Alianza Minerals Adds Claims to Horsethief Property, NV

Alianza Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:ANZ) (“Alianza” or the “Company”) has acquired new ground, by staking additional BLM lode mining claims at the Company’s Horsethief gold property, located 26 km (16 miles) east of Pioche, NV. The new claims double the size of the property to 525 ha (1299 acres) in size. In conjunction with the staking, a sampling and prospecting program was conducted resulting in the identification of new jasperoid outcrops and stratigraphy prospective for Carlin-style sediment-hosted gold mineralization on the eastern portion of the property.
As quoted in the press release:

Jason Weber, President and CEO of Alianza Minerals commented, “Horsethief remains our highest priority sediment-hosted gold target in Nevada. The additional claims essentially double the property’s size and cover coincident geochemical pathfinder elements and geophysical anomalies that are strong targets for drilling. With a minimal amount of work we will have excellent targets for drill testing in 2017.”
