Rimrock Gold Corp. Defines Five New Drill Sites at Rimrock Project, Nevada
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Jul 23, 2013) - Rimrock Gold Corp., a Nevada corporation, (the "Company") (
The new drill sites were defined through interpretation of geological, geochemical, and geophysical data collected on the project by various former property owners and option-holders over the past 35 years. The Company's management team has identified several mineralization targets along the IC Fault system, including the large Dilation Zone located between two well-defined faults representing a 100 meter wide drill target area. The Company plans to drill-test the area of convergence of these two faults at the northern and southern ends of the Dilation Zone. The Rimrock project has never been drill-tested specifically for the Midas-style gold-silver mineralization envisioned by the Company's management. Rock samples from a recently completed surface sampling program at the project show anomalous values of several indicator metals typically associated with Midas-Hollister gold deposits, including arsenic and selenium.
Overall, the Company's comprehensive database for the Rimrock project provides a much clearer basis for defining the presence, geometry, and depth extensions of north-south trending structures that contain opalite-cinnabar (mercury sulfide) mineralization. The Company is planning to drill these initial targets, upon posting the requisite reclamation bond and receiving the drill-permit from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
"We have made significant progress at Rimrock in a very short period of time. This is a very exciting time for the Company and we are looking forward to advancing the property to the next stage," stated President and CEO Jordan Starkman.
