Alianza Minerals Ltd. reported the results of fieldwork at the Horsethief sediment-hosted gold project, one of three properties in eastern Nevada where Alianza is actively exploring. Mapping, prospecting and sampling at Horsethief identified multiple areas of favourable alteration, structure and stratigraphy. This program also confirmed the presence of anomalous gold and pathfinder element geochemistry in both jasperoid and carbonate rocks with 10 of 68 samples returning more than 0.10 gram/tonne ("g/t") gold with a high of 1.22 g/t gold. These results, in combination with historic structural and stratigraphic data, will be used in prioritizing drill targets for the next phase of exploration. The 2016 program focussed on gaining an understanding of the property stratigraphy and potential structural controls for mineralization. It was successful in identifying multiple new occurrences of jasperoid alteration in limestone and dolostone rocks considered to be Upper Cambrian age Dunderburg Formation. Sampling of both the jasperoids and carbonate rocks returned gold values ranging from below detection to 1.22 g/t gold and 11 of 68 rock samples collected returned gold values more than 0.10 g/t gold. A further 10 samples were considered anomalous in gold. Two primary target areas have emerged, both characterized by jasperoid alteration, anomalous gold and pathfinder element (silver ("Ag"), arsenic ("As"), mercury ("Hg"), molybdenum ("Mo"), antimony ("Sb")) geochemistry and complex structural setting. The North Horsethief target is dominated by a 900 by 150 metre jasperoid breccia occurrence at the contact of the Cambrian carbonate stratigraphy with Tertiary age volcanic tuffs that surround the property. Strongly anomalous gold geochemistry and coincident pathfinder element geochemistry in rocks and soils are associated with north-south, northeast and east-west oriented faulting. Immediately east of the main jasperoid body, vuggy fluorite and barite were noted in a smaller outcrop of jasperoid located on an east-west fault.
