Northern Miner Article Highlights Comstock Metals' QV Gold Project in the Yukon

An article on the Northern Miner highlighted Comstock Metals’ (TSXV:CSL) QV Gold Project in the Yukon, including drill results from the Preview North target. CEO Dr. David Terry said, “We have extensive experience exploring for this style of gold mineralization and there is certainly a lot of prospective strike extent to test at Preview.” According to the article, Comstock is an early mover in the Yukon, having discovered “visible gold at QV in mid-2012 during prospecting to follow up on a gold-in-soil anomaly, with a grab sample running 16.28 grams gold per tonne.”
As quoted in the article:

Preview has indicated resources of 2.6 million tonnes grading 1.89 grams gold for 158,300 contained oz. gold, and 5.7 million inferred tonnes at 1.48 grams gold for 271,000 contained oz. gold.
The project hosts seven known gold prospects from north to south: the North/Adit, C, B, A, SW, Clearwater A, and Clearwater B targets. Gold mineralization at Preview is interpreted as “structurally-controlled mesothermal lode gold found in quartz veins within, or on, the margins of sheared dioritic-gabbroic sills.”
“We evaluated the property last summer and decided it fit well with our project criteria. Saskatchewan is another terrific mining jurisdiction and you can’t beat the infrastructure,” Terry continues, noting the site is road accessible around 40 km north of La Ronge, Saskatchewan.
“It’s another situation where we have that dual upside of potentially extending known mineralization, and discovering new deposits. The style of gold mineralization at Preview is comparable to that found in prolific Archaean greenstone belts that are receiving a lot of exploration attention in Ontario and Quebec right now,” he adds.
Comstock kick-started its inaugural exploration program at Preview in early March, with a winter drilling program and a horizontal loop electromagnetic survey.
Initial drilling focused on the Preview North target, where previous drilling cut 5.7 metres of 18 grams gold from 10 metres depth in hole 13-163. The company is also testing targets near the Preview SW resource and along the “mineralized corridor that links the two areas.”
Terry explains. “Ground geophysics and the ongoing drill program are important steps in the process of understanding the controls on mineralization, and we’re also investing to improve our understanding of the metallurgy.”
