Cortus Metals Inc. announced the completion of a 128 line-kilometer high-resolution ground magnetic survey over the entirety of its Powerline Project. The project consists of 219 recorded unpatented federal lode mining claims (>1,800 hectares) located 8 kilometers northeast of the Spring Valley gold deposit along a southwest extension of the Getchell Trend, a major northeast structural trend of deposits containing 19.4 Moz Au produced and 42.5 Moz Au endowment. Project Highlights: Highly analogous to the Waterton Spring Valley Deposit (4.12 million ounces of gold1), sharing a similar structural trend and lithologies, including Triassic rhyolites, siliciclastics, and carbonates in the Humboldt range. Well-defined correlations between mapped structures, geobotanical anomalies, and magnetic anomalies. Silver and antimony mines on the range formed in a northwest-trending corridor which projects onto the pediment to intersect the main north-northeast fault through the major deposits. These elements are common pathfinders to gold mineralization, often occurring peripheral to a central hydrothermal hot spot in large Nevada gold deposits. Two strong geobotanical anomalies suggest typical epithermal mineralization in Nevada. A soil geochemical survey has been completed over the entire Powerline Project area, and assay results are pending. A property-wide gravimetric survey will determine relative bedrock depths and identify potential horst-type structures beneath the alluvial cover. Initial drilling targets will be further defined by geochemical and gravimetric data. The Powerline Project is available for acquisition, option, or joint venture. Next Steps: The 2021 exploration program is nearing the drill-ready stage, and permitting is in progress. Results are pending for 507 multi-element assays from the recent soil sampling program of 120m sample spacing and 300m line spacing totalling 61.24 line-kilometers. A detailed gravity survey is planned for 2021 to define bedrock-depth and achievable drill targets. The geochemical and gravity results will enhance the understanding of the stratigraphic and structural controls on mineralization and strengthen the drill targets.
