Reno, Nevada, Jan. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dakota Territory Resource Corp (OTCQB: DTRC) ("Dakota Territory"
or the "Company") is pleased to report historic assay data from
core and reverse circulation holes previously drilled by Homestake
Mining Company on Dakota Territory's Homestake Paleoplacer
Property. Drill Hole CE16 intersected 3 meters of gold
mineralization assaying 5.85 grams per tonne in a flat lying
quartz-pebble conglomerate of the Deadwood Formation at a depth 164
meters below the surface. Additionally drill hole CE12A
intersected 2 meters of 8.46 grams per tonne gold also in a
quartz-pebble conglomerate at a depth of 192 meters below the
surface.
Homestake Mining Company undertook a core and reverse
circulation drill program in the late 1980's designed to locate the
extension of the Homestake paleoplacer channel that is believed to
have carried approximately 10 million ounces away from the
Homestake Lode. The Channel Extension (CE) drill program was
conceived and managed for Homestake by Richard Bachman, Dakota
Territory's President and CEO and consisted of 5,726 meters of
total drilling in 27 drill holes. Approximately 33% percent
of Homestake's Channel Extension drill holes intersected
mineralization with gold values of greater than 1.0 gram per
tonne.
All 27 drill holes of the historic Homestake drill program are
located on Dakota Territory's Paleoplacer Property. Dakota
Territory has now completed the digital compilation of the
extensive historic data that the Company has acquired over the past
12 months through the purchase of property along the channel trend,
through the engagement of Dr. James Fox and from historic reports
and data housed at the Homestake Adams Research and Cultural Center
at Deadwood, South Dakota.
With its new digital database, the Company has for the first
time modeled in 3 dimensions the configuration of the northward
extension of the paleoplacer channel under the cover rocks.
Richard Bachman, Certified Professional Geologist, has
reviewed the technical disclosure contained in this news release
and is a Qualified Person of the Company.

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.
