Athena Gold Completes IP/Resistivity Survey at Its Crow Springs Copper-Molybdenum-Gold Porphyry Project in Nevada
Athena Gold Completes IP/Resistivity Survey at Its Crow Springs Copper-Molybdenum-Gold Porphyry Project in Nevada
RENO, NV / ACCESSWIRE / February 15, 2024 / Athena Gold Corporation (OTCQB:AHNR)(CSE:ATHA) ("Athena" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has successfully completed an Induced Polarization/Resistivity (the "Survey") at its 100% owned Crow Springs Project ("Project") located approximately 21 miles northwest of Tonopah, Nevada.
內華達州里諾/ACCESSWIRE/2024年2月15日/雅典娜黃金公司(OTCQB: AHNR)(CSE: ATHA)(“雅典娜” 或 “公司”)欣然宣佈,它已成功完成了位於內華達州託諾帕西北約21英里處的全資控股權克勞斯普林斯項目(“項目”)的誘導極化/電阻率(“調查”)。
The survey was conducted by Zonge International and generated IP/Resistivity data on the two lines specified by Athena as depicted on Figure 3. The IP/Resistivity data was acquired using a dipole-length of 200 meters, in the 9- spread dipole-dipole configuration, providing continuous coverage. The survey was designed to define potential porphyry copper-gold targets to a depth of 1,200 feet or more.
該調查由衆格國際進行,在雅典娜指定的兩條線路上生成了IP/電阻率數據,如圖3所示。IP/電阻率數據是使用 200 米的偶極長度採集的,採用 9 散佈的偶極偶極子配置,提供連續覆蓋。該調查旨在將潛在的斑岩銅金目標定義到1,200英尺或以上的深度。
Prior to the IP/Resistivity survey, a district-scale helicopter airborne magnetics radiometric survey was flown in September 2017 with 100-meter spaced N-S flight lines with 1000-meter tie lines flown E-W (see Figure 3). The survey indicates that a strong untested magnetic anomaly controlled by Athena underlies classic porphyry-associated potassic alteration noted in geologic mapping. The untested magnetic anomaly is suggestive of a possible porphyry copper-gold target of significant size. The IP-Resistivity survey was designed to further refine and delineate Cu-Mo-Au drill targets within or adjacent to the magnetic anomaly.
在進行IP/電阻率調查之前,2017年9月進行了一次區域規模的直升機機載磁輻射測量,北南航線間隔爲100米,接線距離爲100米,接線距離爲1000米(見圖3)。調查表明,由雅典娜控制的未經測試的強烈磁異常是地質測繪中發現的典型斑岩相關鉀變化的基礎。未經測試的磁異常表明,可能存在巨大尺寸的斑岩銅金目標。IP 電阻率調查旨在進一步完善和描繪磁異常內部或附近的銅鉬金鑽探目標。
IP Line 1 Discussion & Analysis
IP Line 1 討論與分析
The IP response on Line 1 was muted but the significant magnetic high denotes a target as noted by gridlines in the cross-section. Combined with geology, strong potassic alteration, and Cu-Mo soil anomalies this area is a high-priority target for future work and an initial drill target has been established.
正如橫截面的網格線所示,1號線的IP響應平淡,但顯著的磁高表示目標是目標。再加上地質學、強烈的鉀蝕變和銅鉬土壤異常,該區域是未來工作的重中之重,初步的鑽探目標已經確定。
IP Line 2 Discussion & Analysis
IP Line 2 討論與分析
The fault located at 2400 cuts off the IP source to the east. Anomalous IP response extends from this station to the west end of the line. The mapped Jurassic porphyry unit is IP anomalous throughout, but strongest between stations 1800 and 2000 directly over Athena's CS-124 claim. This target also underlies strong potassic alteration and copper-molybdenum geochemical anomalies on the surface.
