Vancouver, BC TheNewswire - March 10, 2021 - Alianza Minerals Ltd. ( TSXV:ANZ ) ( OTC:TARSF ) (" Alianza" or the "Company" ) is pleased to report the results of the surface exploration program at the Twin Canyon Gold Project in southwestern Colorado.  The Twin Canyon Gold Project hosts disseminated gold mineralization in sandstone and was the site of a small mining operation dating back to the 1950s.

 

  The current program successfully expanded the size of the gold in soil anomaly footprint to over 3,000 metres along the prospective Junction Creek Sandstone.  The anomalous values range from 10 ppb – 460 ppb gold.  Limited sampling of both the stratigraphically lower Entrada, and stratigraphically higher Dakota, sandstones returned weakly anomalous gold values opening up two new prospective units with potential to host gold mineralization. In light of the successful expansion of the soil geochemical anomalies, Alianza has commenced permitting an initial drill program to test the extent of gold mineralization in the Junction Creek Sandstone and other targets that may be identified.  

 

  An underground structural mapping and sampling program was also completed and revealed that two types of black bitumen veins and fracture fills along with resistant brown coloured shears are associated with gold mineralization. Gold-bearing veins, fracture fills and shears dominantly strike north-east and dip to the south east. This orientation is approximately orthogonal to the axis of an anticline centred over Twin Canyon.  These types of   mineralized veins returned 1.15 – 5.66 g/t gold from grab samples,   while the immediate wall rock surrounding them consisting of disseminated bitumen-spotted sandstone and hard brown concretions also returned highly anomalous values ranging from 0.52 – 6.28 g/t gold. A sample of white, resistant deformation bands and wall rock with a north-west strike parallel to the strike of the anticline returned 1.45 g/t gold.  

 

  "We are excited by the results of our sampling programs at Twin Canyon," stated Jason Weber, P.Geo., President and CEO of Alianza. "We have now demonstrated a large anomalous gold footprint over 3,000 metres in length with multiple prospective altered host stratigraphic horizons. A key component of the program was gaining an understanding of structural controls for gold mineralization, which we have achieved along with returning numerous multi-gram-per-tonne gold analyses.  This knowledge will be utilized in designing and re   fining drill targets at Twin Canyon and will be integral to finding a partner to advance the project through drilling."  

 

 

 

  Alianza launched the 2020 fall program to follow up the successful first field program at Twin Canyon. Highlights of that work included expansion of the property to over four square kilometres, definition of a large gold in soil anomaly ranging from 20 – 460 ppb gold and measuring over 1,900 metres long by 100 metres wide, and the discovery of new areas of gold mineralization through limited prospecting. Results included 0.208 g/t gold in a grab sample of bitumen-spotted altered Junction Creek Sandstone.  

 

  Gold mineralization occurs at Twin Canyon in areas where the host sandstone unit is bleached and spotted with bitumen, with small amounts of limonite after pyrite. Optical and microprobe work carried out on mineralized samples indicate a direct gold – bitumen association raising the novel possibility that the mineralizing process at Twin Canyon is related to those associated with petroleum basin development.  A small underground gold mine (the Charlene Mine) operated at Twin Canyon dating back to the mid-1950s. Historical sampling of the underground workings has returned grab samples ranging from 0.1 to 15.77 g/t gold. Twenty-eight historical channel samples 1.5 to 10 metres in length were anomalous in gold, eight of which exceeded 2 g/t gold (including a highlight of 8.1 g/t gold over 3 metres).

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.
