Bitterroot Resources Starts Drilling at the Coyote Sinter Gold Project
Bitterroot Resources Ltd. has announced the mobilization of a drill rig for its Coyote Sinter project in Elko County, Nevada. The drilling will test the Chevron fault with three HQ-sized core holes, reaching depths of 200-250 metres to assess potential high-grade gold and silver mineralization. This initial drilling program, expected to last 4-6 weeks, follows earlier shallow drilling that revealed significant anomalous levels of gold and other elements. Additionally, the company has secured leases on 280 acres of adjacent land, expanding its control over approximately three kilometres of strike length.
- Commencement of drilling at Coyote Sinter project.
- Testing deeper levels of the Chevron fault may reveal high-grade mineralization.
- Expansion of land control with new minerals and surface leases.
- Successful previous shallow drilling indicating significant mineralization.
- None.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 30, 2022 / Bitterroot Resources Ltd.'s (TSXV:BTT) management is pleased to announce that its drilling contractor has mobilized a drill rig, crew and support equipment to the Coyote Sinter epithermal gold/silver project in Elko County, Nevada. Coyote Sinter is located in the Independence District, several miles south of the Jerritt Canyon mine property and 5 miles east of the historic Tuscarora mining district.
Drilling will consist of three 500 metre-long (-50 degrees) HQ-sized core holes, along 700 metres of strike length of the Chevron fault. The new holes will test below the previous shallow drilling, which intersected highly anomalous levels of gold, mercury, arsenic and antimony at depths of only 35-75 metres below surface. Three new holes are planned to intersect the Chevron fault approximately 200-250 metres deeper, where epithermal models suggest bonanza-grade gold and silver mineralization could occur. This initial drilling program is expected to be complete in 4-6 weeks. More information on the Coyote Sinter project is available on the Company's website at; https://bitterrootresources.com/projects/nevada/coyote-sinter-gold-property/
In addition, Bitterroot's US subsidiary has entered into minerals and surface leases on 280 acres of adjacent privately-owned lands. The Company now controls approximately three kilometres of prospective strike length on the Chevron fault, together with an untested parallel structure and several fault splays.
