Amador Gold Corp.: Silverclaim Exploration Highlights

Marketwired
Amador Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: AGX) is pleased to announce the
commencement of diamond drilling at their Silverclaim Lake Ag/Co/Ni
property. The claims are favourably situated in Mickle Township, in
the heart of the Elk Lake silver camp and are easily accessed by
Highway 560 approximately 7.5 kilometres west from Elk Lake then a
few hundred metres north of the highway on a good dirt road.
The Silverclaim Lake property is the location of the historic
Cotley/Shane- Darragh/Cameron mine site. During its production
history, the mine produced some 63,470 oz of silver, representing
more than half of the roughly 110,000 oz Elk Lake Camp silver
production. Silver mineralization appears to be associated with the
differentiation of the Nipissing Diabase intrusive. This has given
rise to characteristic high grade silver veins accompanied by
significant silver tenors within the diabase host rock.
Previous diamond drilling programs identified two vein systems
striking roughly north -south in the area of the mine workings.
This year's program, nine holes totaling 750 metres, is currently a
shallow program, designed to test depth extensions to the 75 metre
level and strike extensions to the 25 metre level. Assay results
will be released as they become available. A second phase of
drilling will follow compilation of this program's data.
