Getchell Gold (GTCH) has commenced the maiden drill program at the Star Copper-Gold-Silver Project in Nevada.
The project includes two main mineralized occurrences, the formerly producing Star Point copper mine and the Star South Cu-Au-Ag prospect.
Key highlights:
- Historic small-scale mining extracted high-grade Copper, Gold, and Silver material
- The Star Point and Star South occurrences are underlain by geophysical anomalies characteristic of porphyry style mineralization
- The surface mineralization is interpreted as potentially deriving from a larger source at depth;
- The large geophysical targets have never been drill tested
- The first drill hole is targeting the Star South anomaly
Mike Sieb, President of Getchell Gold Corp, commented on the news.
“Having successfully closed a non-brokered financing this week to top up our treasury, we can now fully focus on drill testing the copper targets at the Star project and further delineating the extensive gold zones at the advanced exploration stage Fondaway Canyon project. The Getchell team is thrilled to have two active drill rigs on the ground at two different Nevada projects. We look forward to sharing exploration results through the end of this very active 2022.”
The Star Copper-Gold-Silver property is situated in Pershing County, Nevada, approximately 65 kilometres north of the flagship Fondaway Canyon gold project that has produced numerous discoveries over the last two years and continues to be advanced.
The Star Point Copper Mine is the site of a historic, near surface, high-grade copper oxide (tenorite) mine that operated from the late 1940s through the mid-1950s. The ore produced was shipped to a smelter in Utah for processing, but there is no record of shipped tonnage or grade.
Getchell Gold is a gold and copper exploration company focused on the Fondaway Canyon, a past gold producer with a significant in-the-ground historic resource estimate and the Star project, a past high-grade copper, gold, and silver small-scale producer.
Getchell Gold Corp. (CSE:GTCH) is up 1.3 per cent, trading at C$0.39 per share at 11 am ET.
