Silver Range Options Cabin Lake To Rover Metals

Silver Range Resources (TSX-V:SNG) (“Silver Range”) has signed a binding Letter of Intent to option its Cabin Lake property in the Northwest Territories to Rover Metals (“Rover”) .
The Cabin Lake property is located 110 kilometres northwest of Yellowknife and 38 kilometres north of Behchoko in the Tlicho Traditional Territory, central Northwest Territories. The property hosts high-grade gold in iron formation within Archean metasedimentary rocks.

Historic work by Cominco, Freeport McMoRan Gold Company, and Aber Resources centred on a steeply east-plunging package of folded sulphidized iron formation containing pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite. Three historic resources are reported on the property in the NWT Minerals Database (NORMIN 085OSW0001).
On the south limb of the fold, Aber Resources  reported a resource of 100,000 tons at 0.3 ounces per ton gold in their annual report while on the north limb of the fold, Energy Mines and Resource Canada Mineral Bulletin MR223 records a mineral inventory of 43,900 tonnes at 4.39 grams per tonne gold in the Bugow Zone and 18,100 tonnes grading 7.89 grams per tonne gold in the Andrew North Zone.
