Viscount Mining (TSX VENTURE:VML)(OTCQB:VLMGF) (“Viscount” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its Phase 2 twin drilling program has commenced at Silver Cliff, Colorado, using a coring rig operated by BDW International Drilling.
Geologist Harald Hoegberg has been engaged for on-site supervision of the drill program to ensure compliance with QA/QC protocol adopted in consultation with our Qualified Person (QP) Dallas Davis. Dr. Gilles Arseneau of “Arseneau Consulting Services” is providing overall supervision and has chosen 10 of the Kate Silver Deposit historical drill holes to be twinned.
Results will assess upside potential and contribute to the verification of historical resources at the nearly flat-lying Kate Silver Deposit which, at less than 70 feet (21 metres) depth and up to 88 feet (27 metres) apparent true thickness, would have open pit mining potential. The 2017 holes will be drilled to an average depth of about 328 feet (100 metres) versus an average of 197 feet (60 metres) for historic drilling at Kate.
Dr. Howard Lahti, VP Exploration, stated:
“I am extremely optimistic that this 2nd phase of drilling will not only advance confidence in the historical silver mineralization reported for the Kate Deposit, but also demonstrate that there is considerable resource potential at depth.”
