Stallion Gold Acquires Richmond Mountain Gold Project from EMX Royalty
24 Mai 2022 - 2:30PM
Stallion Gold Corp.
(TSX-V: STUD) (OTCQB: SLLGF)
(Frankfurt: HM4) (“
Stallion” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
entered into an earn-in option agreement to acquire 100% interest
in the Richmond Mountain gold project (the
“
Project”), from Bronco Creek Exploration Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of EMX Royalty Corporation
(TSX-V:
EMX) (“EMX”). The Project is a Carlin-style gold project
located in the Eureka district of central Nevada, a district that
has recently seen a resurgence in major exploration activity with
the acquisition of the past producing Ruby Hill Mine by i-80 Gold
Corp. in 2021.
“We are excited to be bringing the Richmond Mountain gold
project into the Stallion Gold stable as it aligns with our
strategy of using modern exploration to advance underexplored
projects with significant mineral endowment potential, that are
near, or right next to multimillion ounce deposits,” remarked Drew
Zimmerman, Stallion Gold’s CEO.
Richmond Mountain Overview
The Project is located at the southern end of the Battle
Mountain-Eureka trend, roughly 1 km east of the town of Eureka and
consists of 117 unpatented lode mining claims covering 9.6 square
km’s. Carlin-style mineralization consisting of jasperoid and
decalcified carbonate-bearing rocks outcrop on the southern portion
of the property within a north-south oriented structural feeder
zone. This structural zone is subparallel and analogous to other
structures that host Carlin-style gold mineralization elsewhere
within the Eureka district. Examples include Lookout Mountain,
Windfall, and the Ruby Hill Mine and Archimedes open pit where the
younger, mineralized Eocene structures cut and overprint Cretaceous
iron and base metal-rich skarn and carbonate replacement
mineralization.
Previous work on the Project has outlined outcropping drill
targets through soil and rock chip geochemistry in the south and
CSAMT geophysical surveys in the north that indicate prospective
host units are within reasonable target depths. Two shallow drill
holes (both less than 500 m) were completed on the western side of
the property that did not penetrate post-mineral cover, suggesting
the concealed target area remains entirely untested.
