Searchlight Resources Exploration for Gold in Saskatchewan
Planned exploration expenditures include Searchlight’s two high grade gold projects in Saskatchewan Canada.
1) The Company’s flagship project is the Bootleg Lake Gold project hosting 3 past producing gold mines, located 5 kilometres from Flin Flon, a major mining district on the Saskatchewan Manitoba border in Canada.
The present focus is on reopening of the underground working of the Rio Gold mine which was closed in 1990. Vista Gold which then operated the project estimated a reserve of approximately 184,000 tons at 0.35 oz/ton gold for an estimated total of 64,350 ounces of gold. This estimate was to a shallow depth and the Searchlight’s exploration plans are to increase this resource along strike and to depth. See below for table of Bootleg Lake Gold deposits.
The Company plans on reopening the underground workings for exploration and the development of a full resource for future mining. Re-establishing the entrance portal is part of the current planned expenditures with private placement funds.
2) In Early 2019, Searchlight acquired the high-grade English Bay gold target on highway 102, 10 km north of La Ronge, Saskatchewan. A total of 37 drill holes were completed by previous owner with over half intersecting gold mineralization. The best intersections being 2.10 oz/t gold over 4 ft (65.63 g/t Au over 1.2m) and 1.08 oz/t gold over 8.5 ft (33.75 g/t Au over 2.6m). Plans are to relog and assay existing drill core and carry out UAV geophysics, in preparation for drilling.
