Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd.’s CEO Talks About the Potential of Finding Modern Day Gold in The Black Hills with Uptick Newswire’s Stock Day Podcast
PHOENIX, Oct. 29, 2018 - Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. (“OTCQX: MNRLF”) (TSXV: “MMV”) (“Company”) through its wholly owned subsidiary Mineral Mountain Resources (SD) Inc., is focused on the exploration of its 100%-owned Rochford Gold Project situated along the highly prospective Homestake Gold Belt in the Black Hills of South Dakota, U.S.A. Nelson Baker, President and CEO, talked with Stock Day’s Everett Jolly about their plans in South Dakota.
Nelson started by explaining that they are a group of geologists that have had a lot of success in Canada before turning to the Black Hills.
“We have spent a considerable amount of research and time in the Black Hills researching the Homestake gold trend. We determined, because of the lack of modern-day exploration, that the potential to host another modern day Homestake style deposit was high. We felt there was no better place to explore, other than mining friendly, South Dakota.”
He told Jolly that the company has been there since 2012. Jolly then asked Nelson why he believes the Homestake gold trend can host another gold deposit.
“The Black Hills host the largest gold deposit of its kind in the world,” Nelson explained. “That’s the Homestake Gold Mine, at the northern end of a 70-kilometer belt that stretches from Homestake to the Keystone area. The Homestake Mine produced over 40 million ounces, it’s unique in the fact that it never ran out of gold, it had to shut down because the deposit got too uneconomic to mine at the very deep depths of 8300 ft. and gold under $300 per oz. Over 125 years, it never misses making a profit.”
He said that in the latter parts of the mine life, it closed in 2001, the operation was economically negative, so an exploration budget of $70 million was set up to find other near surface deposits in the area, which now is the site for Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd.’s stand by Standby mine.
“It was always thought by explorers that the Homestake Mine was a unique event,” Nelson said. “However, our work, database, and drilling at Standby refutes that. We believe Homestake holds more deposits and we are focusing our efforts in the Rochford District.”
Nelson went on to explain that since the mine was discovered in 1876, it started a massive claim staking rush. Everyone in the mining industry flocked there, but in those days you could only stake small claims. This made the area fragmented with small claim packages, the mineralization often extended onto adjacent claims which impeded large land block assemble which is needed for modern day mining. The most active time of the mine and along the belt ended in about 1920, so modern methods were not yet available.
“The last meaningful exploration in the Rochford area was in 1997. After that there was very little sophisticated, well planned exploration in the Black Hills. So, we spent a lot of time and money consolidating the gold belt after we flew the area with modern day airborne geophysics. Using the geophysics as our guide, we ended up staking the most prospective gold structures trending through the Rochford District similar geologically to Ledge #9 and the main Homestake ledges that produced 9.5 million and 19.7 million oz. between the 2000 and 3000 ft. level. We now have over 7,500 acres. We now have the best database ever put together in the Black Hills. That coupled with excellent comparisons to the Homestake Mine, makes the Rochford District an excellent area to explore for world class high grade gold deposits.”
Jolly then asked how phase I drilling at Standby is going. Nelson says that the results prove they have another potential Homestake style deposit.
“We are dealing with a major gold structure,” he said.

About Mineral Mountain Resources and the Rochford Gold Project
Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd., through its wholly owned subsidiary Mineral Mountain Resources (SD) Inc., is focused on the exploration of its 100%-owned Rochford Gold Project situated along the highly prospective Homestake Gold Belt in the Black Hills of South Dakota, U.S.A. The Rochford Project covers approximately 7,500 acres and straddles three major trends of structurally thickened auriferous iron formation that host ledge-type gold mineralization.
Since 2012, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Mineral Mountain Resource (SD) Inc., has spent over $10 million US in gold exploration in the Black Hills of South Dakota and controls the largest land position in the Rochford greenstone belt and now possesses by far the largest and most comprehensive database for the district in modern day exploration history! The Rochford Project is vastly under-explored and MMV’s Phase 1 drill results reinforces the districts potential to host district scale gold discoveries.
