Nevada King Gold Updates On Phase III Drill Program Progress
Nevada King Gold Provides Phase III Drill Program Update
Nevada King Gold Corp. is excited to share the latest developments in its Phase III regional drill program at its expansive Atlanta Gold Mine Project. The project covers an impressive 12,000 hectares and is strategically located along the renowned Battle Mountain Trend.
Drilling Progress Overview
Since kicking off the Phase III drill program, Nevada King has made significant strides by completing 26 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes, amounting to 6,600 meters out of a planned 20,000 meters. Following a brief pause for the holiday season, drilling operations have resumed, with two rigs actively tapping into the rich geological potential of the Atlanta site.
Primary Objectives of the Drill Program
The overarching goal of this drilling initiative is to broaden mineralization southward from the Atlanta resource zone. The focus areas include the newly identified South Quartzite Ridge Target (SQRT) and several new satellite deposits located throughout the district. By zeroing in on promising geological areas where geophysical anomalies match with significant structural features, the team aims to unlock further mineral wealth.
Details about the SQRT Target
The SQRT stretches 2.5 kilometers south from the current resource zone and has a width of approximately 500 meters. This expansive target is thought to be hosting potential mineral deposits, possibly linked to feeder structures that may have channeled mineralizing fluids trapped under a protective quartzite layer. Through meticulous drilling, the company aims to uncover these zones and determine the extent of their presence.
Regulatory Advances and Proposed Modifications
Recently, the company submitted a modification request to the Bureau of Land Management, which if approved, would facilitate the establishment of 47 new drill sites along with 1.9 kilometers of fresh roadways in the Atlanta district. These additions will allow enhanced exploration across promising targets such as Outlaw, Mustang, Silver Park, and Rangefront.
Exciting New Discoveries
Among the exciting aspects of this update are 13 proposed drill pads situated three kilometers north of the resource zone in an area that has previously evaded examination. Initial surface sample results from small outcrops in this zone have returned gold values as high as 0.82 grams per tonne, indicating the area's untapped potential.
Expert Insights from Exploration Management
Cal Herron, the Exploration Manager at Nevada King, expressed optimism regarding the ongoing drill program. He noted that the regional reconnaissance holes drilled earlier focused on anomalies detected east of the primary resource zone. The current focus involves structural zones shaped by gravity and drone magnetic data to trace potential satellite deposits. The company is dedicated to exploring a diverse range of geological environments to identify robust hydrothermal systems capable of nurturing these deposits.
Stock Option Grants for Strategic Growth
In alignment with corporate governance principles, Nevada King has granted a total of 6,800,000 fully-vested stock options to its directors and officers. These options can be converted into common shares at a price of $0.35 and remain valid until January 6, 2030.
Quality Assurance and Control Measures
The quality of drilling operations is crucial. All samples from the Atlanta project undergo a rigorous QA/QC protocol. At the drill site, samples are processed and sent to American Assay Lab in Reno, maintaining full custody throughout the analytical process.
