SILVER RANGE PROVIDES RESULTS FROM CAMBRIDGE & SNIPER PROPERTIES
Silver Range Resources Ltd. has released exploration results from short exploration programs conducted at the
Cambridge property in Lyon county and the Sniper property in Esmeralda county, Nevada.
Cambridge project
Reconnaissance underground investigations determined that exposed stopes in the area of more
recent excavator trenching were partially backfilled by spoil during excavation. It appears that
the upper portions of the mine might be accessible with limited underground rehabilitation. In
addition, mineralization was discovered in a subordinate footwall vein splay, oblique to the main
Cambridge Vein. Grab samples from a 15-centimetre exposure of this vein returned 7.61 grams per tonne Au (gold) and 52.1
g/t Au.
The Cambridge project is located 33 kilometres south of Yerington in Lyon county, Nevada. It is a joint
venture between Silver Range and Auburn Gold Mining LLC. Gold was first discovered in the
area in the 1860s and intermittent mining at the Cambridge mine is reported between 1878 and
1942. The property is underlain by Cretaceous quartz monzonite with local thin tertiary volcanic
cover rocks. The quartz monzonite is cut by north-trending, steeply dipping faults or shears
hosting mesothermal gold mineralization in quartz veins. Mineralization has been traced to a depth
137 metres (450 feet) in workings at the Cambridge mine. The veins contain coarse-grained,
ribbon-banded white quartz together with visible gold, pyrite, galena, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite,
lesser tetrahedrite and amorphous black sulphides in disseminations and clots. Grab and chip
samples across the property have returned analyses to 93.8 g/t Au and trench samples have
returned up to 3.2 m at 14.65 g/t Au. Silver from trace to 274 g/t Ag is associated with the gold
mineralization. There are three known gold zones on the property the Cambridge mine, Price lode and North trends which have an aggregate strike length of approximately 2.7 kilometres.
A short video presentation and project brochure describing the Cambridge property may be found
on the Silver Range website.
Sniper property
At the Sniper property, a short Packsack diamond drill hole in the north wall of a small pit returned
2.30 m at 2.10 g/t Au and 55.3 g/t Ag from surface, with mineralization open at depth.
The Sniper property is located on the north flank of Gold Mountain in Esmeralda county. Ribbon-
banded quartz veins carrying pyrite, galena, tetrahedrite and secondary chrysocolla, and wulfenite
are present in the carapace of a Jurassic intrusion, immediately below the contact with overlying
Precambrian Wyman formation metasediments. The sulphide mineralization occurs in clots and
locally amounts to 20 per cnet of the vein material. Gold and silver grades are quite high; in initial
sampling by Silver Range, seven of 14 samples collected returned assays greater than five g/t Au and five
of 14 samples returned assays greater than 20 g/t Au with peak value of 121 g/t Au. Silver assays
ranged from 0.2 to 1,375 g/t Ag with three of 14 samples assaying greater than 100 g/t Ag. The veins
persist up to 30 m on strike, are up to 40 cm wide in outcrop and occur with andesite dikes in
Jurassic Sylvania pluton granodiorite. A chip sample across one of the veins exposed in a
bulldozer pit returned 0.4 m at 46.3 g/t Au. The property appears to have been initially explored
with small adits and shafts prior to the 1980s; between 1978 and 1983, these were partially
covered or obliterated by bulldozer during exploration and high grading. The showing is one of
numerous small mines and prospects in the Tokop mining district which have produced
sporadically or intermittently since 1866.
A short video presentation and project brochure describing the Sniper property may be found on
the Silver Range website.
A total of four rock samples were collected during the work programs. Samples were shipped under
chain of custody to ALS Minerals facilities in Reno, Nev., for sample preparation and analysis.
At the laboratory, samples were crushed to progressively to less than two millimetres (ALS Code CR-32) and a one-kilogram aliquot was pulverized to 85 per cent passing a 75 mm mesh (Code PUL-32). A 50 g subsample was
then fire assayed with an atomic absorption finish (Code Au-AA26). In addition, induced coupled
plasma analysis for 35 elements was performed on the samples (Code ME-ICP41). Overlimit
silver, lead and zinc analyses were reanalyzed, employing techniques appropriate to samples with
ore grade concentrations (ALS codes Ag-OG46, Pb-OG46 and Zn-OG46).
Technical information in this news release has been approved by Mike Power, MSc, CPG, president and chief executive officer of Silver Range Resources and a qualified person for the purposes of
National Instrument 43-101.
