Drilling Commences On The Crescent Valley Gold Project
VANCOUVER - Phenom Resources Corp. reported that drilling has commenced on the Crescent Valley Gold Project, 22 km (13 miles) southwest of Carlin, Nevada. The Crescent Valley Gold Project represents a high-grade, bonanza-vein gold prospect strategically located within the Northern Nevada Rift flanking the southwest fringe of the Carlin Gold Trend in Northern Nevada.
Dave Mathewson, Director and Geological Advisor, said, "The Crescent Valley Project represents the core portion of the largest quartz vein system in Nevada that I am aware of.“
The range-front/margin vein system is a zone of multi-event, silica-healed, hydrothermal breccias. Portions of the veins display minor repetitive banding, coarsely-bladed calcite, and quartz pseudomorphs of the calcite, within larger zones of phreatic-type brecciation that typically represent above-boiling zones of hydrothermal fluids and also above the prospective deposition levels of gold.
