Surface Sampling Program Completed At The Klondike Project In Colorado


VANCOUVER - Alianza Minerals Ltd. and Cloudbreak Discovery PLC reported the results from a surface sampling program at the Klondike Property, the first project acquired under the newly formed Strategic Alliance. The Klondike Property, located in Colorado, consists of 76 unpatented mining claims, a State of Colorado Exploration Permit and an exclusive right to a State lease.

A reconnaissance program consisting of mapping, stream sediment sampling and rock sampling was undertaken at Klondike to help define drill targets at the West Graben Fault and East Graben Fault targets. Rock sampling and mapping successfully expanded the footprint of both targets and identified a new target named the Northeast Fault. Sampling at the Northeast Fault returned 1.56% copper and 1.4 grams per tonne (g/t) silver over a 4.6 meter chip sample of bleached, bitumen spotted and altered Jurassic sandstones of the Saltwash member of the Morrison Formation.

Copper mineralized sandstones at the Northeast Fault target can be traced along the fault and outboard from it into the adjacent sandstones over an area 200 meters long by 100 meters wide before becoming obscured beneath gravel cover. Further anomalous copper, including 2.1 meters of 463 ppm copper, was encountered over one kilometer to the northwest where the structure and host strata next appear from beneath the same gravel cover.

Jason Weber, President and CEO of Alianza Minerals, said, “We are extremely excited by the delineation of the new Northeast Fault Target at Klondike. The size of the target, strength of the copper mineralization and enticing possibility that it persists under gravel cover make it an important, high priority drill target at Klondike.”
