet in four holes, each hole to be 1,500 to 2,000 feet deep. It is expected that the program will take up to four weeks to complete, with assay results to follow.
