Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation (TSXV:NEV) is pleased to announce the results of its first two diamond drillholes at the Kinsley Mountain Gold Project in Nevada, USA. The project covers an area of approximately 107 sq./km and is situated in the prolific Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend.
The two-hole diamond drill program has been successful in intersecting the mineralized horizon that is believed to have the potential to host gold mineralization. The first hole (D-1991) yielded 15.3 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 32.3 metres in the mineralized horizon with values ranging from trace to 15.3 g/t. The second hole (D-1992) intersected 22.2 g/t Au over 34.9 metres with values ranging from trace to 22.2 g/t.
These results further support the prospective nature of the project and substantiate the presence of a large mineralized zone. Geophysical analysis determined that the mineralization was associated with the steeply plunging conductors identified in a previous exploration program.
The Kinsley Mountain Gold Project is located in the western part of the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend, which hosts major gold deposits such as the Cortez and Goldrush underground mines and the Gold Pick open pit. This successful drill program has confirmed the strong potential for gold mineralization at the Kinsley Mountain Gold Project. Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation is confident that further exploration at the project will lead to the discovery of additional gold mineralization.
The Kinsley Mountain Gold Project is a new undertaking for Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation and the results confirm its belief that this project has great potential for economic mineralization. The Company is committed to its continuing exploration efforts at Kinsley Mountain with plans to drill additional holes in the coming weeks.
