Mill City Gold has begun exploration at the Mount Hinton property.
The company has an option to buy a 100% interest in Rockhaven Resources’ 400 claim property that covers around 82 km2 in the Keno Hill mining district of Yukon.
The company was recommended a two-phase exploration program and Archer, Cathro & Associates will conduct this exploration. Mill City has planned this program in such a way as to estimate the continuity of the renowned high-grade gold and silver vein zones and to identify the bulk tonnage gold and silver targets, which are specified by the soil geochemical surveys completed formerly.
The budget for the phase I exploration is $600,000 and it will include excavator trenching of 6,000 m. The phase II exploration will include 2,000 m of diamond drilling and 2,200 m of reverse circulation percussion drilling. The suggested percussion drilling program comprises 40 to 75 holes, which rages between a depth of 30 and 60 m. The diamond drilling program consists of 15 to 25 holes to examine the down dip of the potential mineralization seen in trenches and the budget of phase II exploration is $1,400,000.
The Mount Hinton property is directly reached from Keno City by a 10 km all-weather road and encloses 82 km2 including two claims, which totals 400 mineral claim blocks. The hydroelectric power grid of Yukon widens up to the Bellekeno silver mine of Alexco Resource and the mine is situated 3 km north of the claim block of Mount Hinton and located along a road system that connects to the north of the Mount Hinton property.
