Additional Potentially Significant Gold Targets

VANCOUVER - Providence Gold Mines reported that geologists have identified a potentially significant low bulk tonnage gold target. The Providence Gold Mines properties with numerous high grade historical deposits are located near the historical gold town of Sonora, California. Preliminary evidence suggests that all lode structures crossing the favorable corridor of fracture dilatancy (the Tuolumne Mines Trend) at all elevations constitute significant exploration gold targets. Our field geological reconnaissance, alteration mapping, soil geochemistry, and subsequent trenching on the extremely steep terrain has been successful in locating lode targets. The zone was sampled for assay and mapped to further define new surface exploration drill targets.

The Providence Gold Mines property is located along the East Belt of gold mines of the Mother Lode system near the city of Sonora, California. The Mother Lode East Belt mines are spatially arranged along the 160 km length of the regional-scale Calaveras-Shoo Fly Thrust Fault and they have accounted for approximately four million ounces of historic gold production.
