NuLegacy Gold, an exploration company based at Nevada, announced that it has added a soil gas sampling survey to its current drilling program at its Red Hill Prospect in Nevada. The prospect covers an area of 45 sq mi in Nevada’s Cortez gold trend.

The Cortez Segment belongs to the Battle Mountain-Eureka Gold Trend of Nevada. The gold discovery on ET Blue-Lower Horse Canyon, the Cortez Hills gold mines and the Cortez are sediment-hosted, bulk-mineable, large gold deposits. The Cortez Segment is a part of these deposits. These gold mines have, until now, produced over 10 Moz of gold and have reserves of over 40 Moz.
NuLegacy Gold’s Red Hill Prospect is located seven miles southeast of Barrick Gold’s ET Blue-Lower Horse Canyon discovery and around 15 mi in the south-easterly direction of the Cortez Hills gold mine.
The mercury soil gas survey has been initiated to narrow down the options for drilling. Personnel from Miranda Gold are performing the survey utilizing an RA-915 Hg-Gas Spectrometer. The survey is concentrated on hole BRH-013 and is expected to guide the follow-up drilling to NuLegacy’s 13.7 m intercept of 8.11 g Au/t. The intercept is within 24.4 m of 4.99 g Au/t from 585.4 to 609.8 m. Mercury gas is to be initially measured at 100 sites that are located on a 1000 x 1000 m grid, spaced 100 m apart from each other. The results will be plotted and based on them further expansion will be undertaken.
