First American Silver Completes Canadian NI 43-101 on Mount Jackson Property
24 February 2012 - 2:02AM
Business Wire
First American Silver Corp. (OTCBB: FASV), a mining exploration
company, today announced that the Company completed a Canadian
National Instrument (NI) 43-101 on its Mount Jackson property,
located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. NI 43-101 is a set of rules
and guidelines developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators
(CSA) that governs how issuers disclose scientific and technical
information about their mineral projects to the public.
While the NI 43-101 report states the two zones of gold/silver
mineralization as presently known are relatively small, the 2011
drilling program completed by First American Silver also produced
encouraging results. During the program, five holes were drilled,
all of which encountered disseminated mineralization to varying
degrees. Recent reinterpretation of all data generated to date by
the Company's geologist appears to indicate that hole PC-34A which
returned a 20 foot (6.10 meters) section of 7.38 grams per ton of
gold and 6.67 grams per ton of silver may represent the upper
reaches of the feeder for the mineralization found in Zone A on the
property. The report goes on to state that there is a reasonable
expectation that similar and possibly even better mineralized zones
may be found on the property as evidenced by the discovery of high
grade copper mineralization that was recently identified while
sampling elsewhere on the property. It is the Company's intention
to follow this discovery with more drilling in the area.
“This independent report on our Mount Jackson prospect is
extremely encouraging as it provides the rationale for further
analysis and the possibility that multiple minerals, including
gold, silver and copper, may be found in minable quantities on the
property,” said Thomas J. Menning, President and CEO.
Based on the initial findings and the report recommendations,
the prospect warrants concurrent geochemical, geological surveys
and a ground magnetic survey. The Company plans a $250,000 budget
that will include these surveys along with 2000 meters of Reverse
Circulation (RC) Drilling and 1000 meters of Diamond Drilling.
About the Mount Jackson Prospect
The Mount Jackson Prospect consists of approximately 3080 acres
(1246 hectares) and is located in Esmeralda County, Nevada to the
south of the historic town of Goldfield, in an under-explored
portion of the prolific Walker Lane Belt. The area is easily
accessible west of Mount Jackson along the southerly extension of
the Goldfield Hills. Mineralization at the site is hosted in
sedimentary rocks of the Lower Cambrian Harkness formation and
tends to be disseminated and relatively widespread. Mineralization
is found on surface along the crest of an antiform proximal to the
thrust faulted contact of Harkless sediments and overlying Emigrant
limestones. Significant gold (Au) and silver (Ag) mineralization
was discovered at Mount Jackson by Pegasus Gold in 1987, and
drilling resulted in a mineral inventory with more than 40,000
ounces Au and 900,000 ounces Ag. Pegasus concentrated all work in
one area and left the broader region unexplored; therefore, several
areas have been identified with the potential to increase the
mineral inventory.
