Tombstone Contracts Zonge International For Ground Geophysics

 

PHOENIX, AZ - Tombstone Exploration Corporation reported that the Company has contracted Zonge International to perform ground geophysics across the 400 Acre claim block recently staked by Tombstone in the Eagletail Mining District, Yuma County, and Arizona.

Zonge will perform a ground magnetic survey across the claim block to determine the extent of the Stardust Fault. Previous reports state that the two shafts on the property were sunk along a high angled structure which trends E-NE across the area of outcrop. This structure is thought to be the 'feeder' for the Gold Silver mineralization in the project area. Several reports reference 'free milling gold' from drifts along this fault. Abundant dump material contains anomalous gold and silver values as well as visible copper oxides. Due to the extensive surface disturbance in this area, performing a ground magnetic survey will give a better understanding of the subsurface character of the fault. This method details changes in density in the subsurface and is used to define faults, fractures, and changes in rock types. As a result, this geophysical data will be used to better define the Phase I scope of work, which will involve detailed surface mapping, rock/soil sampling, and delineation of drill targets.

Alan Brown, President of TMBXF, said, "I am confident that the information provided by Zone International will assist us to better understand the mineralization on the property and define our near term drill targets. Zonge started this exploration work on October 26 2015."
