Tombstone Exploration Corporation, a fully reporting company, announced today that the Company has contracted Zonge International to perform ground geophysics across the 400 Acre claim block recently staked by Tombstone in the Eagletail Mining District, Yuma County, Arizona.
Zonge has been well respected for geophysical data acquisition in the minerals industry since 1970. They are an industry leader in methods such as IP (induced polarization) and CSEM/AMT, as well as SP, seismic, and gravity/magnetic data acquisition. Due to their positive reputation in the industry and the successes in their methodology, they were chosen for the initial step of Phase I of the Stardust exploration program.
Zonge will perform a ground magnetic survey across the claim block to determine the extent of the Stardust Fault. Previous reports state that the two shafts on the property were sunk along a high angled structure which trends E-NE across the area of outcrop. This structure is thought to be the 'feeder' for the Gold Silver mineralization in the project area. Several reports reference 'free milling gold' from drifts along this fault. Abundant dump material contains anomalous gold and silver values as well as visible copper oxides. Due to the extensive surface disturbance in this area, performing a ground magnetic survey will give a better understanding of the subsurface character of the fault. This method details changes in density in the subsurface and is used to define faults, fractures, and changes in rock types. As a result, this geophysical data will be used to better define the Phase I scope of work, which will involve detailed surface mapping, rock/soil sampling, and delineation of drill targets.
Alan Brown, President of TMBXF, said, "I am confident that the information provided by Zonge International will assist us to better understand the mineralization on the property and define our near term drill targets. Zonge started this exploration work on October 26 2015."
Tombstone Exploration Corporation is a gold silver copper exploration company based in Phoenix, Arizona. The Company's goal is to maximize shareholder value through focused exploration, testing and development of high quality mineral targets in the prolific mineral producing areas in S.W. USA. This goal will be achieved in part through the application of the best mineral exploration practices and techniques available to our experienced exploration and management team, including adherence to the highest possible standards of corporate responsibility, governance and conduct.
