Cibolan Gold Corporation (the "Company") is pleased to advise and update shareholders on recent developments with the Wilson Independence project, located directly adjacent to Newmont's Multi Billion dollar operating Phoenix Fortitude mining complex.
During April, the Company mapped and sampled the structures identified by the new technical team (See News Release dated March 19, 2015). On April 23, 2015, management and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) met in Battle Mountain to review the project and ensure all permits and allowances were up to date and activities could recommence on the project. On Tuesday this week, a follow up site visit from the BLM occurred.
Of strategic importance to Cibolan and its shareholders; the BLM has:
- Confirmed that our "Sunshine Extension" notice is still in good standing and drilling can commence immediately.
- Confirmed that the "Independence" notice can be refiled and allow the drilling on the High Grade Front Range Structure to commence.
- Confirmed the release; from the "disturbed area", everything south of the head frame. This will free up important exploration ground (one or two acres) for defining the northeast extension structure.
"These are very busy days at Cibolan! I couldn't be more pleased with everything done so far! I felt the meeting with the BLM was very positive. The mapping appears to be confirming the target analysis by our new technical team. I look forward to the assay results on the samples which we expect to release soon. As a result, we continue to implement the suggested program designed by the new technical team (News Release dated April 2 2015) for a successful transition to revenue production. We now have multiple targets which we anticipate will increase ounces available for near term, near surface production. Preliminary engineering is completed for a production facility holding 4 to 5 million tons of mineralized material, which becomes very profitable when the tonnage averages a grade of 1.5 grams (.044 troy ounces) per ton or better," stated Daniel J. Forbush, Cibolan President and CEO.
As a result of the financing activities reported hereafter, the Company accepted a proposal from Envirotech Drilling LLC to drill the High Grade Range Front Structure, High Grade Gold Northeast Structure, and the Untested Outcropping Gold Zone North-South Structure. With the permits and allowances in good standing, Cibolan has undertaken a field survey to prioritize sites and lay out a strategic plan to maximize effectiveness of the drill program. (To see where these structures reside on the property go to our website and review the PowerPoint presentation on the home page.)
Mr. Forbush continued, "Cibolan Gold received a favorable proposal to get this drilling completed, presuming we can begin shortly. We will commence drilling the newly identified High Grade Range Front Fault System, a N10W striking structure along the western edge of our previous drilling. This new program should expand the quantity of high grade mineralized material identified in previous drilling and demonstrate continuity along the structure. Based on successful results, we will be able to update our technical report demonstrating more economic ounces. We anticipate commencing this drill program within the next four weeks. Cibolan is on target and remains a 'must watch' company for Gold focused investors!"
The Company continues to deliver on the new corporate plan which focuses on a rapid expansion of the new zones and their integration into the property as a whole.
"The company received $85,000 in cash investment and settled a debt of $150,000 at $0.10 per unit, the price on this initial tranche of funding. These transactions are the initial results of approaching a number of interested accredited investors with a funding proposal to obtain up to $1.1 million in three tranches. Each unit sold in these tranches contains one share and three share purchase warrants with one of the warrants expiring on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of buying of the unit. Another $120,000 in cash investments have been committed and are expected to fund in the next two week," reported Mr. Forbush.
