New news Mr. Nelson Baker reports: VANCOUVER, BC,Jan. 28, 2021/CNW/ -Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. andMineral Mountain Resources(SD)Inc.("Mineral Mountain"or the ("Company") (TSXV: MMV) is pleased to report, that over the last few months, the Company has significantly advanced its understanding of underlying geological controls on gold mineralization in theRochforddistrict, and, particularly in the vicinity of the Standby Mine. This has been accomplished through recently completed and ongoing structural, stratigraphic and geochronologic studies, along with the application of innovative geochemical and multi-isotopic vectoring methods. This on-going work continues to highlight the Standby Mine as a significant exploration target with many of the architectural elements needed to host a major gold deposit. The Standby Mine occurs at the intersection of a significant body of Rochford Iron Formation thickened in a synclinal fold axis with a regionally significant north-northwest-trending shear zone that guided mineralizing hydrothermal fluids from depth. Ten synclinal fold structures with a similar geometry and overall scale referred to as "ledges"contained economic gold mineralization mined at the Homestake Mine (see Figure 1 entitled Standby/Homestake Comparison posted on the Company's website atRochford Standby Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd.). The geometry of the iron formation at Standby is now understood in detail from recently acquired high resolution geophysical surveys and will aid in further subsurface drill targeting. A well-defined zone of quartz veining, carbonate-chlorite alteration and shear fabric can be traced through the Standby mine area for at least 3,650 meters (12,000 feet) on surface, and marks the position of the shear zone that appears to control mineralization in this part of the district. The long-lived structural history of this shear zone, as the evidence suggests, is an important factor in the development of a significant shear zone-hosted gold deposit. Multiple episodes of this movement are indicated by the presence of several generations of crosscutting and variably deformed quartz-carbonate veins and shallow plunging drag folds associated with oblique thrust movement along the shear zone. Compositionally unusual albitite veins have intruded the shear zone at Standby and importantly, have also been seen in the largest ledge systems in the Homestake mine and in many of the world's significant orogenic gold camps such as in theTimminsgold district, northeasternOntario. Significant advances have also been made in the regional connections between theRochforddistrict and the spectacularly productive Lead-Homestake district to the north. Presently, theRochfordandLeaddistricts are only 25 kilometers apart, and significantly, at least 14 kilometers of net shear offset brings the two camps into direct juxtaposition (see Figure 2 entitled "Regional Connection: Homestake andRochfordposted on the Company's website atRochford Standby Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd.). During the time of major gold mineralization in the Black Hills, the two camps were neighbors across this shear zone and it is possible to consider theRochforddistrict "West Homestake". It is even possible that the two major antiforms were once aligned into a single large-scale structure prior to shear dismemberment. The portion of the antiform containing older (deeper) rocks, including the Homestake iron formation dominates exposure in theLeadDistrict, while the younger (shallower) rocks are exposed in theRochforddistrict. The overall architecture of the two camps isremarkablysimilar. Given the similarity in deformation-metamorphic histories and the comparable lithologies of the Homestake andRochfordiron formations, theRochforddistrict should contain significant gold resources available for discovery. The displaced eastern lower portion of this major early structure produced, in excess of 41 million ounces of gold. Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. will be raising sufficient capital to support a fully permitted core drilling program in early 2021 that will test the Standby Trend. In addition, Mineral Mountain is also conducting a district scale structural foliation study and a specific type of geochemical study that has proven successful at providing vectors to mineralization at the Homestake Mine.
