Black Mammoth Metals Reports High Silver Grades at Amador
Black Mammoth Metals Corporation is thrilled to share the latest results from its rock chip sampling program at the Amador property. The recent tests revealed an astounding maximum of 717 g/t silver, with an overall average of 210.3 g/t from the samples collected. The Amador property, nestled in the scenic beauty of Nevada, showcases the potential for significant silver mineralization.
Sampling Highlights and Methodology
The silver mineralization occurs within a quartz vein shear, which appears to align with a significant geological feature of Devonian sediments. This area has a rich history of silver production; however, extensive exploration has not been carried out to fully assess its potential. Black Mammoth's recent sampling involved 19 rock chip samples from this vein and adjacent historic mining dumps. This comprehensive study aims to validate historical findings and explore the silver potential further.
Assay Results Explained
The assay results returned compelling figures. The 19 samples collectively averaged 210.3 g/t silver, ranging from 1.7 g/t to 717 g/t. Notably, alongside the silver content, trace elements such as Arsenic (up to 3350 ppm), Antimony (484 ppm), and Selenium (94.1 ppm) were also measured. The majority of these samples were gathered from areas near historical mining activities.
Future Exploration Plans
The promising results from this sampling program have encouraged Black Mammoth Metals to enhance its exploration efforts at the Amador property. Recognizing the possibility of additional silver mineralization lying beneath cover to the east, the company is planning an induced polarization survey. This survey will help pinpoint optimal locations for the first phase of drilling on this promising silver property.
Acquisition Details and Claims Overview
Black Mammoth recently optioned five federal mining claims essential to the Amador property from a private vendor, with a cash payment of $25,000 and has since secured 100% ownership of these claims. In total, the company has expanded its claims to approximately 172 hectares, regulated by the Bureau of Land Management and the US Forestry Service. No additional royalties or finder's fees are associated with this option, making it a sound investment for the company.
Company’s Broader Exploration Initiatives
Beyond Amador, Black Mammoth is actively seeking non-core exploration interests across the western United States, further diversifying its portfolio. The map of claims now includes extensive properties throughout Arizona, Nevada, and Idaho. The acquisition of these diverse locations highlights the company's strategy to maximize its exploration potential.
