Miranda Gold: Montezuma Completes 2013 Drilling at Miranda´s Red Canyon Gold Project
Miranda Gold: Montezuma Completes 2013 Drilling at Miranda´s Red Canyon Gold Project
Vancouver, BC, Canada –September 16, 2013– Miranda Gold Corp. (“Miranda”) (TSX-V: MAD) is pleased to announce its exploration funding partner at Red Canyon, Montezuma Mines Inc. ("Montezuma"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CMQ Resources Inc. (TSX-V:NV), has completed its 2013 drill campaign at Red Canyon. Montezuma drilled three reverse circulation (“RC”) holes in the Wall structural corridor for a total of 2,170 ft (661.4 m).
The three RC holes tested portions of the northwest-trending Wall structural corridor, interpreted from gravity and resistivity surveys, in the Wall (two holes) and Ice (one hole) target areas. The corridor is approximately 1,500 ft (460 m) wide, at least 13,000 ft (4,000 m) long, and includes all or portions of three of the nine identified exploration targets at Red Canyon. Montezuma's 2009 core hole MR09-05C intersected 39 ft of 0.281 oz Au/ton (11.9 m of 9.64 g Au/t) in the vicinity of interpreted Wall corridor structures in the Ice target area. Montezuma's three 2013 RC holes probed the margins of the Wall corridor for intersections of inferred bounding faults with favorable limestone stratigraphy. All holes intersected calcareous siltstone to limestone and anomalous gold ranging up to 0.051 g Au/t.
Montezuma remains confident that Red Canyon contains opportunity for a significant gold discovery. After evaluating the accumulated project data, Montezuma will propose a work plan for 2014.
Since 2009, Montezuma performed geologic mapping, revised stratigraphic interpretations, completed soil and rock-chip geochemical surveys, and contracted CSAMT resistivity, ground magnetic, and gravity geophysical surveys. To date, Montezuma drilled a total of 35 RC and three core holes for a total of 35,212 ft (10,732.6 m). Montezuma conducts its drilling under the Bureau of Land Management-approved Red Canyon Plan of Operations that permits up to 125 acres (50 hectares) of total disturbance.
Project Details
The Red Canyon project is in Eureka County, Nevada, includes 254 unpatented lode mining claims (7.9 sq mi / 20.6 sq km) on the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend, and adjoins U.S. Gold's Tonkin Springs property to the west. The project covers an erosional "window" through the upper plate of the Roberts Mountains Thrust that exposes hydrothermally altered and brecciated lower-plate carbonate rocks that are age equivalent to the rocks hosting Barrick Gold's Cortez Hills gold deposit.
All data disclosed in this press release have been reviewed by Vice President of Exploration, Joe Hebert, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
Corporate Profile
Miranda Gold Corp. is a gold exploration company active in Nevada, Alaska and Colombia and whose emphasis is on generating gold exploration projects with world-class discovery potential. Miranda performs its own grass-roots exploration and then employs a joint venture business model on its projects in order to maximize exposure to discovery while minimizing exploration risk. Miranda has ongoing partnerships with, Montezuma Mines Inc., Prism Resources Inc., Ramelius Resources Ltd., and Red Eagle Mining Corporation.
