Rattlesnake Hills: Drill Target Map
Recent drilling has expanded gold mineralization at the North Stock target Additional gold mineralization in the Middle Zone between North Stock and Antelope Basin has been identified Middle Ground and Porphyry targets fill the 500 meters between North Stock and Antelope Basin Multiple un-drilled satellite gold zones surround North Stock at Confluence and Pronghorn
21
Creating Wealth Through Discovery
Major potential in multiple new untested drill targets defined by significant rock chip samples and soil anomalies
Multiple un-drilled satellite gold zones surround North Stock at Confluence and Pronghorn Poorly tested gold zones at Middle Ground, Porphyry, South Stock New targets at Growler, BlackJack, Bald Mountain, NE Stock Porphyry, MacDougal, and Airstrip
Rattlesnake Hills is a district scale opportunity
Multiple mineralized porphyry intercepts and outcrops show dike swarms over 150+ hectare area Possible connectivity of demonstrated gold systems could allude to a huge gold system Breccia zones at Growler and north of South Stock show rock textures and gold grades intercepted proximal to mineralized dikes
Potential to connect the North Stock and Antelope Basin mineralized gold zones
Geophysics (CSAMT and IP surveys) supports a connecting body of rock at comparable depths to intercepted diorite
Potential to define bulk tonnage, underground targets
Multiple mineralized porphyry dike drill intercepts and breccia zones over a large area with average grades of 1-5 gpt Au over 20 – 50 meters Gold grades intercepted in dikes are consistent with mineable underground porphyry
Gold targets extend over 11 km in east-west corridor
Center of the mineralized corridor could be up to 3.5 km wide and 3 km long (10.5 sq km area)
