Millennial Intersects 1.89 g/t Au Over 39.3m, Within Broader Intercept of 0.49 g/t Oxide Au Over 275.5m at Mountain View Project

03.11.2021  |  CNW
TORONTO, Nov. 3, 2021 - Millennial Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: MPM) ("Millennial" or the "Company") is pleased to provide results from the ongoing resource conversion and exploration drill program currently being conducted at its Mountain View project located in Nevada, USA, as a part of the fully funded 20,000m maiden drill program. The 2021 Phase 1 Mountain View drill program consists of 30 holes, totaling 7,250m and is approximately 68% complete. Millennial expects to continue to release drill results from the program every month.

Highlights:

  • Drillhole MVCD-0015 returned an intercept of 0.49 g/t oxide Au over 275.5m including a high-grade intercept of 2.14 g/t Au over 12.2m and 1.89 g/t over 39.3m (refer to Table 1 for detailed interval results).

    • The high-grade intercept is characterized by a subvertical hydrothermal breccia dike affected by silica, illite and fine-grained sulphides that are now completely oxidized.
    • The high-grade hydrothermal breccia was not reported in the historical RC drilling.
    • The high-grade zone is characterized by a hydrothermal breccia with quartz, pyrite and marcasite within the matrix.
    • The lower-grade zone is characterized by the disseminated oxide portion of the deposit hosted by flow-banded rhyolite.
    • MVCD-0015 was designed to convert resources within the current block model from Inferred to Indicated and to target the feeder zone in the epithermal system in support of an updated mineral resource in H1 2022 and PEA in H2 2022.
    • The existing block model at Mountain View is based on historical results which were drilled primarily with RC (reverse circulation) rigs. Millennial's program is being completed principally with DDH (diamond drill hole) rigs.
    • Grade observed in MVCD-0015 is ~56% higher than expected from the block model.
    • Based on Millennial's interpretation, it appears that the mineralized rhyolite is situated directly below the alluvium, which is composed of sand, gravels and boulders as seen in Figures 1 and 2. As a result, it is expected that pre-stripping for open-pit mining will not require conventional drilling and blasting, potentially reducing mining costs.
    • Minor, post-mineral faulting has broken the host rock which is expected to have a positive impact on gold leaching and to reduce processing costs.
  • MVCD-0005 and MVCD-0006 were designed to test the lower-grade portion of the pit and to test the overburden depth on the eastern margin.
    • Holes displayed lower grade mineralization - grade observed in MVCD-0006 was ~12% higher than expected from the block model and grade observed in MVCD-0005 was ~22% lower than expected from the block model.
    • Mineralization is characterized by the disseminated oxide portion of the deposit hosted by flow-banded rhyolite.
  • MVCD-0007 and MVCD-0009 were designed to test the eastern extent of the mineralization and to complete geotechnical logging and testing for the pit wall design.
    • Mineralization is closed off to the east but may be open within the intrusive beyond the range front fault.

Jason Kosec, President, CEO & Director of Millennial stated, "we are very excited with the recent results at our Mountain View project, highlighted by MVCD-0015. The observed grade continues to impress, being higher than the expected grade from the block model, even within some of the lower-grade zones. The rock mechanics observed in holes MVCD-0007 and MVCD-0009 look quite promising and will potentially allow for steeper pit wall angles and lower dilution in future mining scenarios."

Mountain View Project Overview:

Mountain View is located within the Deep Hole mining district in Nevada, 24km north of the town of Gerlach within Washoe County. The project area is covered by a 3,169-acre land package consisting of 154 unpatented claims, located on federally owned lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Gold-dominated mineralization at Mountain View consists of low sulfidation epithermal veins and disseminated oxide and sulphide mineralization hosted in Cenozoic volcanic rocks. Mountain View has an Inferred mineral resource estimate containing 427,000 ounces of Au (oxide) (23.2 million tonnes at 0.57 g/t Au; effective date of November 15, 2020).
