Gold-in-Soil Results Highlight New Targets At Glitra And Sat Properties

SURREY, BC – Sierra Grande Minerals. has received the results for its previous soil geochemistry programs at its Glitra and Sat prospects in Western Nevada. A total of 1,805 soil geochemical samples were collected on the four west-central Nevada properties, Glitra, Sat, Betty East, and B&C Springs, located in the northern part of the Walker Lane trend.  The aim of the recently completed work at each property was to provide complete soil geochemical coverage via wide-spaced sampling (50 to 100 meters between samples along lines separated by 100 to 200 meters). The lines were oriented to cross known mineralized and/or altered trends at high angles, and preliminary analyses for gold pathfinder elements (e.g., As and Sb) along with base metals (e.g., Cu, Pb, Zn) were obtained through use of a portable XRF (pXRF) instrument while field work was underway. Further details regarding the location, access, infrastructure, previous work and geologic characteristics, along with results of due diligence rock geochemical sampling from the three properties.

At Glitra, a promising +1km north-northeast trending mineralized and altered zone with a pronounced epithermal Au-Ag-As-Hg signature, and ranging in width up to 150 to 200 meters, was identified: Consistently high gold-in-soil results along the NNE trend, including values of 1460, 1400, 987 and 718 ppb gold; A total of 467 samples collected, with 58 samples returning values > 100 ppb gold; and An additional 77 claims staked by Sierra along this NNE trend increasing the size of the Glitra property 5 fold.  At Sat, strong soil sampling results also appear to outline a north-northeast trending anomalous zone, or zones, with a pronounced Au-Hg-As-Ag signature that most likely follows structurally-controlled epithermal mineralized and altered zones: Highlighted gold-in-soil values along this trend include values of 905, 529 and 345 ppb gold; A total of 355 samples collected, with 31 samples returning values > 100 ppb gold; and An additional 19 claims were staked along this north-northeast trend, roughly doubling the size of the Sat property.

President and CEO Sonny Janda, said, “The results from our soil sampling programs are very encouraging and demonstrate the potential for exciting new discoveries at Glitra/Sat. Follow up phase two exploration will include geologic mapping, ground IP and airborne magnetic surveys and, ultimately, first pass RC drilling to test the most prospective of these targets. Additionally we look forward to releasing the soil geochemistry results from our other two projects, B&C Springs and Betty East, as they become available.”
