Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. announced that it has received an exploration permit for the Phoenix property in Greenwood, B.C. The new, multi-year area-based exploration permit is for trenching and drilling the Phoenix group of claims held by Kettle River Resources Ltd., which is a subsidiary of Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. The Kettle River properties includes the Tam O'Shanter and Phoenix claim groups. The Tam O'Shanter group contains the Deadwood gold deposit, with and Inferred Mineral Resource of 874,000 tonnes grading 0.66 grams per tonne gold (as documented in the May 5, 2017 PEA Technical Report). The Phoenix group covers 9,817.51 ha. and includes several historic copper-gold and silver mines, with past production at the historic Phoenix deposit reported as 27 million tonnes at a grade of 0.9% Copper and 1.12 g/t Gold. The new exploration permit will allow exploration trenching and drilling in areas north of the Phoenix mine, including Sylvester K, Gilt Edge (Cu-Au), Minnie Moore (Ag-Au) and Summit/R. Bell (Au) prospects. The Sylvester K exploration target, as defined in the 2017 PEA report, is 150,000 - 250,000 tonnes with a grade range of 6-8 g/t Au. The Gilt Edge is a copper-gold mineral occurrence with similarities to the nearby Phoenix deposit. Mineralization consists of disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite. The exploration potential is a depth extension of disseminated mineralization exposed at surface.
