New Prospective Zones Discovered At Tokop Gold Project

VANCOUVER - Riley Gold Corp. has identified two newly discovered prospective zones at its Tokop Gold Project located in Esmerelda County, Nevada. Soil geochemistry and mapping programs are underway on both newly discovered prospective areas. Soil sampling and mapping will include the two newly identified areas within the 21 square kilometer (sqkm) Tokop land package. The two areas lie more than 2 kilometers (km) apart and each are more than 1 km from recently completed core drill program. One of the new prospective areas lies south of the main Tokop claim block, where a historic drill hole returned 12.3 meters (m) of 1 gram per tonne (gpt) gold. Another drill hole in the same area returned 12.3 m at 0.617 gpt gold. The second new area is south and west of the recent drilling by 1 km. This newly discovered structural zone includes felsic intrusives more than 100 m wide flanked by quartz veining and ferruginous quartz vein breccias mapped over a strike length of more than 500m.

“It is exciting to find new areas of precious metals mineralization at Tokop. Several more, very prospective areas have yet to be investigated within Riley Gold’s large land package. The next phase of drilling at Tokop will be based on geochemical correlation to mineralized zones from the soil grids in conjunction with geophysics, detailed structural mapping and augmented with data analysis from drilling results to date.   Our goal is to test all of these targets and make a significant discovery,” said, Todd Hilditch, CEO.
