North Brown Drilling Program Completed

 

VANCOUVER - Allegiant Gold Ltd. reported on the progress of its high-impact discovery drilling campaign. A total of 6 projects located principally in the world-class gold mining jurisdiction of Nevada are slated for drilling over a 10-12 month period. Drilling commenced at the Red Hills project in August 2018 and drilling at a third project, North Brown, was recently completed. Assay results for Hughes Canyon and North Brown are expected soon. Drilling is scheduled to resume at a fourth project early in 2019.

The company completed 2,036 meters of rotary drilling in 11 holes at the North Brown gold project, located on the Battle Mountain Gold Trend in Nevada. Rocks exposed at North Brown are Paleozoic carbonate and clastic rocks, largely of Devonian age intruded by variably altered Tertiary dikes. Surface samples at North Brown ranged from nil to 9 g/t Au. Geochemistry and alteration is characteristic of Carlin-type gold mineralization in Nevada.
