Solitario Resources (TSX:SLR) has revealed it has discovered three new zones of high-grade surface gold at its Golden Crest Project in South Dakota.
The Denver, Colorado-based company stated in a news release that gold values returned were as high as 57.9, 50.2, 42.7, 32.3 and 21.1 grams per ton (g/t) gold in each of the three zones, named Holland, Top Dollar and Wildcat.
Notably, these are among the highest-grade gold samples collected during a first-pass sampling program at a newly discovered target zone at Golden Crest.
“After three field seasons, we are still discovering high-quality drilling targets displaying super high-grade gold values on the surface,” Chris Herald, CEO of Solitario Resources, said in a statement. “We now look forward to our drilling program at Golden Crest that is expected to begin in the first part of June.”
Results were collected from a belt of outcropping favourable Mission Canyon Limestone that spans 3.5 kilometres long and up to 1 kilometre across. In the area known as the Geyser zone, the company anticipates conducting further mapping and sampling of this structural zone in the 2024 field season.
Solitario’s 100-per-cent-owned Golden Crest properties in South Dakota constitute strategic land holdings along the western and southwestern extensions of the Homestake-Wharf mining district that has produced approximately 52 million ounces of gold and contains another 30 million ounces in historical resources.
Solitario Resources is a natural resource exploration company focused on high-quality Tier-1 gold and zinc exploration projects.
Shares of Solitario Resources (TSX:SLR) are up 4.55 per cent to C$1.15 as of 10:01 am ET.
