Gold Intersection On Cook Mountain Project In Washington State
VANCOUVER - Adamera Minerals Corp. reported a high-grade gold intersection in the Overlook area of the Cook Mountain project in Washington State. Drill hole OLV6 intersected 3.05 meters with 6.5 g/t Au including a 1.52 meter zone with 12.2 g/t Au. Drill hole OLV6 was designed to test an induced polarization (IP) anomaly and gold in outcrop at the Outlook Ridge prospect. The high-grade intersection occurs from 239.57 to 242.62 meters down hole and is located approximately halfway between the Overlook and the Key West Mines which are 1000 meters apart.
The 12.2 g/t Au intersection occurs in clastic rocks approximately 122 meters above the limestone contact and projects to surface along a topographic / vegetation lineament between the two mines. At the clastic-limestone contact, a 6.2 meter interval with 0.7 g/t Au was intersected including 1.13g/t Au over 2.44 meters and 1.3 g/t Au over 1.5 meters. The IP response for this target appears to be related to veined and disseminated sulfides throughout the drill hole. In addition to the gold bearing zones described above, several additional zones with elevated gold were encountered, including an interval with 0.41 g/t Au over 11.9 meters from 3.35 meters to 15.24 meters, incorporating a 1.5 meter interval with 1.03 g/t Au. This shallow mineralization is assumed to be related to the gold in outcrop.
“We intersected high-grade gold mineralization along trend and midway between two past producing mines. We also intersected multiple intervals with lower grade gold over meaningful widths. What is most surprising is the lack of past drilling in this area. We can only assume that drilling was focused around the immediate area of the mines, ” says Mark Kolebaba President and CEO.
