VANCOUVER, Feb. 17, 2014 /CNW/ - Gold Mountain Mining Corporation (the
"Company" or "Gold Mountain") has completed analysis of the 2013
exploration program on its 100% owned Elk Gold property, located near
Merritt, British Columbia.
Drilling occurred on several deep IP anomalies south of the existing
bulk sample pit. The targets were chosen based on the IP anomalies from
2010 through 2012 IP surveys plus the Titan IP survey anomalies
identified in 2011. A third party, testing a prototype percussion rig
completed all the drilling at no cost to the company. This drilling
provided valuable data for future planning purposes.
Two holes (SLH13-003 & SLH13-004) tested the Siwash North 1300 vein 50m
further down dip than previously to a maximum depth of 330m. Both
holes returned anomalous gold values up to 4 g/t over 3m showing the
significant depth extent of the 1300 vein. Because of the friable
nature of the mineralized zones the percussion drilling may tend to
smear results. The drilling confirms the 1300 vein remains open at
depths in excess of 330m. One of the holes was drilled beyond the vein
to a depth of 500m to test a deep Titan 24 resistivity anomaly. The
drill hole encountered two mafic dykes rimmed with anomalous gold. A
wedge core hole testing these two dykes will be considered for future
programs.
A drill hole within South Showing (SSH13-001) to test a large
resistivity low was stopped in a fault zone thought to be the source of
the anomaly. Above the fault the hole encountered the silica breccia
intersected in 2011 and 2012 drilling that had widths of up to 47.7m
and gold grades of 0.7g/t over the entire 47.7m. The breccia was
intersected 15m further down dip than previously drilled and found to
carry anomalous gold of 0.17 g/t over a 12m width and is a target for
future core drilling. This mineralized breccia is unlike the zones
further north which carry gold primarily in pyritic quartz veins and
has the possibility for a large volume, lower grade gold deposit.
Lake Zone drilling (SLH13-002) tested a Titan 24 resistivity high
anomaly at 500m depth, as well as the known gold quartz veins nearer to
surface. The near surface vein contained elevated gold assays of 1.15
g/t across 10m is the western and 100m down dip extension of a new vein
discovered in 2012 drill hole SLD12-209 that intersected 43.5 g/t Au
across 0.33m. Silica content increased within the deep resistivity
zone, samples of which had anomalous gold assays 0.25 g/t across 9m.
Geologic mapping and soil/rock chip sampling was performed on the
property's southern claims where a mineralized zone discovered in 2012
yielded grab sample assay results of 7.36% copper, 226 g/t silver,
0.24% zinc and 0.38% lead. The recent prospecting and sampling
discovered a second mineralized zone 175m to the SE that assayed 6.3%
Zn, 1.8% Pb and 12.1 g/t Ag across 30cm. A second sample 20m north
assayed 0.11% Zn, 0.37% Pb and 368 g/t Ag. Continued evaluations of
this new style of mineralization will occur as conditions permit.
Mapping east of South Showing located quartz float within the overburden
suggesting the South Showing veining continues to the east beyond the
most easterly 2012 drill section. Additional prospecting and mapping is
planned for this area.
A map displaying the locations of drill holes and other zones may be
found on the company's website.
