American Pacific Mining Corp. has reported results from the 2023 Phase II rock and grab sampling programme at the recently acquired Danny Boy claims and western portion of the Tuscarora Project.
Of the 218 samples collected, 40 exceeded 1 g/t with the highest value of 100.84 g/t Au. The Danny Boy claims were acquired through the acquisition of Clearview Gold Inc. in 2023. Danny Boy is located immediately west and continuous to American Pacific’s Tuscarora Project located in Elko County, Nevada.
Highlights:
- 218 samples were collected during the fall 2023 exploration programme, with the highest value assaying 100.84 g/t Au.
- Two assays reported greater than 850 g/t silver with a high value of 1305 g/t Ag.
- Forty samples from the campaign assayed greater than 1 g/t Au, with 22 returning greater than 3 g/t Au.
- Anomalous samples were collected from a variety of different rock types and textures, including veins and silica flooded volcanic rocks, indicating multiple mineralising events and styles.
“The acquisition of Danny Boy in 2023 completed the consolidation of the Tuscarora District,” stated Warwick Smith, CEO of American Pacific. “American Pacific has systematically assembled the largest land package in the recent history of the district. Gold values from past Danny Boy surface sampling have yielded up to 24 g/t Au, so the consistent multi-gramme gold assays and significant silver values exceeded our expectations and drill targets are emerging from our field programmes.”
Tuscarora was the site of historical production and this latest phase of rock sampling provides further evidence of significant grade, while highlighting the remaining potential within the now consolidated Tuscarora District.
“The Tuscarora District is not just about the high-grade epithermal veins. The underlying carbonate rocks encompassing the Carlin and Independence Trends, host 150 million oz of gold to the east and west of Tuscarora under a thrust sheet and in proximity to the largest heat engine ever seen in northeast Nevada,” commented Eric Saderholm, Managing Director of Exploration. “These CRD, skarn and Carlin-style mineralised trends have immense potential to dwarf anything in the near-surface epithermal environment.”
