Patriot Gold Completes New Resource Report for Moss Mine Gold Project, Arizona

PR Newswire (US)
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Patriot Gold Corp.
(OTC Bulletin Board : PGOL) today announced completion of a
resource study at its Moss Mine Gold Project located 10 miles east
of Bullhead City, Arizona and approximately 70 miles southeast of
Las Vegas, Nevada. The project hosts a drill indicated gold-silver
resource of 20.8 million tons grading 0.028 oz/ton gold equivalent
for a total of 591,750 ounces (gold equivalent). Patriot Gold
engaged Paul D. Noland, a registered professional geologist to
conduct the independent study. This resource was determined using
the assumption that the deposit will be an open pit, bulk minable,
heap leach mine. To keep mining and grade control cost minimal,
sub-cut off grade material within the boundary of the resource was
allowed to dilute the final grade. Although the resource is classed
as drill-indicated it will require systematic in-fill and down-dip
drilling to be placed into a final reserve category. A breakdown of
the gold and silver content of the resource is shown in the table
below. The full report is available at

likelihood of finding additional bulk minable ore on the property
is considered very good. Patriot Gold geologists have suggested the
possibility of main zone mineralization continuing at depth. Much
of the Main Zone remains untested down dip. The main body of
mineralization appears to widen to the west along strike, but the
grade decreases. However, with the lower grades needed for an open
pit, heap leachable deposit, this material is now part of the
resource. This means the deposit is open-ended to the west.
Continued drill evaluation of down-dip and strike extensions is
recommended by Mr. Noland. Disclaimer: This announcement may
