Reno, Nevada, Feb. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dakota Territory Resource Corp (OTCQB: DTRC) ("Dakota Territory"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Dr. Michael Terry has
completed geological modeling of the Maitland - False Bottom Area
of northern Black Hills of South Dakota that extends prospective
rocks, including the Homestake Formation, to the west-northwest on
Dakota Territory's Blind Gold Property. The Homestake
Formation is the host for gold mineralization at the Homestake
Mine.
Dr. Terry's new geological interpretations are the product of
work commissioned by Dakota Territory Resource Corp in January,
2014 to build upon the historic drilling and geologic mapping
conducted by Homestake Mining Company by incorporating and
integrating more recent independent works in the District.
This research has included analysis of information and data
sets from several published scientific works centered on the
Homestake Deposit, recent scientific publications on the geology of
the Black Hills Area, Dakota Territory's 3-dimensional modeling of
the Homestake Mine, and field work conducted by Dr. Terry in the
Spring - Summer of 2014. This research, coupled with Dr. Terry's
pioneering structural and stratigraphic research on rocks of Early
Proterozoic over the last 25 years has produced a new geologic map
of the Precambrian rock units and structures at the unconformity
surface in the Maitland - False Bottom Area that extends the
prospective Proterozoic Ellison, Homestake and Poorman formation
stratigraphic sequence at the Blind Gold Property. Additionally,
this research sheds new light on the structural controls for
Precambrian gold mineralization that are fully integrated into the
Maitland - False Bottom interpretation and provides a framework for
continued exploration in the area. Dr. Terry's work is inclusive
and is supported by historic drilling and mapping, work completed
by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the South Dakota
Geological Survey's recently published geologic maps (Redden and
Dewitt, 2008; Redden et al. 2013).
Richard Bachman, President and CEO of the Company commented:
"Our relationship with Dr. Terry has been productive and is
on-going. His unique skill set and creative way of thinking about
the Homestake District is providing important direction for our
exploration programs."
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 3,057 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 Resource Corp is uniquely positioned to
leverage Management's extensive exploration and mining experience
in the Black Hills of South Dakota with Homestake Mining
Company. For more information on Dakota Territory,
