Vancouver, BC TheNewswire - June 22, 2022 - Alianza Minerals Ltd. ("Alianza") (TSXV:ANZ ) ( OTC:TARSF) and Cloudbreak Discovery Plc ("Cloudbreak") (LSE:CDL) (the " Alliance ") are pleased to announce t hat the required permits to begin the 2022 drilling program on behalf of partner Allied Copper Corp. ("Allied") (TSX-V: CPR) have now been received. The drill program is expected to begin in mid July, 2022.  The Klondike Property consists of 76 unpatented mining claims, a State of Colorado Exploration Permit and an exclusive right to a State lease.

 

  "We are very excited to commence the 2022 program at Klondike," stated Rob Duncan, M.Sc., Vice President, Exploration for Alianza Minerals. "Our previous mapping and sampling work, and recently completed magnetics survey together have identified compelling targets for drill testing. We are looking forward to working with Allied to advance Klondike."  

 

Alianza is finalizing a bond placement of approximately US$29,000 to enable the program to commence on or about July 15. Allied, under the terms of its option agreement with Alianza and Cloudbreak is funding the program as part of the earn-in agreement. Alianza is the project operator. Planning and logistics for the program are well underway and the final drill plan will be announced prior to the program startup.

 

  About the Klondike Property  

 

The Klondike Property is located approximately 25 kilometres south of Naturita, Colorado. This property lies within the Paradox Copper Belt, which includes the producing Lisbon Valley Mining Complex. Numerous historical copper occurrences have been identified throughout the district, however, many of these have not been explored using modern exploration techniques.

 

A 2021 reconnaissance program consisting of mapping, stream sediment sampling and rock sampling was undertaken at the Klondike Property to help define drill targets at the West Graben Fault and East Graben Fault targets. Rock sampling and mapping successfully expanded the footprint of both targets and identified a new target named the Northeast Fault. Sampling at the Northeast Fault returned 1.56% copper and 1.4 grams per tonne ("g/t") silver over a 4.6 metre chip sample of bleached, bitumen spotted and altered Jurassic sandstones of the Saltwash member of the Morrison Formation.  

 

Copper mineralized sandstones at the Northeast Fault target can be traced along the fault and outboard from it into the adjacent sandstones over an area 200 metres long by 100 metres wide before becoming obscured beneath gravel cover. Further anomalous copper, including 2.1 metres of 463 ppm copper, was encountered over one kilometre to the northwest where the structure and host strata next appear from beneath the same gravel cover.

 

At Klondike, documented copper exploration ceased in the 1960s with subsequent exploration targeting uranium the 1970s. Previous workers reported high-grade copper mineralization highlighted by results of 6.3% copper and 23.3 g/t silver in outcrop. In addition to its high-grade potential, disseminated copper-silver mineralization has been observed which may be amenable to modern open pit mining with Solvent Extraction Electrowinning ("SXEW") processing similar to the Lisbon Valley Mining Complex. Sedimentary hosted copper deposits are an important contributor to world copper production, accounting for more than 20% of the world's copper supply annually.

 

The project is road accessible year-round, traveling two kilometres of gravel road from paved highway. The project is comprised of 76 mining claims on Federal mineral rights managed by the BLM, in addition to an Exploration Permit and an exclusive right to a State lease from the State of Colorado.

Mali Court Upholds Detention of Barrick Employees

A Malian court has upheld the detention of four employees of Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX,NYSE:B), rejecting an appeal filed by the Canadian mining company as its dispute with the military-led government deepens.

According to a Bloomberg report, Judge Samba Sarr ruled on Tuesday (July 22) that the appeal was unfounded, according to Barrick’s legal counsel, Alifa Habib Koné.

The employees have been held in pre-trial detention since November 2023 on charges including money laundering and financial misconduct, allegations the company has dismissed as without merit.

Hidden Gem: How Intrusion-related Gold Deposits Could Fuel Next-generation Discoveries

With the gold price continuing to hover near all-time highs and major producers scouring the globe for new large-scale deposits, one type of gold system is emerging as a potential game changer.

Intrusion-related gold systems (IRGS) have already yielded multimillion-ounce mines, like Kinross Gold's (TSX:K,NYSE:KGC) Fort Knox in Alaska, and sparked billion-dollar acquisition bids, such as Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST) offer for De Grey Mining in Australia. Even so, these deposits remains largely under the radar for most investors, and their full investment potential is only beginning to be understood.

Traditional high-grade vein systems often require deep, high-cost underground mining. IRGS deposits, however, form broad, consistent zones of mineralization that lend themselves to large-scale, open-pit development. These geological systems are particularly attractive in today’s market as they offer scale, longevity and a clear path to resource growth, which are critical at a time when new gold discoveries are becoming increasingly rare.
