Gold Mountain Extends Permitted Drilling Zone and Begins Phase 2 Exploration Program
Gold Mountain Mining Corp. announced receiving its Notice of Work permit, paving the way for an expanded Phase 2 exploration program at the Elk Gold Project. The program allows for 10,000m of drilling beyond the Siwash North Zone, targeting deep, high-grade mineralization, including the 1300 vein. The company aims to enhance resource potential while continuing to relog historical core for additional insights. This milestone positions Gold Mountain to explore new, high-potential zones and develop a bulk tonnage resource.
- Received Notice of Work permit for expanded exploration.
- 10,000m drill program allows targeting of high-grade areas.
- Successful Phase 1 indicated high-grade mineralization, with grades up to 124 g/t.
- None.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 6, 2021 / Gold Mountain Mining Corp. ("Gold Mountain" or the "Company") (TSXV:GMTN)(OTCQB:GMTNF)(FRA:5XFA) is pleased to announce it has received its Notice of Work ("NoW") permit, allowing it to expand its 2021 exploration program at its
Highlights:
- Gold Mountain receives authorization for an expanded Phase 2 exploration program allowing it to drill outside the Siwash North Zone.
- Phase 2 includes 10,000m of drilling and continues to relog high interest historical core.
- The NoW allows the company to continue chasing the deep, high grade mineralization of the "Mother shoot" zone as well as other satellite regions of the property.
"This is fantastic news as we move into our next 10,000m drill program at the Elk," commented CEO, Kevin Smith. "With this Notice of Work, we now have a lot more optionality to target deep, high-grade zones, particularly down-dip of the 1300 vein. It also opens up other satellite areas we've identified as being highly prospective for vein extensions and new discoveries. In this Phase 2 program we have 5 holes planned for our elusive zone with the intention of developing a more bulk tonnage style resource, to compliment our high grade sulphide mineralization. Our focus remains to continue unlocking shareholder value by aggressively growing the Elk deposit, while rapidly moving through development and into commercial production. Stayed tuned for a very exciting second half of 2021 as we continue building out BC's next high grade Gold and Silver producer."
Notice of Work
The Company has received its Notice of Work ("NoW") from the Ministry of Energy Mines and Low Carbon Innovation, allowing them to transition to Phase 2 of their Drill program which targets areas outside the current Mine Permit Area in the south portion of the Siwash North Zone.
Previously, the Company could only drill within its Mine Permit boundaries, hindering its ability to target certain high-grade areas of the Elk Gold Project. With this milestone, Gold Mountain can move its drill pads further south of the Siwash North Zone, allowing the Company to explore high-interest satellite zones and continue chasing the 1300 vein deeper, targeting the high-grade mineralization at the Elk.
Phase 2 Exploration Program
In Phase 1 of Gold Mountain's drill program, the Company focused on the Siwash North Zone with predictable, step out and infill drilling to methodically add ounces to the resource. The Company hit significant mineralized intercepts in
The 10,000m Phase 2 drill program targets extensions of high-grade mineralization the Company consistently encountered during its Phase 1 program. The image below presents a broad overview of the permitted zones and planned targets at Siwash North:
Elk Gold Project's Multi-Phased Drill Program
The Company is also drilling the Elusive Zone located approximately 4km from the Siwash North Zone where historic high-grade soil geochemical samples indicate promising new potential at the Elk Gold Project.
Phase 2 Re-Logging
The Company has begun the Phase 2 process of re-logging historic core, digitizing historic data and updating the geological interpretation. Given the past success of the Phase 1 re-logging of historical core, which unveiled undocumented core samples as high as 216 g/t, Gold Mountain plans to continue to relog and resample core from previous operators in areas identified as high-interest to the Company.
