London, Ontario / TheNewswire / July 27, 2016 - Peloton Minerals Corp. ("Peloton" or the "Company") (CSE Symbol: PMC) reports that it has completed an airborne Hyperspectral Imaging Survey over the entire Golden Trial Project located in Elko County, Nevada. Data collection was conducted last week by fixed wing aircraft and is now being processed and analyzed with a report expected mid-August, 2016.
The Company previously used hyperspectral imaging technology on 44 five-foot rock-chip line samples taken at Golden Trail which discovered a distinctive alteration mineral assemblage associated with higher gold values. The recently conducted airborne hyperspectral imaging survey is intended to expand on the rock-chip line sample imaging results by imaging the entire property with this technology. Hyperspectral imaging will also be applied on all future drill holes in addition to traditional core logging and assaying. This approach is intended to aid in providing geologic control, enhance efficiency, and better enable three dimensional understanding.
Edward Ellwood, President of PMC comments, "Hyperspectral imaging is one of the technologies NASA uses to identify rock types on Mars. Hyperspectral imaging is a state of the art method of accurately identifying rock types, minerals or even mineral species. Every mineral type has a unique spectral signature in sunlight. What is happening here is that the trained geologist's human eye is being enhanced by this technology and our ability to track down mineralized beds or deposits is considerably enhanced."
A summary of results from the previous hyperspectral imaging of the 44 five-foot rock-chip line samples, as well as other data, was provided in a report published on the Golden Trail at the Geologic Society of Nevada's 2015 Symposium titled "Gold Mineralization at the Golden Trail Project, Northeastern Elko County, Nevada, R. Capps, P. Noble and C. Jorgensen" That report and an NI 43-101 report is available on the Company's website at www.pelotonminerals.com.
The Company is preparing for a core drilling program that will commence on Golden Trail after receipt of the airborne report and mobilization will be announced when underway. The Company is permitted for core drilling from 11 drill stations along the main Golden Trail Vein which has been traced for 1,200 meters at surface and has an associated alteration package about 30 meters wide. Continuous 5 foot trench samples across this area returned 13.7 grams gold with 36.2 grams silver in one 5 foot trench, and 3.49 grams gold with 105 grams silver in a second 5 foot trench.
Richard C. Capps, PhD, is the qualified person responsible for approving the technical information contained within this release.
