Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. announced that, following a successful mapping and sampling program conducted last month by the Company's Chief Geologist, Jeff Hrncir, about 4.8 kilometers southwest of the Company's main gold target, the Standby Mine, a 2.5 km long north-northwest trending band of well mineralized, metamorphosed and folded chert-grunerite of the Rochford Formation recording some of the highest grade gold values sampled in the Rochford District to date has recently been staked by Mineral Mountain. A total of 15 unpatented BLM claims totaling approximately 280 acres were staked to cover the 2.5 km length of this mineralized trend which includes three historical high-grade gold producers; the Black Eagle situated at the southern end of this trend, and the King of the West and Yellow BirdDeposits both near the north end. This new mineralized trend in the district has seen little modern exploration despite the significant potential to outline large volumes of high-grade mineralized iron formation beginning at surface. The King of the West Mine was discovered in 1900 and explored sporadically until 1936 through a shaft 45 m deep with 69 m of drifts and numerous small open cuts and test pits. The mine reportedly produced 1,547 ounces of gold at an average recovered grade of 7.78 g/t Au (0.25 opt Au) from ores averaging from 10.89 g/t Au to 13.06 g/t Au (0.35 to 0.42 opt Au) head grade. Gold mineralization is hosted in sulfide-rich (pyrrhotite-pyrite-arsenopyrite) cummingtonite-facies iron formation within a small parasitic fold hinge on a larger anticlinal fold structure. Channel sampling at the bottom of the main open cut at the King of the West Mineby Homestake Mine geologists in 1926 (Geological Survey Bulletin 1332-A) recorded a value of 8.09 g/t Au across 9.10m (0.26 opt Au across 29.85 ft.). On the 75-foot (23 m) level two separate ore shoots graded 8.40 g/t Au over 4.88 m and 29.85 g/t Au over 2.74 m. Shallow rotary holes drilled between 1978 and 1984 to maximum depths of just 90 m from surface intercepted significant gold grades including 5.88 g/t Au over 6.10 m, 8.02 g/t Au over 3.05 m and 5.85 g/t Au over 9.14 m. The nearby Yellow Bird Mine is located 210 m northwest of the King of the West. Its history is poorly documented but the mine reportedly produced significant gold in the 1890's, at least 1,900 ounces, from a series of shallow open cuts in sulfide-rich ore. The structural setting of the mine is unclear due to poor outcrop but is evidently located within a northeast-striking shear zone cutting the east limb of a small anticline in the Rochford iron formation. The King of the West-Yellow Bird area is marked by a strong arsenic soil anomaly extending for over 400 m along strike containing values greater than 3,500 ppm As, reflecting the presence of highly oxidized arsenopyrite-rich mineralization.
