Orogen Royalties Acquires the Firenze Gold-Silver Project in Nevada
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 21, 2023 / (TSXV:OGN)(OTCQX:OGNRF) Orogen Royalties Inc. ("Orogen" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has acquired the Firenze gold-silver project in Nevada.
Firenze Project Highlights
- Firenze is a 7.4 square kilometre gold-silver project located on BLM ground 170 kilometres east of Reno, Nevada
- Banded quartz-adularia epithermal veins, up to 1.5 metres wide, outcrop over a 1.5 square-kilometre area
- Grab sample highlights of outcropping epithermal veins returned 9.3 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 1250 g/t silver
- Dump sample highlights from historical production in the 1860s returned 44.0 g/t gold and 534 g/t silver, 22.5 g/t gold and 1825 g/t silver, and 17.7 g/t gold and 97.8 g/t silver
- Gold mineralization is open under cover to the east and is prospective for both bulk-tonnage and high-grade vein mineralization
- The Firenze property was made available for exploration under the National Defense Authorization Act in December 2022 and was acquired through staking under the Orogen-Altius Nevada Alliance
Orogen CEO, Paddy Nicol commented, "The Firenze gold project is a look back to mineral exploration opportunities in Nevada over 40 years ago. The property has hallmarks of a high-quality gold-silver exploration target with outcropping epithermal veins over a large area, bonanza gold and silver grades, and excellent infrastructure and access. Firenze is unexplored by modern day exploration methods and undrilled."
The Firenze project is available for sale or option.
About the Firenze Project
The 740-hectare Firenze property is located in central Nevada, 170 kilometres east of Reno (Figure 1). The claims are located on road accessible BLM-managed ground with no conservation designation.
The property contains a system of up to 1.5-metre-wide precious metal rich epithermal veins outcropping over 1.5 square-kilometres (Figure 2). At surface, these veins display classic epithermal textures with banded quartz and adularia returning up to 9.3 g/t gold and 1250 g/t silver. Dump samples from limited artisanal production in the 1860s returned values of 44.0 g/t gold and 534 g/t silver, 22.5 g/t gold and 1825 g/t silver, and 17.7 g/t gold and 97.8 g/t silver.
The generally west-northwest trending veins are hosted within the tuff of Elevenmile Canyon, a sequence of Oligocene aged intra caldera volcaniclastics. These variably welded tuffs display localized silicification and argillization at surface associated with elevated gold and anomalous mercury, arsenic, antimony, and lead indicating the potential for disseminated gold mineralization on the property.
The gold bearing veins at Firenze and associated alteration, including the strongest illite signals, likely continue under shallow post mineral cover to the east beneath which the system remains open ended.
The veins have seen no modern exploration as the region was released from a Wilderness Study Area (WSA) in December 2022 by an act of Congress after more than 40 years in that designation.
