The Crown Deposits:
Finding More Gold With The Drill Bit Right Now
Most junior gold companies would love to have one gold deposit in Nevada. Northern Empire already has three on the north end of its Sterling project alone.
Jump up to the north side of the Sterling project and you’ll find the Daisy, Secret Pass and SNA deposits. It is here that Northern Empire is aggressively drilling and hitting strong results.
At Daisy, they’ve hit:
• 123.94 meters of 1.41 g/t gold...
• 108.20 meters of 0.80 g/t gold...
• 47.24 meters of 1.47 g/t gold...
And more — all near-surface and heap-leachable.
At Secret Pass, they’ve gotten:
• 82.30 meters at 1.25 g/t gold…
• 70.07 meters at 1.79 g/t gold...
• 56.4 meters at 3.13 g/t gold...
Again, these are near-surface, oxide zones — perfect for Nevada.
Before this year’s drilling began to expand the resources, the three deposits already boasted NI 43-101 inferred resources of 693,000 oz gold grading 1.09 g/t.
Daisy and Secret Pass were previously in heap-leach production, until 2001 when gold plunged below $300/oz, and have not been explored since that time. The company knows this mineralization can be recovered using low-cost heap leaching.
And the environment is certainly conducive for finding more gold. The mineralization in these three deposits lies along eight kilometers of east-west trending fault structures, all controlled by Northern Empire.
Interestingly, this same “detachment” fault hosts Barrick Gold’s Bullfrog Mine, which produced 2.3 million ounces of gold just five kilometers to the west. The potential here is very, very high, and demands significantly more drilling.
That drilling is planned throughout 2018.
And get this: One of the big success stories in recent months has been the great drill results that Corvus Gold is getting from its Mother Lode project.
But Northern Empire’s Crown deposits completely surround Corvus Gold’s Mother Lode project.
Moreover, recent drilling has confirmed that the Mother Lode mineralization extends onto Northern Empire’s own property. With new drill results being released on a regular basis, this is a very exciting time for Northern Empire and its shareholders.
