Drilling Commences on Ecru Project In Lander County

RENO, NV - Renaissance Gold Inc. reported commencement of diamond drilling on its Ecru Project, Lander County, Nevada. The Ecru Project is located to the north of Barrick’s giant Cortez gold mining operations. The project is subject to an earn-in agreement with S2 Resources.

Robert Felder, President and CEO said, “We are very excited to begin drilling on this project, within sight of several world class Carlin-type gold deposits and possessing all of the features necessary for the discovery of another giant gold deposit. We’re also especially pleased to have a strong partner who recognized the potential of this target area and have the financial strength and vision to carry out a meaningful exploration program beginning with detailed geophysics and now with 2 to 3 deep core holes as an initial stratigraphic test of the target area” 

The Ecru Project lies in the prolific Cortez area of the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend of gold deposits. The project area lies on the northwestward projection of the Cortez Fault, an important structural control on mineralization in the district, and where this structure intersects a regionally recognized northeast lineament (CVIL). Detailed gravity, audiomagnetotellurics (AMT) and surface geochemical surveys have been conducted over the project area and provide favorable indications for the potential for Carlin-type gold mineralization at depth.