位於 2400 的故障切斷了向東的 IP 源。異常 IP 響應從該站延伸到線路西端。繪製的侏羅紀斑岩單位自始至終都是 IP 異常,但在 1800 號和 2000 號站之間最強,直接超過了雅典娜聲稱的 CS-124。該靶標也是地表強烈的鉀蝕變和銅鉬地球化學異常的基礎。
John Power, Athena's President & CEO commented, "We are pleased with our results from our recent IP survey at Crow Springs as we prepare drill ready targets having significant upside."
雅典娜總裁兼首席執行官約翰·鮑爾評論說:”我們對最近在Crow Springs進行的知識產權調查的結果感到滿意,因爲我們正在準備具有顯著上升空間的鑽探就緒目標。”
"The Crow Springs District has been known as a top tier concealed porphyry target since the early exploration by Homestake Mining and others in the late 1950's through the early 1980's but has received only minimal modern exploration and as such the potential for discovery of copper-molybdenum mineralization is high" added Power.
“自Homestake Mining和其他公司在1950年代末至1980年代初進行早期勘探以來,克勞斯普林斯區一直被稱爲頂級隱蔽斑岩目標,但現代勘探的數量很少,因此發現銅鉬礦化的潛力很大。” 增加了力量。
The Crow Springs Project was internally generated, and Athena staked 10 unpatented claims with the BLM in 2022 and leased claim CS-124 at that time. The CS-124 claim is strategically positioned based on mapped surface potassic alteration, geochemistry, and past drilling. Athena holds claims over one of the two major magnetic highs thought to be related to potassium feldspar-magnetite-Cu-Mo-Au mineral potential. The other magnetic high is controlled by EMX Royalty Corp ("EMX"), which holds 132 claims in the Crow Springs district. Athena staked 19 additional claims in 2023 and the project now comprises 30 unpatented claims.
克勞斯普林斯項目是內部生成的,雅典娜在 2022 年向 BLM 提出了 10 項未獲專利的索賠,當時租賃了索賠 CS-124。CS-124 索賠是根據測繪的地表鉀蝕變、地球化學和過去的鑽探進行戰略定位的。雅典娜對被認爲與鉀長石-磁鐵礦-銅鉬-金礦物潛力有關的兩個主要磁高點之一提出索賠。另一個磁性高點由EMX Royalty Corp(“EMX”)控制,該公司在克勞斯普林斯地區持有132份索賠。雅典娜在2023年又提出了19項索賠,該項目現在包括30項非專利索賠。
Crow Springs History and Location
克勞斯普林斯的歷史和位置
The project is in west central Nevada within the Walker Lane structural belt and is a porphyry Cu- Mo-Au system with the size potential to develop a world class resource. Porphyry-related alteration, geochemistry, magnetics, and past drilling indicate a porphyry system of over 4.5 square miles in surface area.
該項目位於內華達州中西部的沃克巷結構帶內,是一個斑岩銅鉬金系統,具有開發世界級資源的規模潛力。與斑岩相關的變化、地球化學、磁學和過去的鑽探表明,斑岩系統的表面積超過4.5平方英里。
Crow Springs, a porphyry Cu-Mo-Au target in a quartz monzonite porphyry stock is located along the eastern margin of the Tertiary Walker Lane structural province in the southern Royston Hills, northern Esmeralda Co., Nevada.
Crow Springs是石英蒙脫石斑岩種群中的斑岩銅鉬金靶材,位於內華達州埃斯梅拉達公司北部羅伊斯頓山南部的沃克巷第三紀結構省份的東緣。
Porphyry copper mineralization at Crow Springs District is related to strong potassic alteration that is locally developed in a coarse-grained quartz monzonite porphyry and aplitic-textured monzonite. Surface rock geochemistry indicates that moderate to strong Cu-Mo-Au mineralization is exposed at shallow levels and is amenable to reverse circulation drilling to depths of less than 1,500 feet.
