Claims Staked At New Anderson Ridge Property
VANCOUVER - Visionary Gold Corp. reported the discovery of several new gold and copper exploration targets on its recently-staked Anderson Ridge claims located 32 kilometers (km) west of the Wolf Gold Project in Fremont County, Wyoming. A total of 135 rock chip samples and 22 soil samples have been collected, including high-grade samples of up to 15.95 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold and 27.7 g/t silver, and a separate sample of up to 6.18% copper.
CEO, Wes Adams, said, “We came to central Wyoming eighteen months ago and began systematically exploring a historically productive orogenic gold belt using modern techniques resulting in the discovery of multiple styles of gold and copper mineralization regionally. It is rare to identify as many prospects as we have in our first full season of exploration, and especially rare that each of Visionary’s prospects are near powerlines, accessible by road and located within an hour’s drive of our headquarters in Lander, Wyoming. We are already advancing our recently announced Tin Cup and Black Rock prospects with geophysical surveys, and are moving toward drilling our Wolf, Black Rock and Lewiston-Miz targets in July. These new discoveries at Anderson Ridge represent exciting new targets, which are a key part of our project pipeline. Drilling multiple targets this year, whilst advancing others, provides the Company the best chance for success in both the near and long-term.”
Visionary’s Anderson Ridge Property is located approximately 32 km northeast of the Company’s Wolf Gold Project and 50 km southwest of Lander, Wyoming. It consists of four separate contiguous claim blocks covering an area of approximately 4200 acres (17 square km). Gold and copper values were collected from veins and interpreted shear zones within a regional fault corridor, adjacent to granitic intrusives. Mineralization at Anderson Ridge displays similar geochemistry to Visionary’s previously announced Lewiston-Miz target, where elevated levels of pathfinder elements including arsenic, bismuth, tungsten, and tellurium are present in high-grade gold and copper samples. Both targets have been interpreted as structurally controlled orogenic gold targets with possible secondary silver and copper mineralization. Additional geologic mapping, soil sampling and magnetic surveying on the Anderson Ridge claims will be the next steps toward identifying specific drill targets.
