Interesting history - Del NorteInteresting history!!
Right after the Eskay Creek discovery in 1989, Del Norte was optioned to Goodgold Resources (Murray Pezim's and Ned Goodman's company) on the basis of geological similarities to the setting at Eskay. In 2005, the property was optioned to Sabina Silver who stated in an October 3, 2005 news release: 'The geological environment of mineralization is broadly similar to that of the Eskay Creek Mine. At Eskay Creek, high-grade veins were the focus of exploration prior to the discovery in 1989 of rich deposits of stratiform, sedex gold-silver-base metal mineralization at or near a mudstone-volcanic contact. Sabina believes that the Del Norte Property demonstrates the potential to host similar bonanza silver and gold mineralization.'
