Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation announced it has received the results of an initial geochemical rock sampling program and a reconnaissance geophysical survey at the historic Lovelock Cobalt Mine, located in Churchill and Pershing Counties, approximately 100 miles (150 kilometres) east of Reno, Nevada. Nevada Sunrise has an option to earn a 100% interest in the Lovelock Mine. Nevada Sunrise carried out two site visits to the Lovelock Mine in November and December 2017 and collected representative grab rock samples of historical mine waste, and various bedrock samples at the Lovelock Mine and in the areas of other nearby historical adits. The analytical results of several of the rock samples show strong enrichment in cobalt, nickel and copper, and other metals. In December 2017, an initial 4.2 kilometre (2.6 miles) reconnaissance DC resistivity/induced polarization survey by SJ Geophysics of Delta, BC, consisting of stations spaced 25 to 50 metres (80-160 feet) apart on five lines was completed across the Lovelock Mine area. This DC-IP survey is projected to have a depth of investigation deeper than the mining to the 100-foot level reported in the 1880s. The results of the survey not only detected the historic, near-surface mine workings and interpreted alteration (red areas on figure), but also show chargeability features (green areas on figure) related to structure and possible mineralization to a depth from surface of approximately 200 metres (656 feet). Nevada Sunrise intends to apply to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management for an exploration permit within the next 30 days, and plans a first-pass drilling program in the spring of 2018 on the targets defined to date.
