Millrock Announces Purchase of Chisna Copper-Gold Project, Alaska
VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - April 07, 2016) - Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: MRO) ("Millrock") announces that the company has purchased mining claims comprising the Chisna project in Alaska. A 100% interest in the project was purchased by Millrock from Corvus Gold Inc. ("Corvus" or the "Company") -- (TSX: KOR) (OTCQX: CORVF) for US$25,000. Corvus will retain a 1% Net Smelter Returns royalty on the claims. Along with the mineral rights, Millrock purchased an exclusive copy of a proprietary exploration database covering the claims and the surrounding district. The data represents an estimated US$11 million worth of exploration work. The claims hold indications of copper-gold porphyry deposits. There are numerous untested targets represented within the proprietary database. Other possible target types in the district include gold-only vein and intrusion-hosted deposits, as well as nickel-platinum group element deposits.
Millrock President & CEO Gregory Beischer stated: "We are pleased to add this project to our portfolio and look forward to utilizing the information that we've purchased. Since Corvus has now focused their efforts on their discovery in Nevada, a great opportunity was created for Millrock in Alaska."
The easternmost portion of the Chisna project is accessed by a series of trails leading from the paved Tok Cutoff highway. The trailhead is four kilometers west of the village of Slana. Fairbanks Alaska lies 420 km by road to the northwest.
