Huntsman Exploration Inc. announced that it has commenced the permitting stage for the first phase of a multi-phase drill program at the Baxter Spring Gold Project in Nevada. The company is currently reviewing historic exploration activities on the property, including data from 128 drill holes, and has already identified a number of high priority drill targets. The review is ongoing and onsite activities at Baxter Spring will proceed shortly. Phase I drilling is anticipated to commence in the latter half of first quarter, 2020 with an emphasis placed on confirmation of several known structures. Concurrent to drilling activities, an extensive ground program to support planning and permitting forthe Phase II of drilling is also being developed. The company intends to aggressively follow-up on historical work targeting both known and underexplored areas of the property. Baxter Spring is a historically explored property in an area of Nevada that has demonstrated substantial gold endowment. Nearby projects include the historical Manhattan mining camp and the current Round Mountain Mine. Previous work on Baxter Spring has produced both high grade intervals in drilling (eg. BX-13: 8.81 g/t over 7.6m and BS-8: 60.4 g/t Au over 12.2 m incl 240 g/t Au over 3.1 m) in addition to several intervals of moderate grade, over substantial widths (BSC-1: 0.71 g/Au over 69.04m). Numerous areas of the property have indicated geochemical targets that have not been fully explored, and a number of areas have not seen any exploration to date.
