Red Cliff Partner Report Drilling Returns 16.56 g/t gold over 5.12 metres
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd (“Mountain Boy” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: MTB; Frankfurt: M9U) reports that its joint venture partner – Decade Resources Ltd – has reported the final assay results from the 2018 drilling on the Red Cliff property. Highlights of drilling, as reported by Decade, include:
- 16.56 g/t gold over 5.12m in DDH-MON-18-50
- 13.90 g/t gold over 2.99m in DDH-MON-18-48
- 21.90 g/t gold over 1.83 m in DDH-MON-18-58
- 8.93 g/t gold over 6.1m in DDH-MON-18-67
- 13.58 g/t gold over 3.2 m DDH-MON-18-46
Mountain Boy holds a 35% interest in the Red Cliff project located in the Stewart Camp of British Columbia’s Golden Triangle. Decade is operator of the project. Red Cliff was the first significant mine in the Stewart area, with a rail line built to transport ore to the port at Stewart. Between 1908-12, about 2385 metres of underground development was carried out on five levels, focused on the copper-rich zone at the valley level. (Minfile 104A 037 Red Cliffe.) The recent work is directed at the Waterpump and Montrose zones which are located north of the original mine and at higher elevation. Those zones occur along 400m of length in a gold-bearing structure that has been identified over at least a 2.3 km length.
Lawrence Roulston, president of Mountain Boy commented: "We continue to be encouraged by these latest results, which support our belief that Red Cliff represents a large and well-mineralized gold system. Road accessible and just 2.5 kilometres from a paved highway, Red Cliff is ideally situated for mine development. Mountain Boy and Decade are examining options for an independent review and a resource estimate which will provide further guidance in how best to advance this project."