克勞斯普林斯區的斑岩銅礦化與強烈的鉀蝕變有關,這種蝕變是局部在粗顆粒石英單柱石斑岩和應用質地的單晶石斑岩中形成的。地表岩石地球化學表明,中度至強度的 Cu-Mo-Au 礦化層暴露在淺層,適合在小於 1,500 英尺的深度進行反循環鑽探。
Wide-spaced core drilling by Homestake in 1963 indicates pervasive propylitic alteration (clay-pyrite-carbonate) that surrounds magnetic high centers overlain by strong and pervasive potassic alteration that have not been drill tested.
Homestake在1963年進行的寬間距岩心鑽探表明,丙基岩蝕變(粘土-黃鐵-碳酸鹽)在磁性高中心周圍普遍存在,上面覆蓋着尚未經過鑽探測試的強烈而普遍的鉀蝕變。
In addition, fifteen miles east-northeast of Crow Springs, lies the Hall Molybdenum Mine, which formerly produced 53 million pounds of Mo. It is a porphyry Mo-Cu deposit hosted in 69 million years old quartz monzonite that has been intruded by a granite porphyry.
此外,十五 霍爾鉬礦位於克勞斯普林斯東北偏東北數英里處,該礦以前生產了5300萬磅的鉬礦。它是一個斑岩鉬銅礦牀,位於6,900萬年前的石英二長巖中,已被花崗岩斑岩侵入。
Allegiant Gold's Eastside project, which hosts a large and open resource of 1.4 million ounces of gold with excellent potential for expansion of that resource lies within 3 miles to the west.
Allegiant Gold的東區項目位於向西不到3英里處,該項目擁有140萬盎司的大量開放黃金資源,具有極大的擴張潛力。

Cautionary Statement to U.S. Investors
致美國投資者的警示聲明
This press release references NI 43-101, which differs from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects.
本新聞稿引用了NI 43-101,這與美國證券法的要求不同。NI 43-101是由加拿大證券管理局制定的一項規則,它爲發行人公開披露有關礦業項目的科學和技術信息制定了標準。
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") permits mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can legally extract or produce. Pursuant to SEC Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, a "final" or "bankable" feasibility study is required to report reserves. Currently Athena has not delineated "reserves" on any of its properties. Athena cannot be certain that any deposits at its properties will ever be confirmed or converted into SEC Industry Guide 7 or any successor rule or regulation compliant "reserves". Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all the historic Buster Mine or Western Slope gold zones will ever be confirmed or converted into reserves or that it can be economically or legally extracted.
美國證券交易委員會(“SEC”)允許礦業公司在向美國證券交易委員會提交的文件中僅披露公司可以合法開採或生產的礦牀。根據經修訂的1933年《美國證券法》下的美國證券交易委員會行業指南7,報告儲備金需要進行 “最終” 或 “銀行可貸款” 的可行性研究。目前,雅典娜尚未劃定其任何房產的 “儲備”。雅典娜無法確定其物業中的任何存款是否會被確認或轉換爲美國證券交易委員會行業指南7或任何符合後續規則或法規的 “儲備金”。提醒投資者不要假設歷史悠久的巴斯特礦或西坡金礦區的任何部分或全部都將被確認或轉換爲儲量,也不要假設可以經濟或合法地開採這些金區。
The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These amendments became effective February 25, 2019, with compliance required for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021, and historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7, which was rescinded from and after such date and replaced with disclosure requirements known as S-K 1300.
美國證券交易委員會通過了其披露規則修正案,以更新根據經修訂的1934年《美國證券交易法》向美國證券交易委員會註冊證券的發行人的礦產披露要求。這些修正案於2019年2月25日生效,要求從2021年1月1日或之後開始的第一個財政年度遵守規定,礦業註冊人的歷史財產披露要求已包含在美國證券交易委員會行業指南7中,該指南自該日起及之後被撤銷,取而代之的是名爲S-K 13000的披露要求。
