![Astorius Resources Announces Completion of Drilling at Rainbow Canyon in Nevada](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The Rainbow Canyon property comprises 53 unpatented lode mining claims that cover an area of 417 hectares in the Olinghouse mining district about 40 kilometres east of Reno in Washoe County, Nevada. Geologically, Rainbow Canyon is a low-sulphidation gold prospect located in the northern
Walker Lane structural and metallogenic domain.
Gold mineralization has been identified at numerous locations throughout the property, primarily in the form of quartz veins up to 20cm wide which assay in grab sample from 0 to 79 g/t (ppm) gold. The veins occur in wide (up to 30m) zones of strong argillic alteration over a NE strike distance of more than two kilometers. Most of the veins dip steeply to the southeast. Andesites, basalts and rhyolites of the Miocene Alta and Old Gregory Formation underlie most of the property.
Astorius management is pleased to have completed the drill program and will release the drill results as soon as they are ready.
