North Springs Resources Corp. announced that it has received initial sampling results from phase one exploration conducted at the Imperial Gold Silver Property, located about 13 miles south of South Peak, Nevada, in the Railroad Springs Mining District. Initial results include gold assays from underground workings and one geochemical target. Geochemical analysis was conducted by ALS Chemex, an independent third-party laboratory in Reno, Nevada. Additional test results for silver content are expected to be received later this week. In the western portion of the Imperial Property, high-grade gold and silver vein targets were sampled at the old Imperial Mine workings to confirm historic results. Several samples were collected over 200 feet in the Upper Adit and over 460 feet in the Lower Adit. In the Upper Adit, five samples were taken across the ceiling perpendicular to the exposed vein from 10 to 210 feet from the portal. Testing confirmed the presence of gold in all samples, ranging from 0.055 to 0.429 oz/ton. In the Lower Adit, six samples were taken from 50 to 510 feet from the portal. Testing confirmed the presence of gold in all samples, ranging from 0.028 to 0.558 oz/ton. In addition, gold results from seventeen surface samples taken from the Resource Target area have been received. Samples were taken of altered and silicified rocks to determine the extent of anomalous gold and associated elements and will be used to identify the extent of a possible drilling target(s). Sampling has identified an open-ended target over 800 feet long at surface. Thirteen (13) out of seventeen samples returned anomalous gold values ranging from 0.11 to 0.62 g/t. The area is largely gravel covered and further exploration will require trenching and/or drilling to properly define the total extent of the surface gold anomaly along the observed and implied target zone. Results from the Resource Target were similarly positive with over 75% of the samples returning anomalous gold values. But this only scratched the surface of the potential of this property at depth and along the open-ended 800 foot target area. The Imperial Property consists of 24 unpatented mineral claims covering approximately 480 acres and includes the historic workings of the high-grade Imperial Mine. Previous exploration has identified four high-priority target areas at the Imperial Property; Imperial Fault Target, Jasperoid Breccia Target, IP Target, and Resource Target. The phase one exploration plan for the Imperial Property outlines a four month $250,000 exploration program that will include geochemical and environmental studies, followed by a reverse-circulation drilling program intended to test previously identified mineralized zones and potentially increase the 50,000 ounce gold resource estimate made by previous operators.
