Start Of Diamond Drill Program At Palmetto Gold Project


VANCOUVER - Smooth Rock Ventures Corp. reported that the diamond drill program at the Palmetto Gold project has begun. The drill program originally scheduled to begin mid January 2021, was delayed due to COVID-19 related issues and restrictions. Smooth Rock owns a 100% undivided interest in the Palmetto Project (not subject to any outstanding royalties), consisting of 116 unpatented mining claims totaling 2217 acres located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, within the southern portion of the Walker Lane gold trend, easily accessible on a year-round basis. This initial 2021 diamond drill program is designed to expand the current resource by drilling the mineralized zones laterally and at depth, to extend the present known mineralization. Drilling will target the high-grade feeder chutes and explore other areas of the project outside of the inferred resource area.
