(TheNewswire)

   

  •  

      - Intersection within a 3.14 metre-wide breccia/fault/vein zone averaging 1,351 g/t silver  

     

      - West Fault target remains open in all directions  

     

      - Drilling at West Fault ongoing with only 150 metres of the 1,100 metre-long   structure having been tested

Alianza Minerals Ltd. ( TSXV:ANZ ) ( OTCQB:TARSF ) (" Alianza" or the "Company" ) is pleased to report the first analytical results from the 2021 drilling campaign at the Company's wholly-owned Haldane high-grade silver property located in the historic Keno Hill Mining District of Yukon Territory. Drilling has focused on the West Fault target where drill hole HLD21-24 intersected siderite-galena-sphalerite vein and breccia mineralization averaging 3,267 gt silver, 5.80% lead and 7.02% zinc (3,720 gt silver-equivalent (2) ) over 2.1 metres (estimated true width of 1.26 metres) . This high-grade mineralization lies within a wider zone of siderite veining and brecciation, fault gouge with lesser galena and sphalerite which averaged 1,351 gt silver, 2.43% lead and 2.91% zinc (1,542 gt AgEq) over 5.24 metres (estimated true width 3.14 metres) . The 8,579 hectare Haldane Property is located in the western portion of the Keno Hill Silver District, 25 kilometres west of Keno City, YT. Exploration at Haldane is targeting extensions of historical high-grade silver production on the property as well as recently defined targets, such as the West Fault, in new areas of the property

 

  "The result in HLD21-24 extends the high grade mineralization from HLD20-19 an additional 80 metres to the southwest and down dip," stated Rob Duncan, VP Exploration for Alianza. "The high-grade nature of this intersection is indicative of the potential of this target and other targets at Haldane. We have only scratched the surface of the 1.1 km long West Fault structure."

      (1)   True width of the vein and breccia mineralization is estimated to be 50-70% of the core length intersection. A value of 60% is used for the purposes of reporting.  

     
  2.  
  3.  

      (2)   Silver-equivalent values are calculated assuming 100% recovery using the formula: ((20 * silver (g/t) / 31.1035) + (1650 * gold (g/t) / 31.1035) + (0.90 * 2204 * lead %/100) + (1.10 * 2204 * zinc %/100)) *(31.1035 / 20). Metal price assumptions are US$20/oz silver, US$1650/oz gold, US$0.90/lb lead and US$1.10/lb zinc.  

     
  4.  
  5.  

      (3)   Core recovery is estimated at 70-75% with the exception of a 0.80 metre section where recovery was zero. A value of zero was assigned to silver, gold, lead and zinc for the section of zero core recovery for the purposes of composite interval calculations.  

     
  6.  

 

 

  The West Fault structure in HLD21-24 was intersected over a 13 metre core length of fractured quartzite, fault gouge and brecciation. Mineralization is concentrated within a 2.1 metre section of massive siderite veining with approximately 10% galena and 10% sphalerite as cross cutting veins and masses. A few metres either side of the vein consists of fault gouge, highly fractured and brecciated quartzite with siderite veinlets with 1-2% sphalerite and trace disseminated galena. Recovery throughout the quoted intervals averages approximately 70-75% with the exception of an 80 centimetre interval above the 2.1 metre high grade section, where recovery was zero.  

 

  Samples from three additional holes targeting the West Fault are in process at the laboratory. Drilling continues at the West Fault and is expected to continue through mid July.  

 

  The West Fault structure is traced for over 650 metres and can be interpreted to extend to 1.1 kilometres in length before merging with the 2.2 kilometre-long Main Zone structure.  Drill testing to date covers only a fraction of the West Fault target and the current program is systematically testing the   structure in approximate 50 metre step-outs along strike and down dip. High grade silver mineralization has now been intersected in two holes that pierce the vein 80 metres apart. The West Fault is one of four high-priority silver-lead-zinc-bearing vein drill targets at Haldane.  

 

  Quality Assurance / Quality Control  

 

  All samples were analyzed by 33 element four acid digestion ICP-MS methods at ALS Canada Ltd. Sample preparation was completed in Whitehorse, Yukon and geochemical analyses were performed in Vancouver, British Columbia. Samples with over limit silver and gold were re-analyzed using a 30-gram fire assay fusion with a gravimetric finish. Over-limit lead and zinc samples were analyzed by four acid digestion and atomic absorption spectrometry. All results have passed the QA/QC screening by the lab Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd, of Vancouver, British Columbia is executing and managing the Haldane Project. Equity utilized a quality control and quality assurance protocol for the drill core sampling, including blank, duplicate, and standard reference samples.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
