High Priority Drill Targets At The Powerline Project

EDMONTON – Cortus Metals Inc. reported on the combined results of recently completed, property-wide (>1,800 hectares) geochemical and gravimetric surveys at the Powerline project in Pershing County, Nevada. Soil samples were collected systematically at 120 m spacing with 300 m line spacing over the entirety of the project. Ionic leach processing, a highly effective method for detecting geochemical elements in soils over alluvial cover, was used to analyze 61 elements in 505 soil samples, indicating anomalous gold zones and key gold pathfinder elements, including antimony, arsenic, silver and mercury. Rock chip samples yielded up to 84 ppb gold and 6490 ppb silver. The gravity data indicate shallow alluvial cover over bedrock along the property’s western boundary, and identify achievable drill target locations.

CEO, Sean Mager, said, “The new geochemical data and gravity results, in addition to the previous mapping and ground magnetic survey, have generated several well-defined drill targets at Powerline and brought the project to the drill-ready stage. As several of our new projects in the basins of Nevada emerge with high-priority drill targets, we look forward to testing them over the next six months with significant drill programs of 2,000-4,000 meters.”
