Makara Mining Corp. Intersects 16.8m of 0.37 g/t Au and 10 g/t Ag

29.03.2021  |  Accesswire
Including 1.5m of 1.77 g/t Au and 40 g/t Ag at Rude Creek, Yukon; First Phase Drill Program on Nevada Project Expected to Start Within Four Weeks

VANCOUVER, March 29, 2021 - Makara Mining Corp. (CSE:MAKA) (FSE:MK0) (OTC:MAKAF) ("Makara" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an exploration update on its Rude Creek gold project in Yukon, Canada ("Rude Creek") and its other Canadian and U.S. projects.

Highlights:

  • The complete assay results from the 2,000-meter RC (reverse circulation) drill program at Rude Creek have now been received and tabulated
  • Overall, drill results have identified the presence of a new gold system, with controls on mineralization which appear to be north-south oriented and steeply dipping to the east
  • Further drilling aimed at finding the postulated higher-grade and thicker centre of the system is clearly warranted, along with an expanded soil geochemistry program over this large property
  • Best new intercepts include:
    • 16.8 m of 0.37 g/t Au, 9.7 g/t Ag (incl. 4.6 m of 0.84 g/t Au, 24.5 g/t Ag and incl. 1.5 m of 1.77 g/t Au, 40.1 g/t Ag) in ROYRC20-21
    • 4.6 m of 0.30 g/t Au, 4.5 g/t Ag (incl. 1.5m of 0.46 g/t Au, 1.2 g/t Ag) in ROYRC20-20
    • 4.6 m of 0.23 g/t Au and 7.8 g/t Ag (incl. 1.5 m of 0.58 g/t Au and 11.7 g/t Ag); and 6.1 m of 0.25 g/t Au, 3.4 g/t Ag (incl. 1.5 m of 0.87 g/t Au, 3.3 g/t Ag); and 3.1 m of 0.37 g/t Au, 1.6 g/t Ag (incl. 1.5 m of 0.51 g/t Au, 1.2 g/t Ag) in ROYRC20-15
    • True widths for all 2020 drilling are currently unknown
  • Above intercepts are in addition to those released on February 10, 2021, which included:
    • 80.8 m of 0.17 g/t Au and 3.3 g/t Ag (incl. 13.7 m of 0.59 g/t Au and 14.1 g/t Ag, incl. 1.5 m of 3.15 g/t Au and 76.4 g/t Ag) in ROYRC20-18
    • 4.6 m of 0.74 g/t Au (incl. 1.5 m of 2.13 g/t Au) in ROYRC20-14
    • 3.1 m of 0.35 g/t Au (incl. 1.5m of 0.59 g/t Au) in ROYRC20-13
  • Gold mineralization was intersected over an area of 200 m by 250 m, within a portion of the "Northeast" soil anomaly, currently known to measure at least 1,000 m by 1,600 m

"This is the first systematic drill campaign ever completed at Rude Creek. Makara is encouraged that this preliminary drilling has provided a robust 'proof of concept' and that a gold system is indeed present on the property," stated Grant Hendrickson, CEO. "We look forward to providing a more detailed analysis of the 2020 work in due course, along with plans for the 2021 field season."

Bart Jaworski, co-founder and director of 0890763 B.C. Ltd. (vendor) stated: "After more than ten years working on what was until recently a purely grassroots prospect, it is great to see an exciting gold system starting to emerge from the latest round of drilling. We thank Makara for their strong contribution to the project over the last year and look forward to the upcoming field season."

Rude Creek Drill Program, Yukon (Canada)

The Rude Creek project is well located in the Dawson Range of the Yukon, 15 km east of the Casino Cu-Au porphyry deposit (Western Copper) and immediately west of the Mount Cockfield porphyry copper gold prospect. Newmont's Coffee Creek gold deposit is 50 km to the WNW. The 2020 drilling program was undertaken to evaluate one of the better gold-in-soil anomalies (the "Northeast Anomaly") at Rude Creek and to expand upon the encouraging results from hole ROYRC19-09 (9.2 m of 1.42 g/t Au and 20 g/t Ag) drilled in 2019. The Northeast Anomaly occurs within an excellent structural setting.

