Deer Horn Hires Moose Mountain to Move Bulk Sample Forward

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Deer Horn Capital Inc. (CSE: DHC) (the “Company” or “Deer Horn”), announces it has finalized contract arrangements with Moose Mountain Technical Services, a BC-based, international engineering firm to manage permitting and development for a 10,000-tonne bulk sample at the 51.3-square-kilometer Deer Horn gold-silver-tellurium property in west-central British Columbia. Exploration to date at Deer Horn has outlined an NI 43-101 compliant resource of high-grade gold, silver and tellurium. Several key mineral zones across a 2.4-kilometer strike length remain open for expansion in three directions.

Moose Mountain’s 2018 Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Deer Horn Property, calculated on only 20% of the known mineralized zone, generated positive results for a small-scale, open-pit operation based on prices of $1,300 for gold, $17 for silver and $100 per kg for tellurium. The bulk sample is intended to reinforce key data points and assumptions from the PEA.

“We’re very pleased to have Moose Mountain managing the bulk sample phase,” said Deer Horn President & CEO Tyrone Docherty. “They know this property well, and we have worked with them for many years. They are highly respected around the world.”

Added Docherty: “Considering that the PEA was positive based on significantly lower gold prices, we’re anxious to get this crucial data from the bulk sample and move forward with our development timeline. The current resource has only been explored to a depth of 200 feet, where it remains open, so we believe we have a viable resource for the long term.”
