Sultan Minerals Explores for High Grade Gold on its Daylight Property
Vancouver, BC / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / July 14, 2014 / Sultan Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: SUL; "Sultan") is pleased to announce that Jack Denny and Associates of Salmo, BC, have been contracted to conduct a prospecting and sampling program on Sultan's Daylight Gold Property located 10 km south of the town of Nelson in southeastern, British Columbia. The exploration program will follow up and expand the sampling program completed in 2013 when the Company obtained 25.6 g/t gold, 175.2 g/t silver and 0.34% copper across a 1.9 metre wide quartz vein.
The Daylight property overlies four historic, high-grade, gold mines that operated in the early 1900's. The four mines, the Starlight, Victoria-Jessie, Daylight-Berlin and Great Eastern mines operated intermittently until the last operating mine, the Daylight Mine, closed in 1949.
Since acquiring the historic mines Sultan has explored the property with a soil geochemical survey, an Induced Polarization geophysical survey, an airborne magnetometer survey, a LiDar survey and preliminary prospecting and sampling programs. A complete review of the recent survey results and all historic mine information was recently completed by the company's consulting geologist, Perry Grunenberg. The project review suggests the property may be host to a number of vein, stockwork and porphyry style gold and gold-copper occurrences located outside of the historic mine areas. The review successfully identified four gold bearing targets that require exploration. These are the Starlight Shear Zone, the North Star Shear Zone, the Great Eastern Porphyry Gold Zone, and the Silver King Gold Corridor (see News Release of Jan 8, 2014).
The 2014 exploration program will investigate the four target areas and attempt to define targets for follow-up by trenching and diamond drilling.
