Monster Mining Reports 2.0 m of 2953 g/t Ag in Trench Sample From Keno-Lightning, Yukon
The Company has also received the results of a 37-sample soil geochemical program conducted at Faith Gulch and designed to extend a 700 m by 800 m zone of coincident Au-As anomalism(1) identified by a survey conducted in July 2011. The new results expand the area of coincident Au-As anomalism by over 200 m to the south, and returned grades up to 10.1 ppm Ag over an area interpreted to cover the intersection of the Caribou vein, Caribou fault and two un-named north-east trending longitudinal veins. Intersections of veins and cross faults historically have been provided the highest grades and most tonnage in the Keno Hill district(2), and the results of this program advance the Faith Gulch prospect as a drill target for 2012. Anomalism remains open to the south and east. The Caribou Hill and Homestake targets are currently being tested by Monster Mining's 2011 diamond drilling program.
Monster Mining's Keno-Lightning property is located in the historic Keno Hill district, which produced over 200 million ounces of silver between 1913 and 1989(2). The project, which comprises 329 claims covering 6,650 hectares, represents 35 % of the district.
