Pathways For Mineralization Identified At The Coleman Canyon Property

VANCOUVER – Black Mammoth Metals Corporation reported on the UAV magnetic survey (Mag. Survey) at Coleman Canyon property located in Elko County, NV along with the related staking of 103 federal unpatented lode claims for a Property total of 192 contiguous unpatented lode claims managed by the US Forest Service. Together with the patented claims, Coleman Canyon now covers a total of approximately 1554 hectares (3842 acres).
The Mag. Survey area covers the entire Property including the newly staked ground at 50m flight line spacing and at 50m above ground level. The Mag. Survey’s objective was to identify any extensions of the known gold and silver mineralized areas that have not yet been drilled or not drilled deep enough to test those possible extensions.
The following interpreted structural features of the Mag. Survey are believed to be pathways for mineralizing fluids based on past drilling and modelling:
Large structural features are indicated along the northern side of the intrusive and are interpreted to be NE trending faults that cut across much of the intrusive and adjacent sedimentary units.
There is a large magnetic high anomaly to the west of the intrusive interpreted to be an off-shoot of the intrusive and appears to be structurally controlled by a north-trending fault or fracture zone.
The Mag. Survey shows strong magnetic high anomalies along the southern side of the intrusive that coincide with known gold mineralization from past drilling. The extension of a magnetic high response to the south, north and west suggests influence by the intrusion and its related fluids farther out from the known proximal mineralization. These areas have not been drilled in most locations deep enough to test if the dipping rock units are mineralized. The magnetic high anomalies towards the far west and NW sides of the Mag Survey have not been drilled.
At Coleman Canyon, the majority of the known gold and silver mineralization is hosted by sedimentary and meta-sedimentary rocks surrounding a central intrusive stock. Mineralization in the sedimentary units is restricted to calcareous beds of the Hammond Canyon Formation and parts of the overlying Poorman Creek Formation, in keeping with a “proximal Carlin” deposit model. These units have been pushed up during emplacement of the intrusive so that the units dip away from the intrusive on all sides, flattening with distance from the intrusive. Mineralization appears to be controlled by bedding and partly by structural features, including faults and fracturing interpreted to have provided pathways for mineralizing fluids. There is also vein mineralization in the intrusive stock.
The Mag. Survey has helped clarify the possibility of extensions to areas of known gold and silver mineralization that will require drilling to verify any mineralization. The Company may conduct other work-up activities prior to drilling which may include further geological, geochemical, and geophysical work.
