Alianza Minerals Completes Isy Work Program in Peru

VANCOUVER, BC - Alianza Minerals Ltd. reported that a prospecting, mapping and sampling program has been completed at the Isy epithermal gold and silver property in the Ayacucho Department, Peru. A total of 114 samples were submitted for analyses, including 18 soil samples, 91 rock samples and 5 control standards. Highlights of the program include the expansion of the area of low sulphidation quartz veining at the Jello Orcco area to a strike length of 2.7 kilometers and a vertical extent of 200 meters. This program was designed to gain a better understanding of the lithologic and structural controls of quartz veining and epithermal alteration as well as to assess the overall breadth of veining and alteration on the property.

Isy is located 110 kilometers east of Ica, Peru. It is an early stage gold-silver exploration property that was acquired in 2010 based on regional analysis of LANDSAT alteration anomalies, structural geology, and regional metallogenic studies. The property is underlain by Miocene volcanic rocks that host epithermal-style alteration and quartz veining. Alianza's predecessor, Estrella Gold, completed initial reconnaissance mapping and sampling which confirmed the presence of anomalous gold values in two locations, with associated highly anomalous epithermal-suite metals (antimony, arsenic, mercury).

At the Jello Orcco prospect area, previous work sampled 83.8 gram per tonne (g/t) silver and 0.54 g/t gold from low sulphidation-style quartz veining. This area was targeted for detailed follow up including 1:2000 scale mapping, prospecting and sampling which resulted in the identification of north trending veins generally 0.4 to 1.5 meters in width (locally up to 10 meters wide) occurring discontinuously over 2.7 kilometers of strike length. The veins are hosted in a variable sequence of volcaniclastic rocks.
