Millrock Partner Resolution Minerals Reports Drilling Results at Sunrise Prospect, 64North Gold Project, Alaska
May 18 2021 - 8:30AM
Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MRO, OTCQB: MLRKF) ("Millrock" or
the “Company”) is pleased to announce that partner Resolution
Minerals Ltd. (ASX: RML) has reported that thick intervals of
intrusion-hosted gold mineralization have been intersected at the
Sunrise prospect, 64North gold project. The intervals were
intersected in a recent rotary air blast (RAB) drill program that
was carried out at the project.
In total, Resolution drilled 27 holes along a fence
1,400 meters in length. The style of mineralization is similar to
that observed at the Fort Knox gold mine operated by Kinross near
Fairbanks, Alaska. Drilling detected gold over a 280-meter-wide
corridor which is open at depth and to the north and south. The
host granite intrusion is interpreted to extend more than one
kilometer to the south of the recently completed RAB drilling. The
gold mineralization is contained within a large gold-in-soil
anomaly. The Sunrise prospect is located approximately four
kilometers southwest of the Pogo Mine, which is operated by
Northern Star Resources Limited.
Drill result highlights
include: |
Hole 21SU007 |
36.6 meters at 0.33 g/t gold from surface |
|
Including: |
1.5 meters at
1.42 g/t gold from 1.5 meters depth, and |
|
|
1.5 meters at 2.60 g/t gold from 9.1 meters depth. |
|
|
|
Hole 21SU009 |
74.7 meters at 0.26 g/t gold from surface over the
entire length of the hole |
|
Including: |
1.5 meters at 1.77 g/t gold from 12.2 meters depth, and |
|
|
1.5 meters at 1.02 g/t gold from 48.4 meters. |
Of the 27 holes drilled, nine holes intersected
gold mineralization grading above a cut-off grade of 0.1 g/t gold
over significant intervals. The drill results indicate a
mineralized corridor 280 meters in length. There is a strong
association of bismuth and arsenic with gold-mineralized rock. This
is the same metal association observed at Kinross’ Fort Knox gold
mine. A complete listing of results is shown in Table 1A.
Resolution also reports that other potential
Fort Knox style intrusive targets have been recognized near the
Pogo Mine road, proximal to the Sunrise Prospect. The company plans
to make a ground appraisal of the Sunrise Prospect and surrounding
prospects in late May. Further drilling and geophysics are under
consideration.
Resolution is also planning a 2,000 meter
reverse circulation helicopter-supported drilling program on the
East Pogo Prospect. The drilling is scheduled to commence in early
June. High-grade gold mineralization identified last year during
surface work is to be targeted.
