Rimrock Gold Corp. Defines Drilling Program for Its Ivanhoe Creek
Gold-Silver Property in Nevada
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - May 7, 2014) - Rimrock Gold Corp.
(OTCQB: RMRK) (the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it is in
discussions with a third party to acquire and transfer to its name
an existing Notice of Intent to conduct exploration ("NOI") and
reclamation bond on Rimrock Gold's Ivanhoe Creek, Nevada,
epithermal bonanza gold-silver property. This NOI and bond will
enable Rimrock to conduct a new exploration drilling program within
an estimate lead time of 1 to 2 months. Rimrock Gold's VP of
Exploration, Richard Redfern, recently visited the
property. Upon analysis, Mr. Redfern believes that the past
exploration holes drilled at Ivanhoe Creek were too shallow to
adequately test for the Midas-style gold-silver targets envisioned
by Rimrock Gold. The drillholes at Ivanhoe Creek returned anomalous
assay values of gold in each hole drilled, and anomalous silver
values in each hole.
The Ivanhoe Creek property lies immediately adjacent to the
north of Waterton Global Mining's epithermal bonanza gold-silver
Hollister Mine property. Hollister had a Proven and Probable
resource of approximately 819,000 tonnes @ 35.3 g/t gold and 195
g/t silver. Ivanhoe Creek also lies 17 Km southeast of Klondex
Mines' operating Midas Mine, which has produced approximately 4.0
million ounces of gold and more than 25,000,000 ounces of
silver.
A significant gold-silver target was defined at Ivanhoe Creek by
3 past shallow drillholes in the "Silica Cap" target area, which
will be tested by further drilling by Rimrock Gold. One of the past
drillholes discovered gold (tungsten) mineralization at a shallow
depth in basement quartzite rocks, the main host at Waterton's
Hollister Mine just to the south. Gold and silver are associated
with tungsten both in the Hollister Mine and in Teck and Placer
Dome's high-grade drillholes at Rimrock Gold's Silver Cloud Mine
property, which adjoins the south boundary of the Hollister Mine.
The gold-silver at Ivanhoe Creek is associated with
northerly-trending uplifted fault-bounded blocks into which gold
mineralization was emplaced. Mercury-bearing silica deposits are
present at the surface at Ivanhoe Creek, and could be present at
depth like at Hollister. Rimrock Gold plans to drill at least one
hole into the Silica Cap Target in 2014. The main gold zones at
Hollister are present at elevations of 4900-5400 feet MSL and
Rimrock plans on targeting the same elevation interval. The highest
grade past shallow angled drillhole IC-07-10 at Silica Cap returned
a high-grade assay value of 7.64 ounces per ton silver and 0.02 ppm
gold in hole 07-10 between 426-436 feet (core length; true width
not known). This latter silver-rich intercept also contained high
values of 1130 ppm tungsten and more than 100 ppm mercury.
"We are very excited to now begin gold exploration on the
Ivanhoe Creek property expanding our presence in the strategic
high-grade Hollister mining area. We believe this will be a core
area of focus by mining companies in Nevada for the foreseeable
future. Our plan is to further analyze the Ivanhoe Creek data, and
to commence a new drilling program in 2014 after final
interpretations have been made," stated President and CEO, Jordan
Starkman.
