Work Begins at Greencastle’s Jewel Ridge Gold Property, Nevada, USA
February 25 2020 - 11:45AM
Greencastle Resources Ltd. (“Greencastle" or the
“Company") (TSXV: VGN) is pleased to report that Golden Lake
Exploration Inc. (CSE “GLM") has begun a ground magnetic survey on
Greencastle's Jewel Ridge gold property near Eureka, Nevada, where
GLM can earn a 100% interest, subject to certain conditions set out
below.
The Jewel Ridge property is located on the south
end of Nevada's prolific Battle Mountain-Eureka trend, along strike
and contiguous to Barrick Gold's two-million-ounce Archimedes/Ruby
Hill gold mine to the north and Timberline Resources'
advanced-stage Lookout Mountain project to the south.
The geophysical survey will cover the entire
Jewel Ridge property and comprise approximately 137 line-kilometres
of high-resolution ground magnetics at 50 metres line spacing in an
east-west direction. The magnetic survey will assist in the
structural interpretation and analysis related to oxide mineralized
gold zones.
The Jewel Ridge property comprises 96 unpatented
lode mining claims and 30 patented claims covering approximately
728 hectares (1,800 acres). The Jewel Ridge property contains
several historic small gold mines which align along a
north-south-trending stratigraphic contact of Lower Paleozoic
sedimentary rocks, as well as several other gold mineralized zones
with a variety of structural and lithological controls. The
company's focus is on Carlin-type disseminated gold deposits, the
primary focus in the area since the late 1970s.
Nevada Carlin-type gold deposits have a combined
endowment of more than 250 million ounces, which are concentrated
(85 per cent) in only four trends or camps of deposits: Carlin,
Cortez (Battle Mountain-Eureka), Getchell and Jerritt Canyon.
Golden Lake can earn a 100 percent interest in
the Jewel Ridge property by paying Greencastle $155,000 in cash,
issuing five million Golden Lake shares and spending $750,000 over
three years. Golden Lake will also cover the costs of the
underlying lease and all BLM (Bureau of Land Management) and county
fees. Varying net smelter return (NSR) royalties are applicable on
the property with buy-downs in place to reduce the NSRs to nil and
1 per cent on various claims and leases.
