Eagle Royalties Acquires East Goldfield Royalty in Nevada, Issues Incentive Options - Seite 2
Silver Range acquired the initial property area by staking in 2018 and has since mapped over 75 workings on the Property. The most significant mineralized occurrence is the Tom Keane Mine, located on the southern margin of the structural corridor. Historical reports document development on four levels with approximately 871 m of drifting and cross-cuts and 213 m of shaft, winze and raise development. Small lease production is mentioned but not specified in these reports. A 1935 evaluation report cited assays of 6.1 m @ 4.11 g/t Au (20' grading .12 oz/t) from the 319 foot level and 11.6 m @ 2.88 g/t Au (38' grading .084 oz/t) from the 219 foot level. In 2003, Metallic Gold Ventures Inc. drilled ten holes in the immediate area of the Tom Keane Mine, reporting gold-enriched intersections in 9 holes, with the best intersections being 4.57 m @ 8.23 g/t Au and 44.20 m @ 1.03 g/t Au.
In 2020, Silver Range expanded the claim block from 4 to 69 claims and optioned the property to ATAC Resources. ATAC prospected, sampled and drilled the property in 2021, with best reported surface chip samples returning 4.16 g/t Au over 8 m, including 7.87 g/t Au over 3 m. In a subsequent drill program, ATAC reported a "broad, mineralized system" with gold values in 8 of 13 holes drilled, with best reported intersections of 82.30 m @ 0.31g/t Au including 9.15 m @ 1.03g/t Au. ATAC terminated the option in February 2022, prior to the Goldfield District acquisition by Centerra.
Tim Termuende is a director of both Eagle Royalties and Silver Range and accordingly has abstained from voting on resolutions relating to the transaction.
