Kingman Applies For Permit To Drill Mohave Gold Project
Vancouver, B.C. (September 22, 2020) Kingman Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V:KGS) (FSE:47A1) (“Kingman” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has submitted a Notice of Intent to Conduct Exploration on the past producing Mohave Project (Phase 1) located in the Music Mountain Mining District in Arizona.
Kingman has proposed five prospecting directional core holes from three pads with associated access on federal surface and mineral, under the management of the Bureau of Land Management - Kingman Field Office (BLM), centered approximately 16.5 miles northwest of Antares, Mohave County, Arizona. The five prospecting core holes are proposed to a depth of 330 feet (100 meters) within a southeast to northwest trend focused on historic exploration data effectively exploring two federal lode claims for metallic resources while minimizing overall surface disturbance.
The Company’s 1st Phase of drilling will encompass:
- Multiple pass ingress and egress (12-foot width) of entirely existing disturbance access road (0.00 acres of estimated disturbance);
- Disturbance for three 70-foot by 30-foot exploration core hole sites (0.14 acres of estimated disturbance);
- Construction of one drilling sump (ten-foot square by four-foot deep) on each core hole pad;
- Directional hole coring of five holes within the claims to determine the quality and quantity of federal reserves within the project area and better understand the underground geologic strata to a depth of 330 feet (100 meters);
- Plugging of the core holes to Arizona State Department of Water Resources specifications; and
- Solidification with cement and reclamation of the sump, core hole site and access road as discussed in detail below.
Coring of the holes by track-mounted coring equipment would account for the majority of work to be completed in the project area and is anticipated to take up to two months to complete. The prospecting program has been designed to maximize data recovery while minimizing overall surface disturbance within the project area with minimal vegetation and topsoil removal anticipated. This, coupled with the existing data from historic exploration would facilitate development of a 3D image of the geologic structure and stratigraphy underlying the project area and estimates of reserve quantity and quality.
“Kingman is extremely pleased with the efforts that have gone into the development of this drill campaign. While the blue-sky potential of this Project is extremely exciting, the Company remains focused on taking the proper steps necessary to validate and verify the size and extent of the resource in this area – bringing maximum confidence and value to its shareholders” stated Sandy MacDougall, Chairman and Director.
