Prospecting At Baner Gold Project Finds 20 Historic Shafts And Adits
CALGARY - Legacy Gold Mines Ltd. reported its prospecting, sampling and other activities at the Baner gold project located in Idaho County, Idaho. Of particular interest were results from a bedrock sample on the western-most area of adits that graded 9.2 g/t Au, and results from two well-mineralised boulders that returned 29.3 g/t Au and 1.6 g/t Au in an area of the Baner Gold Project with no previous known workings or geology work. The Baner Gold Project and immediate area is a historic gold mining camp that hosts numerous gold deposits along geologic structures that appear to have provided conduits for the gold fluids and that extend for significant distances.
"Since completing the transaction for the Baner Gold Project in October, Legacy Gold personnel have been busy completing various programs and tasks while awaiting the permit to drill," said Mike Sutton, VP, Exploration. "We are very pleased with the results of the successful extensive prospecting program on the property which found 20 historic mine shafts and adits and returned some nice high-grade assays at both historic mining sites and new under-explored areas."
Some of the better gold assays received through Legacy work at the Baner Gold Project includes: 29.3 g/t Au and 1.6 g/t Au from boulders located west of the historic Black Lady Mine; 38.2 g/t Au and 16.1 g/t Au from Baner Adit D rock dump; 22.7 g/t Au from the Baner Adit K rock dump; 7.5 g/t Au from the historic Zenith Mine rock dump; 5.2 g/t Au from Baner trench B; 9.2 g/t from outcrop at Baner Adit G; 6.1 g/t Au from the Lucky Strike Adit B rock dump; and 6.0 g/t Au from the Baner Adit E rock dump.
Some of the better gold assays received through historical work by previous companies at the Baner Gold Project includes: 25.9 g/t Au at the historic Zenith Mine rock dump; 42.5 g/t Au, plus 19.0 g/t, plus 8.6 g/t Au, plus 12.9 g/t from the Baner Adit F rock dump, plus 39.5 g/t Au from historic Adit F Mine; 7.1 g/t Au from outcrop at the collar of drill hole (2018-17); 6.0 g/t Au and 5.2 g/t Au from the historic Baner Adit D Mine rock dump; 94.3 g/t Au plus 86.2 g/t Au plus 87.1 g/t Au from Harris Mine Shaft 2; 134.4 g/t Au from the historic Baner Adit E Mine; 18.0 g/t Au from the historic Baner Adit J Mine; and 18.5 g/t Au plus 10.6 g/t Au from the historic Baner Adit G Mine.
