Chargeability Anomaly Defined At Poker Brown 

 

VANCOUVER, BC - Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. has defined two chargeability anomalies on its Poker Brown gold-silver project, Nevada. Anomaly A is greater than 500 m long and 200 m wide, with strong chargeability values ranging from 40 to over 50 ms (milliseconds) and is strongest at depths of over 150 m below surface, reflecting the probable maximum depth of oxidation. This anomaly underlies the main area of historical surface workings, including vein, breccia and stockwork mineralization, and the area of most intense alteration on the property as defined by recent mapping. Anomaly B is 1,000 m by 600 m in size and ranges from 20 to 35 ms. Located to the north of Anomaly A, it underlies a broad area of structurally controlled and stockwork gold mineralization and alteration. The chargeability anomalies are interpreted to be caused by disseminated pyrite mineralization, which is associated with gold and silver mineralization at Poker Brown. These anomalies provide high priority targets for the Company's drill program at Poker Brown, planned for early 2017.

Poker Brown is road accessible and located 190 km from Reno. The target is a bulk tonnage, heap leachable gold deposit. The 3-D Induced Polarization geophysical survey, covering a 1.25 km by 1.5 km area, was completed by SJ Geophysics of Delta, BC.
