Deep Drilling Program At The Iron Point Targeting Lower Plate Gold Mineralization


VANCOUVER - Nevada King Gold Corp. reported the commencement of a 23 hole, 6,400m drill program at the Iron Point Gold Project in Humboldt County, Nevada. Located at the juncture between the prolific Getchell and Battle Mountain gold trends, Iron Point is one of the last remaining district-scale Carlin-type gold exploration targets in Nevada.

Lewis Teal, Independent Technical Advisor, said, "Occurring strategically at the regional intersection of Nevada's Battle Mountain – Cortez and Getchell gold belts, the Iron Point project represents a significant district-scale opportunity for discovery of a Carlin-type gold deposit, in under-explored terrain, hosted in Lower Plate carbonate rocks beneath the Roberts Mountains Thrust. The setting at Iron Point is enhanced by the wide-spread occurrences of historical near-surface, lower-grade gold drill intercepts which are hosted in the overlying Upper Plate siliciclastic assemblage above the Roberts Mountains Thrust, as documented and modeled by Nevada King's project exploration team."
