Viscount Mining Corp. (TSXV:VML) (OTCQB:VLMGF) (“Viscount” or “the Company”), reports that in 2016 Summit Mining Exploration Inc. (Summit) continued an ongoing mineral exploration and evaluation program in the Cherry Creek mining district of northern White Pine County, Nevada as part of their earn-in agreement with Viscount. Rather than explore the previously producing areas of the Cherry Creek property which encompasses just about all of the historical silver, silver gold-base metal and tungsten mines located in the Cherry Creek Mining District, Summit elected to focus their 2016 exploration program on a reverse‐circulation drilling program in the Flint Canyon area which they discovered in 2014‐15 to have anomalous gold in soil and rock chips. The area has no historic mines and had only minimal modern exploration prior to Viscount and Summit.
As quoted in the press release:

Summit’s initially proposed 2016 program was expanded to include: (1) drilling 32 reverse-circulation (RC) holes in the Flint Canyon target area; (2) geologic mapping at a scale of 1:2500 in the area south and west of the Flint Canyon target and in the north end of Silver Canyon, several kilometers to the east; (3) collection of 412 rock‐chip samples for geochemical analysis; and, (4) collection of 1868 soil samples for geochemical analysis in a grid that covers the Flint Canyon target area with extensions in all directions.
