VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 9, 2019 / Strategic Metals Ltd. (TSXV: SMD) is pleased to announce results from phase two of its 2019 exploration program at the Mount Hinton property, where phase one rock samples returned up to 2340 g/t gold (see news release dated August 21, 2019). Mount Hinton is located in the southern portion of the Keno Hill District of central Yukon, about 4 to 15 km by road southeast of Alexco Resource Corp.'s mill at Keno City. It is 100% owned by Strategic Metals.
The ongoing, multi-phase program is focused on the Granite Creek basin, which forms the headwaters of a productive placer creek. Visible gold was identified during phase two; however, samples containing visible gold were not sent for analysis.
Highlights from phase two rock sampling include:
The attached figure illustrates the significant 2019 rock sample results.
Phase three of the 2019 program is underway with equipment on-site. This phase of the program will include a property-wide LiDAR survey, road construction and mechanized trenching across areas with high gold values in rock and soil. Geological mapping and prospecting will continue during phase three, focusing on the structural controls of newly discovered veins.
Analytical work was done by ALS Minerals, with sample preparation in Whitehorse, Yukon and assays and geochemical analyses in North Vancouver, British Columbia. All rock samples were analyzed for gold by fire assay fusion and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (Au-ICP21) and 51 other elements by aqua regia digestion and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ME-MS41). Overlimit values were determined for silver, lead and zinc by aqua regia digestion and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (Ag-, Pb- and Zn-OG46). For gold assays with values greater than 10 g/t, and silver values greater than 1500 g/t, the samples were reanalyzed using fire assay with a gravimetric finish (Au-GRA21 Ag-GRA21).
The 2019 field program on the Mount Hinton property was managed by Archer, Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited ("Archer Cathro"). Technical information in this news release has been approved by Jack Morton, P. Geo., a senior geologist with Archer Cathro and a qualified person for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101.