Shallow RC drilling in 2020 was conducted from five separate drill pad locations (see Exhibit 1). Pad 1 is the northern most pad, the other pads are in sequence approximately 50-75 metres south of the previous pad. Pad 5 is approximately 250 metres south of Pad 1. Several holes at various azimuths and inclinations were drilled from each pad (to test for conjugate vein orientations; see Exhibit 1 and 4). Seventeen holes (12 to 28) were drilled on the Target in 2020 and three holes (9 to 11) were drilled at the Northeast Anomaly in 2019.

Note: For further details on 'Previous Results', please refer to the Company's news release dated February 10, 2021.

The RC drilling technique collects a 1.52-metre down hole rock chip sample, resulting in a spatial resolution of 1.52 metres per assay sample. Note that all of the 2019/2020 RC drill holes have been completely sampled, in increments of 1.52 metres. The gold content of the assay results was determined by fire assay. This news release comments only on the gold content of sample intervals above 0.1 g/t with a minimum width of 1.52 metre.

The detailed multi-element assaying of all the Rude Creek RC rock chips indicates that the gold mineralization at the Northeast Anomaly is hosted within several polymetallic vein occurrences. Geochemically anomalous amounts of silver, lead, copper, arsenic, bismuth and tungsten tend to accompany gold mineralization. Some of the stronger gold intervals occur with elevated silver grades (up to 76 g/t Ag) of economic interest, thus gold-equivalent grades are being routinely calculated. More work on all the important metal associations is ongoing.

The Company will be able to provide more complete mapping, modelling and detailed conclusions on the assay information, geology, mineralogy, structural controls on mineralization and deposit types in approximately two to three months once hyperspectral imaging, detailed drill hole geology, structural reports and other imaging data sets are integrated in the interpretation.

The information to date, however, suggests the main structural control of gold mineralization appears to be predominantly north-south oriented with a steep dip to the east. The Company's latest drill hole assay results are shown in Exhibit 2.

Field Program Plans for 2021 at Rude Creek

Makara's contiguous Idaho project and Win project, to the north and south of the Rude Creek project, respectively, will also receive significant exploration programs during the summer of 2021, in conjunction with the Company's extensive plans for Rude Creek. Fieldwork plans are expected to be released in two to three months. In addition, the Company plans to further evaluate its recently staked Placer rights to the upper levels of Rude Creek this summer. The shallow Rude Creek gold and silver mineralization, described in detail above, strikes across the upper levels of Rude Creek.

Nevada Gold Project, Davis Mine and Paradise Valley

Makara is pleased to announce that the first phase drilling program (5000 ft, 1500 m) on the Nevada Gold project, eight miles SE of Gabbs, is planned to be underway by April 15, 2021, weather permitting. The property is located within the central part of the Walker Lane geological trend, a structural zone of NW trending strike slip faults along the western margin of the Great Basin. The drill rig is now stored nearby while the process of securing all the required drill and environmental permits from the state of Nevada nears completion. Makara's Nevada project is a joint venture with Almadex Minerals Ltd., which has significant experience with Nevada gold and silver exploration. The initial drilling will concentrate on the Davis Mine area where reported historic drilling (cannot be verified) by a previous operator (36 years ago) returned significant low sulphidation epithermal intercepts. One of these intercepts was reported to have returned 40 ft (12.2 m) of 0.118 oz/t gold (6.2 g/t gold) and 0.62 oz/t silver (21 g/t silver), although it cannot be verified. The strike and dip of the Davis vein system along with the true widths will be verified and expanded on through this first phase drill program. In addition, other higher sulphidation shallow epithermal targets (to the south of Davis) on the contiguous Paradise Valley claims will be drilled in this initial drill program. These targets were determined by induced polarization and resistivity surveys in conjunction with the high-resolution spectra imaging results received from the recent World View Two satellite system survey over Paradise valley and the Davis mine area.

The first phase drilling program is expected to provide the information required for an expanded drill program later in the year.

Kenora Gold Project

Makara has started to receive reports on the field surface program conducted last fall at its Kenora Gold Project, located in Ontario. The airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey was received this past week and the Company looks forward to receiving the updated 43-101 report shortly. The updated report will include sections on relogging and assaying of old drill core, new mapping and prospecting results from the eastern claims and the southern portion of the claims, extensive rock Geochem analysis of the different lithologies, recent ground magnetics and VLF-EM surveys. Once this information is received and evaluated, the Company will reconsider the decision made last fall to delay the drilling program.
