Drilling Commences at Miranda Gold’s Angel Wing Property
October 19 2010 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
Miranda Gold Corp. (“Miranda”) (TSX-V: MAD) announces
that drilling has started at Angel Wing, a sediment-hosted gold and
epithermal vein project in Eureka County, Nevada. Miranda’s
exploration funding partner Ramelius Resources Ltd. (“Ramelius”)
(ASX: RMS) plans to drill a total of 4,000 ft (1,212 m) in up to
eight drill holes.
Reverse circulation drilling will test the lateral and down dip
continuity of the veins and assess their gold and silver content in
three unique target areas. In addition to the vein targets,
drilling will also assess a sediment-hosted gold target where
anomalous gold in soil and rock samples correlates with decalcified
and silicified limestone.
Project Details
The Angel Wing project consists of 87 unpatented lode claims
(7.3 sq. km.) in northeast Elko County, Nevada. Past work consisted
of mapping, soil and rock sampling, and gravity. High-grade,
surface rock chip samples up to 2.7 oz Au/t (92.5 g Au/t) occur in
steeply dipping, quartz-calcite-adularia bonanza veins within
Triassic limestone. The high-grade veins remain untested by
drilling in a zone measuring one mile (1.6 km) along strike, 1,200
ft wide (366 m), and at depth. Surface sampling also identified
disseminated, sediment-hosted gold mineralization up to 0.44 oz
Au/t (1.507 g Au/t) in altered Paleozoic and Tertiary rocks.
Historic shallow, vertical drilling targeted disseminated
mineralization and returned up to 0.047 oz Au/t over 50 ft (1.609 g
Au/t over 15.2 m) in drill hole DC-7.
