Stevens Gold Data Compilation Results Define Drill Targets at Millennium Gold Project
VANCOUVER, B.C. February 19, 2021 - STEVENS GOLD NEVADA INC. (CSE:SG, OTCQB:STVGF, FSE:311) (the “Company” or “Stevens Gold”) is pleased to announce results from the data mining of historic geophysical and soil geochemical surveys on the optioned Millennium Gold Property (the “Property”). The Property is located 4.8 km northeast of Lake Havasu City in Mojave County, western Arizona and hosts underexplored low sulphidation volcanic-hosted epithermal gold mineralization with geological similarities in style of mineralization and alteration to other nearby epithermal gold deposits including the Castle Mountain Mine and the Moss Mine.
The Company has submitted its application for a drill permit to the Arizona State Lands Department and is currently awaiting their review and approval.
Integrated Historic Survey Results: Soil Geochemical and Ground Geophysical Surveys
As part of its ongoing exploration program at the Millennium Gold property the Company has been extracting useful information to aid exploration by mining historic geoscientific databases. A 2007 program of virtual grid-based soil geochemical surveys based on Mobile Metal Ion Technology (“MMI”) was undertaken on the Millennium Gold Property and successfully delineated multiple strongly elevated gold responses. A total of 523 samples were collected. Multi-sample, arcuate, ovoid and linear anomalies from widely spaced 400-foot stations varied from 20 to 221 times background and defined broad areas of anomalous response on the property. The wide sample spacing was utilized to assess the property for geochemical signatures originating from structurally related bulk mineable gold mineralization.
Historic ground magnetic surveys were undertaken on the property in 2008 by Zonge Engineering and I.P. geophysical surveys in 2011 by Durango Geophysical Operations. Multiple magnetic “lows” were defined by the magnetic survey and were interpreted as signatures of magnetic destructive alteration. Several of these magnetic lows were accompanied by high resistivity responses and occurred in areas of known gold mineralization that assayed up to 6 g/t gold as well as at Westley Hill where the Company will undertake its maiden drill program to confirm historic gold mineralization intersected in 2008 (c.f. Stevens Gold news release 2021.02.11).
Although ground geophysical and soil geochemical surveys were undertaken on the property at significantly different times there is marked coincidence between magnetic lows, high resistivity responses and multi-sample gold MMI anomalies in soils. These historic results are value-added information and will assist more focused exploration on the property using modern exploration techniques and drilling.
The proprietary MMI soil geochemical technique is based on the partial extraction of soil samples systematically collected from a specific depth below surface. The method has been utilized on a wide range of commodity types from precious and base metals to diamonds worldwide. The MMI Process utilizes proprietary partial extraction techniques, specific combinations of ligands to keep metals in solution, and relies on strict adherence to sampling protocols. The MMI process does not indicate the grade of mineralization responsible for an MMI anomaly nor does it indicate the depth of the source region for the anomaly. Accordingly, pairing the MMI results with geophysical surveys provides an effective tool for defining drill targets in terrain where prospective targets are buried by overburden.
The Company is not aware of any legal, political, environmental, or other risks that could materially affect the potential development of the project.
