Searchlight Resources Completes Drill Program on Henning-Maloney Gold Target
Searchlight Resources Inc. has completed its initial drilling program at the Henning-Maloney gold target in Saskatchewan, consisting of three diamond drill holes totaling 601 meters. Drilling results are expected to align with historical data from 1964. The drill is now being moved to the Beatty South VMS copper target, which has promising geophysical signatures for mineralization. The company also issued stock options for 2,050,000 shares at $0.10, valid until March 12, 2026, subject to regulatory approval.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 12, 2021 / Searchlight Resources Inc. ("Searchlight" or the "Company") (TSXV:SCLT)(OTC PINK:CNYCF) is pleased to announce that the planned drill program has been completed on the Henning-Maloney gold target located 6 kilometres south of Creighton, Saskatchewan, in the historic Flin Flon mining camp.
The program of three NQ diamond drill holes totaling 601 metres has been completed at the past-producing Henning-Maloney Gold Mine. Sampling and logging are continuing and will be completed within a week.
"It is great to have the first phase of drilling complete and the drill on the road to Beatty South", stated Stephen Wallace, President and CEO of Searchlight. "The drilling went smoothly, and the core geology closely matches the 1964 historical drill logs, indicating that Searchlight is in correct location to verify the past gold results."
The diamond drill is currently being transported to the Beatty South VMS copper target, which is located within the Flin Flon North claims, approximately 15 kilometres northwest of Creighton, Saskatchewan, and the historic Flin Flon mining camp (Map 1). This pilot drill hole is based on systematic geophysics programs including airborne, UAV and ground surveys. Additional airborne targets have been defined along a four-kilometer strike length and are now being integrated into Searchlight's Flin Flon North database to determine areas for future ground geophysics follow-up.
‘The Beatty South target has the conductance and magnetic signatures typically associated with VMS mineralization in the Flin Flon - Snow Lake Greenstone Belt. In addition, there are other targets identified along this same geophysical trend, so if there is success with the pilot hole, it does open up an entire prospective trend for further exploration", stated Peter Dueck, Director of Searchlight and former Chief Geophysicist for Hudbay Minerals Inc. in Flin Flon, Manitoba.
