VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - 11/24/09) - Crescent Resources Corp. (TSX-V:CRC - News) ("Crescent") provides an update on exploration and staking activities at the Rattlesnake Hills Gold properties in Wyoming. Since acquiring the initial properties covering approximately 4,000 acres on July 21, 2009, Crescent has significantly added to its land position and now holds over 9,000 acres in the Rattlesnake Hills area (see the map attached to this news release for details: https://media3.marketwire.com/docs/crc1124m.JPG). Staking and exploration work has focused on ground with geological similarities to the adjacent property being developed by Evolving Gold and other alkalic gold properties such as Cripple Creek in Colorado.
Staking
Crescent has recently staked an additional 257 claims that cover approximately 5,140 acres and now holds approximately 9,180 acres in the Rattlesnake Hills area near or adjacent to Evolving Gold's significant new gold discovery. The new claims targeted areas where gold mineralization would be expected to occur based on Evolving Gold's exploration results and the findings from Crescent's recent ground exploration work as well as the geology of other known similar gold occurrences. Crescent now holds mineral rights in 13 separate blocks covering 20 Tertiary-age intrusives mapped in the Eocene - age Rattlesnake Hills volcanic field.
Exploration Work
Work by Crescent to date has included reconnaissance geology and rock sampling and stream sediment, soil and ground magnetic surveys. The program has been successful in identifying several targets. Full results from all field work will be released when the program is complete and all assays have been received by Crescent.
