AFR NuVenture Resources Inc. announced that it has commenced a geophysical program at the Silver Bell-St. Lawrence ("SBSL") project (the "Project") near Virginia City, Montana. The program will include magnetic and resistivity/induced polarization (IP) surveys. The purpose of the program is to attempt to identify and define additional sulfide-bearing veins or other mineralization, and establish drill targets. As has been reported earlier, the Project hosts two past producing gold-silver mines, the Silver Bell Mine on the west and the St. Lawrence Mine on the east. Both mines operated in the early 1900s and the St. Lawrence was reactivated and operated in the early 1980s. Historical production records are incomplete but available information suggests that historical production at the St. Lawrence was approximately 0.22 ounces per ton ("opt") gold and 3.8 opt silver. Smelter receipts for small shipments from the St. Lawrence indicate that some ore with much higher grades was shipped. For example, a smelter receipt from October 30, 1964, states that 8.027 tons were received grading 0.76 opt gold and 20.0 opt silver. Historical production at the Silver Bell averaged approximately 0.2 opt gold and 15.1 opt silver. The shafts for each of the former mines are located 3,600 feet apart and the exploration hypothesis is that the two mines shared mineralized systems that may in part be contiguous. A VLF geophysical survey and surface sampling in 2011, and follow-on surface sampling in 2019 support this initial hypothesis and indicate an offset extension of the vein system farther east along strike from the St. Lawrence mine. In November 2019 a total of 2,111.5 feet of core drilling was completed in 12 holes sited east and west along strike from the headframe of the former St. Lawrence mine and results of this program were reported in a NI-43-101 technical report. The holes were designed to test the depth, extent, thickness, and grade of the vein system that was worked previously on at least two levels from an inclined shaft at the headframe. In addition, geologic mapping, and surface sampling of veins, wall rocks, and dumps was completed. This was the first drilling program conducted on SBSL by the Company. Nine (9) vein intercepts were encountered ranging from 0.21 meters in core width to 2.8 meters and an average thickness of 1.17 meters. Average weighted values for the 9 intercepts were 4.94 g/T Au and 65.35 g/T Ag. A 34.4 g/T Au intercept was encountered 40 meters down the dip of the veins from the 150 Level of the old workings demonstrating both the potential for grade and the potential at depth. A 34.4 g/T Au over 0.61 meters (core width) intercept was encountered at the western limit of the 2019 drill pattern and should be tested for the potential of a high-grade ore shoot based on that drill result and recent geologic mapping. An untested mineralized fault zone east of the mine was identified through geologic mapping and is coincident with the strongest VLF geophysical response on the property. This is a high priority drill target. Drilling in 2019 tested only 150 meters of the approximately 1,100 meters of known strike length along the SBSL vein system. Additional geologic mapping, surface sampling and drilling is recommended along the undrilled sections of the veins. Several of the holes, including SL 19-4C and SL 19-12C intercepted additional veins that do not appear to correlate with the two veins in the historical workings, opening the possibility of a multiple-vein system. These vein intercepts also reported strongly anomalous base metal values up to 460 ppm copper, 2060 ppm zinc, and 7400 ppm lead.
