STUHINI STAKES NEW GROUND AT RED HILLS SILVER PROPERTY, NEVADA

Stuhini Exploration Ltd. has expanded its landholdings at its Nevada Red Hills project through additional claim staking by the company. The size of the land position has increased from 557.8 acres to (225.7 hectares) to 2,396.7 acres to (969.9 hectares).

The new claims were staked to cover areas where fieldwork identified the formation of jasperoids along structures, recrystallized limestones, localized calc-silicate alteration, hematite staining and calcite veining. Samples of altered bedrock were collected for analysis and will be used with other data sets to identify potential drill targets. Upon exercise of the Red Hills option agreement, the project vendors will be entitled to a 2.5-per-cent gross returns royalty on the newly staked grounds, subject to Stuhini's right to purchase 1.5 per cent of the royalty for $1.5-million (U.S.) (see news release dated Oct. 28, 2024, for more details on the royalty).

Stuhini president and chief executive officer Dave O'Brien commented: "Based on a site visit and a review of the data on the Red Hills project, it was clear that additional ground needed to be staked to cover the larger alteration footprint of the target. Both recent and historical fieldwork programs have highlighted this new ground as needing further investigation. We are confident in the untapped potential of this project and believe that our comprehensive efforts will lead to compelling exploration targets."

Red Hills project

Red Hills project is a polymetallic, carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) target located approximately 68 kilometres northeast of Ely, Nev., on the southwestern flanks of the Kern Mountains in the central portion of the Red Hills in White Pine county. The project is located in a favourable structural and lithostratigraphic setting. Access to the property from Ely is approximately 137 kilometres (km) by paved and county-maintained roads.

From 1908 to 1918, the property had limited historic production. There has been limited drilling on the property, with the best historic result being 17 metres (m) of 129.7 grams/tonne (g/t) Ag (silver), 0.15 g/t Au (gold), 2.42 per cent Pb (lead), 0.92 per cent Zn (zinc), including 12 m of 179.2 g/t Ag, 0.20 g/t Au, 3.29 per cent Pb and 1.18 per cent Zn.
