Drill Results From The Black Pine Oxide Gold Project

VANCOUVER, BC - Liberty Gold Corp. has completed an initial round of drilling at the Black Pine Project, one of its three principle gold projects located in the prolific Great Basin of the United States. Black Pine, located in southeastern Idaho, is a past-producing heap leach oxide gold mine that contains a large, shallow, district-scale, Carlin-style gold system, similar in nature and scale to Liberty Gold’s Goldstrike Project.

In late 2017, twelve reverse circulation (RC) holes were drilled from five locations within a large, 12 square kilometer target area. The drilling has thus far succeeded in validating historical results  adjacent to a historical pit and more importantly, demonstrated exceptional exploration upside beneath the limit of shallow historical drilling.

Phase 2 drilling is planned to commence mid-June in order to investigate the scope of multiple targets. An updated Plan of Operations is pending that will open up access to the entire 12 square kilometer area of anomalous surface geochemistry and historic gold in drill holes for comprehensive drill testing.  The presence of a large number of holes that bottomed in mineralization, as well as a number of areas of mineralization in the historic database that are open to depth, suggests that deeper angle drilling is appropriate in the future.
