Phase I Work Program Completed at Haldane Silver Property
VANCOUVER, July 11, 2019 - Alianza Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: ANZ) (“Alianza” or the “Company”) reports that phase I of the 2019 field program has been completed at the Haldane Property, a high-grade silver target in the historic Keno Hill Mining District of Yukon Territory. This phase of the program consisted of soil geochemical sampling, mapping and trenching and was completed to help refine targets for drilling in August. The 8,579 hectare Haldane Property is located 25 km west of Keno City, YT in the western portion of the Keno Hill Silver District.
“We are pleased with our progress in 2019,” stated Jason Weber, P.Geo, president and CEO of Alianza. “New targets such as the Bighorn anomaly and the extensions of known target areas such as the Ross and Mt. Haldane Veins System targets are our primary focus in preparation for drilling later this summer. The information from the first phase this summer will help prioritize drilling for the second phase program.”
The 2019 phase I program targeted three main areas: the newly identified Bighorn and Ross anomalies and the Mt Haldane Vein System (MHVS). Trenching was completed at the Bighorn and MHVS areas, with three trenches totaling 153 metres excavated at the Bighorn Anomaly and one new trench (West Fault Road trench) completed at the MHVS. Eighty-seven grab and chip samples and 8 soil samples were collected from trenches.
Additional soil geochemical sampling was also completed west of the Bighorn Anomaly and several lines of in-fill soil samples were collected at the MHVS where prior sampling widely-spaced or incomplete. A total of 409 soils were collected.
The analytical results, in conjunction with geological and structural mapping completed during the program, will be used to target drilling for the phase II program slated for August, 2019. Analytical results are expected to be received by late July.
