Drilling Start Up On Historic Baner Gold Mine Property

CALGARY – Legacy Gold Mines Ltd. announced that drilling will commence on the Baner gold property located in Idaho County, Idaho. Permits and approvals were received in July from the US Forest Service, and the Company assembled the required contractors to target the mid-August start up date. The Baner Gold Mine Property sits within the Orogrande Mining District that includes numerous gold deposits and gold mines along geologic structures that have hosted gold production since Idaho’s first gold rush in the late 1800’s.
“We are excited to test the potential for gold mineralization our team believes there is on the Orogrande structure, which has hosted gold production from many mines in the past,” said Brian Hinchcliffe, CEO. “Once drill approvals were in hand, the Legacy Gold team finalized plans with all contractors such that drilling will be completed in September, unless we extend the drill plan.”
“Since acquiring our option on the Baner Gold Mine Property, a great deal of prospecting and surface sampling has been carried out and we are very pleased with these results, which found 20 historic mine shafts and adits and returned some high-grade assays at these historic mining sites,” said Mike Sutton, VP, Exploration. “We are concentrating now on finalizing the drill plans for the start up.”
