Providence Gold Mines Inc. announced that a "Spidex" excavator contractor has been commissioned to be onsite July 10, 2021. The purpose of the program is to trench and sample the recently announced gold discoveries on its Providence Gold Property located nearby the city of Sonora, California. Surface reconnaissance at the location of a previously reported circular, (and approximately 4 metres in diameter), gold-in-soil anomaly confirms the discovery of a localized coincident sericitic alteration bloom which appears to be associated to a prominent cross-fault. This surface exploration gold target appears to be situated north of, and in the footwall of the Fairplay Lode, which hosts the Providence North and South Ore shoots. Trenching of two others recently discovered separate barren sericitic alteration blooms is also planned. These two zones potentially represent new exploration targets. Typically, these intense barren sericitic alteration blooms constitute high-confidence exploration targets at Mother Lode Belt mine properties.
