First Phase for the Gold and Silver Project on War Eagle
Mountain Scheduled to be Completed by end of April, 2019
Phoenix, Arizona -- January 16, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire --
Discovery Minerals LTD (OTC PINK:DSCR) is an acquisition and
development company that targets natural resource properties
primarily in precious metals and mining operations. The Board
of Discovery Minerals is pleased to announce the formal launch of
its mining program on the gold and silver mining War Eagle Mountain
Property in Idaho. The first phase has already commenced where the
Company has commissioned a series of reports on the Project by
experts in the fields of Geology, Surveying, Mining Engineering and
Mill engineering. These reports are expected to be completed
by the end of April and are necessary to prepare a mining plan and
begin physical preparations for mining.
The War Eagle Mountain Project is the easternmost gold dome on
the Owyhee Gold Trend of the Silver City Mining District in
southern Idaho. This is a 5 mile east-west trending mining
area, which includes War Eagle Mountain, Florida Mountain and
DeLamar Mountain. The primary gold and silver veins on War
Eagle Mountain are the “Oro Fino”, “Central” and the
“Poorman”. The “Oro Fino” vein system extends at least 12,000
feet long and has 6 other major veins associated with it, while the
“Central” and “Poorman” have approximately 40 offshoots associated
with them. Based upon studying the voluminous data on the
mined area, the Company Geologist commented, “There is plenty of
scope for more ore on the main veins and probably scope for an open
pit mine on the North West (“NW”) veins between them. North
trending veins, like Poorman and Oro-Fino/Golden Chariot, are
probably the main controlling faults and are mineralized. They have
generated a NW trending vein set between them that taps the
hydrothermal fluids from below, being generated by a porphyritic
quartz diorite which is responsible for the Tertiary volcanic
sequence.”
The adjacent Florida and DeLamar Mountains were formerly mined
by Kinross Gold Corporation, producing approximately $1.8 billion
in gold and silver production. The Chief Geologist for
Kinross, while in service at the nearby DeLamar Mountain open pit
Operation, observed several years ago, “My experiences at Florida
& DeLamar Mountains dictate that any new exploration ventures
should be focused on the War Eagle Mountain if a large scale
project is the desired goal in this mining district.” These
and other similar opinions expressed by technically qualified
personnel lead the Directors of Discovery Minerals Ltd. to be very
optimistic about entering into an economic gold and silver
production operation in a relatively short time. Specific ore
positions are already targeted to be mined.
Russell Smith, CEO of Discovery Minerals, stated, “This
production focus is the culmination of years of work on a project
that we expect will produce positive results for many years to
come. In the most simple terms, the best place to find a new
gold mine is adjacent to an existing proven mine
resource. War Eagle Mountain lies directly in a massive
mineralized fault line in southern Idaho which has produced
extraordinarily rich results in the adjacent properties.
There has never been large scale mining operations at the War Eagle
Mountain utilizing modern state of the art equipment and mining
techniques. Much of the mining was in the 1860s and 1870s,
when miners had only basic equipment to drive through very tough
rock. Picks and shovels were used plus only hammers and
handsteel were used to bore blast holes. Clearly the rich
gold was a great incentive. We are confident in our ability to
fully develop this tremendous resource from both narrow vein and
open pit mining operations. We look forward to reporting on
the progress of this project as we move forward developing and
implementing our mining plan.”
