Reno, NV, May 22, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dakota Territory Resource Corp (DTRC) ("Dakota Territory" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's research of historic data has identified high grade gold mineralization under Dakota Territory’s recently acquired property at Maitland. In the 1960’s, Homestake Mining Company collared diamond drill hole # 6091A at the western fringe of the Maitland Mine and drilled at a -50 degree angle to the southwest across Dakota Territory’s recent land acquisition. The hole was drilled to a total depth of 137.5 meters, including an 11.3 meter-long intercept from 111.2 meters to 122.5 meters down hole containing 5.18 grams per tonne gold. The gold intercept in diamond drill hole #6091A was in the Precambrian Poorman – Homestake – Ellison stratigraphic sequence that hosted the 40 million ounce Homestake gold deposit located just over 4 km to the south.
Dakota Territory acquired the historic Homestake diamond drill data through a commercial use agreement with the Homestake Adams Research and Cultural Center at Deadwood, SD. The Homestake Adams Research and Cultural Center maintains the 125-year record of Homestake’s mining activities in the Northern Black Hills of South Dakota, including data sets and technical reports for the Homestake Mine and other properties.
Richard Bachman, Certified Professional Geologist, has reviewed the technical disclosure contained in this news release and is a Qualified Person of the Company.
About Dakota Territory Resource Corp
Dakota Territory Resource Corp. is a Nevada Corporation with offices located at Reno, Nevada. Dakota Territory is committed to creating shareholder value through the acquisition and responsible exploration and development of high caliber gold properties in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
In terms of total historic US gold production, the Black Hills ranks second only to the Carlin District of northeast Nevada, with the gold production of the Black Hills concentrated in a 100 square mile area known as the Homestake District. Dakota Territory maintains 100% ownership of three mineral properties including the Blind Gold, City Creek and Homestake Paleoplacer Properties, all of which are located in the heart of the Homestake District and cover a total of approximately 3,341 acres. The Blind Gold Property is located approximately 4 miles northwest and on structural trend with the historic Homestake Gold Mine. Through its 125 year production history, the Homestake Gold Mine produced approximately 40 million ounces of gold and is the largest iron-formation-hosted gold deposit in the world
In the 1980's and 1990's Homestake Mining Company undertook a $70 million exploration program managed by Richard Bachman, president and chief executive officer of Dakota Territory that was focused primarily on the search for a repeat of the Homestake Mine. This program successfully discovered significant new gold mineralization beyond the confines of the producing mine, demonstrating repeatability and the potential for additional gold deposits in the Homestake iron-formation host. This program also proved the continuous extension of the Homestake iron-formation to a distance of approximately 4 miles from the producing mine and under the Blind Gold Property.
Dakota Territory Resource Corp. is uniquely positioned to leverage Management's extensive exploration and mining experience in the Black Hills of South Dakota with Homestake Mining Company. For more information on Dakota Territory, please visit the Company's website at http://DakotaTRC.com/.
