MINERAL MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD. - WINTER PHASE 2 DRILL PROGRAM FINALIZED
Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Mineral Mountain Resources (SD) Inc., have engaged the professional services of Devico AS, a recognized expert in directional core drilling (DCD), to partner with the company's drill contractor, First Drilling, to target over 1,130 metres(3,500 feet) of the downplunge length of the East Limb structure and the previously drilled Homestake (1987) high-grade gold zones 967 metres (3,000 feet) vertically below surface.
Devico has over 30 years of successful DCD experience in more than 50 countries, including North America, and will provide this unique technology, along with borehole planning, as a service to the company. At the company's request, Devico has designed a borehole plan for its 2018 phase 2 drill program, consisting of a mother hole and multiple branch holes targeting the high-grade gold zone referred to herein.
Using a steerable wireline core barrel, this method significantly reduces the cost by hitting targets quicker and more accurately than traditional methods. By making multiple branches of up to 30 holes from a mother hole that is estimated to be about 1,000 metres (3,100 feet) deep, this DCD technology dramatically reduces both the time spent and the overall costs. A major benefit to directional drilling is that this method is amenable to multiple highly accurate crosscuts off the mother hole to penetrate the main mineralized shear zone down plunge. As in phase 1, this mother hole will be probed by state-of-the-art borehole electromagnetic (BHEM) technology. This BHEM technology is designed to detect conductive bodies off hole down plunge along the East Limb structure toward the high-grade gold zone. An updated presentation,including proposed drill holes, has been posted to the company's website.
In addition to the company's Standby project, there are a significant number of large-scale magnetic anomalies lying on the Standby/Bloody Gulch/Lookout trend and other parallel trends that are covered by Mineral Mountain claims in the Rochford district, most of which have notbeen tested at depth or have never even been drilled in some cases.
About Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. and the Rochford gold project
Mineral Mountain Resources, through its wholly owned subsidiary Mineral Mountain Resources (SD), is focused on the exploration of its 100-per-cent-owned Rochford gold project situated along the highly prospective Homestake gold belt in the Black Hills of South Dakota, United States.The Rochford project covers over 7,500 acres and straddles three major trends of structurally thickened auriferous iron formation that host ledge-type gold mineralization.
