BP Carlin-Type Project in Nevada 

VANCOUVER, BC – Almaden Minerals Ltd. reported that it has located 207 claims in Mineral County Nevada in an area identified during a helicopter borne prospecting program in central Nevada. This prospecting program utilised geological models and Aster satellite imagery to target unrecognised Carlin type mineralisation. J.D. Poliquin, Chairman, said "Our prospecting and project generation programs continue to yield results and we are very excited about the acquisition of the BP project in Nevada. We look forward to following up this discovery with property scale work in the near future."

The claims cover an area of jasperoid and clay alteration developed in an exposed debris flow in lower plate rocks, the geologic succession that hosts many of the important gold deposits in northern Nevada. The alteration and host rocks are typical of that of major Carlin type deposits in Nevada and the prospect is located roughly 30 miles from the Carlin district along the Carlin trend. The prospect is located nearby good access but off roads and no evidence of past work was noted in the area except for several small barite workings. The company’s address is Suite 1103, 750 West Pender St, Vancouver, BC V6C 2T8.
