Michelin Drills 3.75 g/t Gold Over 3.05 m at Rude Creek, Yukon
August 20 2019 - 9:00AM
Michelin Mining Corporation (“Michelin” or the “Company”) (CSE:
MICH) is pleased to announce assay results from its recently
completed three-hole reverse circulation (“RC”) drill program at
its Rude Creek Gold Project (“Rude Creek” or “Project”), located
within the White Gold District, Yukon Territory.
Highlights:
- Hole ROYRC-19-09 intersected 9.15 metres of 1.42
grams/tonne (g/t) gold, including 3.05 metres of
3.75 g/t gold
- Mineralization is shallow (the wider intercept starts at 41.46
metres downhole or about 36 metres vertically from surface)
- Gold mineralization was encountered in all three drill
holes
- These results represent the first-ever drilling at the
Northeast soil anomaly and the best drill results to date on the
Rude Creek property
- The Northeast soil anomaly is open along trend and down
dip
- Follow-up work at Rude Creek is warranted, including infill and
expansion soil sampling, IP/resistivity surveys and further
drilling
President and CEO Mark T. Brown stated, “We are
encouraged by this early success with Michelin’s first drill
program at Rude Creek. The presence of shallow but moderate-grade
gold mineralization bodes well for the previously undrilled NE Zone
at Rude Creek.”
Details on Drill Results
The Rude Creek Gold Project, is located within
Yukon’s Dawson Range gold district, 45 kilometres southeast of
Newmont Goldcorp’s Coffee orogenic type gold deposit, 80 kilometres
southeast of the recent Vertigo discovery and 72 km southeast of
the Golden Saddle deposit, both orogenic type gold systems owned by
White Gold Corp. The Casino copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry deposit
(different deposit type) is located 5 km from Rude Creek. The
Project is comprised of 204 quartz claims.
The work program at Rude Creek was concentrated
at the Northeast Anomaly, where multiple anomalous gold-in-soil
trends were previously identified, along with anomalous pathfinder
elements such as arsenic and bismuth (see attached image).

True thicknesses are not known at this
time. RC drill holes are sampled in 1.5 metre intervals,
which may not coincide with the mineralized thicknesses.
Holes ROYRC-19-09 and ROYRC-19-10 were drilled
from the same pad with azimuths of 81° and 261° and dips of -60°
and -70° respectively. Hole ROYRC-19-11 was drilled approximately
800 metres to the east with an azimuth of 81° and dip of -60°. Each
of the three RC holes was drilled to a depth of approximately 100
metres downhole. A plan map of the holes is shown in the attached
image.
Drill holes primarily intersected granodiorite.
The mineralized interval in hole ROYRC-19-09 was characterized by
observed limonite (hydrated iron oxide) and elevated levels of
pyrite (iron sulphide). Gold in this interval was correlated with
elevated arsenic (478 ppm As) and bismuth (283 ppm Bi).
Management is reviewing the results and will
determine next steps for the Rude Creek Gold Project.
Quality Assurance / Quality
Control
Mineralized intervals were analysed by Bureau
Veritas Minerals. Sample preparation was completed in Whitehorse,
YT and analyses were conducted in Vancouver, BC. All samples
were assayed for gold content using fire assay techniques (FA430)
with a 30 gram sample and multiple path finder elements (AQ200). An
industry standard quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program
consisting of the insertion of certified standards, blanks and
duplicates into the sample stream was used.
