Reveille Property To Test The Jasperoid Breccia-Pipe Gold Target


VANCOUVER - VR Resources Ltd. reported that the drill is back on site and turning at its Reveille property in Nevada. VR was able to secure a track-mounted diamond drill rig on route to a nearby project in order to complete a core hole on the jasperoid breccia-pipe gold target at Reveille named G1. As shown in the field photograph from yesterday, the drill hole is located on a ridge of structurally-controlled, gold-bearing jasperoid breccia related to a rhyolite intrusion which has replaced the host limestone stratigraphy along a fold hinge fault zone, with high-grade silver and copper in breccia zones to the northeast of G1 along the same structure.

The Company completed four RC (reverse circulation) holes in February for a total of f 4,347 feet by a truck-mounted TH75 rig, each hole between 1,000 and 1,200 ft long, and each hole on a different target based on integrated data from structural mapping and rock geochemistry, and gravity, EM and magnetic geophysical surveys. The G1 gravity target was not tested because the drill road and pad were not amenable to the truck mounted RC rig.

While drilling the first four RC holes in February, the Company received the geochemical data from a soil sample grid covering the entire western flank of the range and the western third of the property. The data set is robust, consisting of 287 samples on a 50 - 150 m spacing. The strongest gold anomaly on the entire Reveille property occurs at G1, in association with the ridge spur of jasperoid breccia, and strongly correlated with arsenic-antimony-mercury and barium.

The G1 drill hole itself is collared specifically on a high contrast and sharply defined gravity low anomaly and coincident multi-element soil anomaly in gold-arsenic-antimony-mercury-barium associated with extensive outcrops of jasperoid breccia on the ridge. The G1 drill hole will test if the gravity anomaly is a decalcified, and therefore low density, gold-bearing jasperoid breccia-pipe developed in the host limestone. The contours of the gravity indicate a sub-vertical, pipe-like geometry for the body, with a strong structural control.
