Global Mining Review,
American Pacific Mining Corp. has completed a first phase of sampling and property evaluation at its recently acquired Danny Boy Project.
The project was acquired as part of the Clearview acquisition. Danny Boy is located immediately west, and contiguous to American Pacific’s Tuscarora Project located in Elko County, Nevada.
Highlights and key takeaways:
- The expanded and consolidated property now covers more than 25 km² and is the largest assembled claims package in the district.
- A total of 10 rock chip samples were collected at Danny Boy during the company’s first phase of reconnaissance evaluation work.
- Previous rock chip and grab samples at Danny Boy returned values up to 20 g/t gold with three initial target areas identified.
- The Tuscarora District now has 10 priority targets and large unexplored areas that will be mapped and sampled further in the coming weeks.
- American Pacific has initiated discussions with potential joint-venture partners and will determine the best path forward for this large epithermal district.
Eric Saderholm, Managing Director of Exploration for American Pacific, comments:
“The Clearview acquisition included the joint-venture with Centerra Gold on the Ziggurat Gold Project, where our team is working through permitting ahead of an initial drill campaign; however, Danny Boy represents a key piece of the acquisition that allows us to complete the long-awaited consolidation of the Tuscarora District. American Pacific now controls over 2560 ha. (25.6 km²) of patented and unpatented claims across this highly prospective epithermal system. We have seen high-grades from drilling and surface sampling across the entire property package and we are confident that our ongoing field work will generate additional targets pointing to the significant exploration upside that remains throughout the Tuscarora District.”
