Fire assays reported.2. Hole numbers ending in C are core.3. True thickness is estimated to be approximately 90 to 95 per cent of interval length.
Michael G. Allen, president and chief executive officer, stated: "These results represent the first drilling into the SNA deposit by the company. We are pleased with the results as they demonstrate that the deposit remains open for further expansion, and the mineralized intervals are slightly broader than modelled.Stepout hole SNA18-012 demonstrates the deposit remains open for expansion.The rig continues to drill Carlin-type exploration targets to the east and west of the SNA deposit as well as north towards the past-producing Motherlode mine."
About SNA
The SNA deposit is the easternmost of the three deposits controlled by the company within the Fluorspar Canyon trend. The SNA deposit is an inferred resource totalling 126,000 ounces grading 1.03 grams per tonne gold at a 0.3 g/t gold cut-off. SNA is described as a Carlin-type deposit hosted within Devonian carbonates in the footwall of the Fluorspar Canyon detachment fault.
The SNA deposit is located approximately 400 metres to the south of the past-producing Motherlode mine and may represent a southern extension of that mineralization. The SNA deposit is located approximately 4.6 kilometres to the northeast of the Daisy deposit where on Feb. 28, 2018, the company released the results of hole D18-003C, which returned 123.93 m grading 1.41 g/t Au and is approximately 3.3 km northeast of the Secret Pass deposit where on March 20, 2018, the company released results from hole SP18-003C which returned 70.07 m on 1.79 g/t Au.
Within the Fluorspar Canyon trend, Northern Empire owns three deposits with National Instrument 43-101-compliant resources: Daisy, Secret Pass and SNA, which are part of the Crown block of claims within the company's 141-square-kilometre Sterling gold project. Within the Sterling gold project, the company also controls the permitted Sterling mine. Northern Empire intends to aggressively explore the Sterling project to both expand existing resources and make new, additional discoveries.
Sampling and quality assurance/quality control procedures
Samples were submitted to ALS Global in Reno, Nev. Gold grade was determined by fire assay with atomic absorption, and gravimetric finish as well as cyanide soluble methods. Most ALS geochemical laboratories are registered or are pending registration to ISO 9001:2008, and several analytical facilities have received ISO 17025 accreditations for specific laboratory procedures. Northern Empire inserts a series of standards, blanks and field duplicates into the sample stream as part of its quality assurance and quality control procedures which are continually monitored by the company.
