Reno, Nevada, Feb. 25, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dakota Territory Resource Corp (OTCQB: DTRC)
("Dakota Territory" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that
the Company has entered into an agreement to acquire surface and
mineral title to 26.16 acres of the Squaw and Rubber Neck Lodes
that comprise Mineral Survey 1706 in the Black Hills of South
Dakota. Located immediately to the north and adjoining the
Company's Paleoplacer Property, the acquisition of Mineral Survey
1706 is consistent with the Company's business development strategy
of expanding its high quality mining interests within the Homestake
District.
Homestake Mining Company explored Mineral Survey 1706 in
the late 1980's through a lease agreement that provided for the
conveyance of the results of its exploration to the property
owner. Homestake's exploration included the drilling of 23
holes that produced a discovery of significant gold mineralization,
with gold values up to 14.9 grams per tonne, at a distance some 550
meters north of the Deadbroke Gold Mine. The Deadbroke Mine
was the last of a string of mines that produced ores from fossil
gold placer deposits that were derived from the erosion from the
Homestake lode. It has been estimated than more than 10
million ounces of gold were eroded from the Homestake lode, of
which approximately 1.5 million ounces have been realized by
various means of historic production.
About Dakota Territory Resource Corp
Dakota Territory Resource Corp. is a Nevada Corporation with
offices located at Reno, Nevada. Dakota Territory is
committed to creating shareholder value through the acquisition and
responsible exploration and development of high caliber gold
properties in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
In terms of total historic US gold production, the Black Hills
ranks second only to the Carlin District of northeast Nevada, with
the gold production of the Black Hills concentrated in a 100 square
mile area known as the Homestake District. Dakota Territory
maintains 100% ownership of three mineral properties including the
Blind Gold, City Creek and Homestake Paleoplacer Properties, all of
which are located in the heart of the Homestake District and cover
a total of approximately 2,466 acres. The Blind Gold Property is
located approximately 4 miles northwest and on structural trend
with the historic Homestake Gold Mine. Through its 125 year
production history, the Homestake Gold Mine produced approximately
40 million ounces of gold and is the largest iron-formation-hosted
gold deposit in the world.
In the 1980's and 1990's Homestake Mining Company undertook a
$70 million exploration program managed by Richard Bachman,
president and chief executive officer of Dakota Territory that was
focused primarily on the search for a repeat of the Homestake Mine.
This program successfully discovered significant new gold
mineralization beyond the confines of the producing mine,
demonstrating repeatability and the potential for additional gold
deposits in the Homestake iron-formation host. This program
also proved the continuous extension of the Homestake
iron-formation to a distance of approximately 4 miles from the
producing mine and under the Blind Gold Property.
Dakota Territory is uniquely positioned by the experience of its
management team in the Homestake District to leverage the extensive
exploration efforts of the past. For more information
