Mammoth Announces Results from Ground Geophysics Survey Indicating
Numerous Targets at Depth Coincident With Surface Mineralization
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan 16, 2014) - Mammoth
Resources Corp. (TSX-VENTURE:MTH) is pleased to report the results
of a pole-dipole induced polarization (IP) and magnetic ground
geophysics survey at its Tenoriba property located in the state of
Chihuahua, Mexico. The magnetic survey has assisted in confirming
the presence of east-west, east northeast and locally northwest
trending structures (faults) which Mammoth geologists based on
their mapping and sampling work has identified as controls for
gold-silver mineralization. The IP survey also assisted in
identifying these same structures with strike lengths of greater
than 100 metres up to as much as 600 metres and in most cases these
remain open beyond these lengths. A few of these structures are
closely associated to artisanal mine workings (e.g. at El Moreno).
These IP axes once more appear to confirm at depth the same
features as were identified by company geologists mapping &
sampling gold-silver mineralization and alteration controls on
surface. Areas of specific interest are identified in Figure 1,
Tenoriba Geophysics Survey Results, Zones A, B and C. Additional
areas of interest are similarly identified on this figure between
and to the north and south of these zones.
Thomas Atkins, President and CEO of Mammoth commented on the
results from the geophysics survey stating: "We initiated the
geophysics survey on approximately half of the large 15 square
kilometre anomalous gold in soil area in which our mapping and
sampling produced numerous attractive gold and silver assay values.
We're very pleased with these results. The geophysics has
illustrated strong correlation at depth with alteration and
mineralized features mapped on surface which are prime drill
targets. Beyond the specific targets identified in the survey,
there is a large 1.2 kilometre long area between the El Moreno and
Masuparia grid that has not yet been surveyed, which may be the
continuity of features observed at El Moreno and Masuparia. We also
have yet to survey the Cerro Colorado area to the west of El
Moreno. The next logical step in the development of the property is
to drill test targets from this survey. Drilling will validate
geophysics as a tool to assist us in identifying mineralized zones,
the nature and extent of mineralization at these targets prior to
additional geophysics being performed to cover the remainder of the
property. We plan to initiate steps to advance this first phase
drill program in the coming weeks. As we embark on this drilling it
is important to remember that Masuparia Gold Corp. in 2008 drilled
blind, targeting only surface features, and yet reported attractive
results in 10 of 15 drill holes."
Mr. Atkins, will be attending the Cambridge House Vancouver
Resource Investment Conference January 19th - 20th occupying booth
no. 1811. Mr. Atkins looks forward to meeting investors and
discussing these results at the conference.
Review of Results from the Geophysics Survey
The geophysical surveys were carried out by Geofisica TMC S.A.
de C.V. of Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico from October 8 through
November 14, 2013. The surveys were performed over three grids,
each grid consisting of north-south oriented lines spaced at 100
metre intervals. Line lengths varied from 1.2 kilometres to 2.5
kilometres often depending on topography and ease of access to
survey. A total of 32.2 linear kilometres were surveyed. Lectures
(reading sites) were taken at every 50 metres along the lines for
the IP survey and the magnetic survey was performed by continuous
GPS lectures. The IP pole-dipole configuration selected for the
survey produces an approximate maximum survey depth of 250 metres.
The target areas covered were El Moreno (3 lines), Masuparia grid
(7 lines) and Los Carneritos (10 lines) (refer to Figure 1,
Tenoriba Geophysics Survey Results).
Mammoth personnel are currently reviewing the interpretation of
the survey results performed by Joel Simard (Geofisica TMC's
contract geophysicist) and his recommendations. It is expected that
targets for drill testing will be selected after this detailed
review and a subsequent surface verification. It is worth noting
that Masuparia Gold Corp., in 2008 drilled 15 diamond drill holes
testing an approximate 1.5 by 1.5 kilometre area in the centre of a
15 square kilometre anomalous gold in soil area. Masuparia reported
results from 10 of the 15 holes drilled, with all 10 holes having
intersections grading greater than 0.5 grams per tonne (gpt) gold,
of which the highest grade intersection was in drill hole TDH-07
grading 45.90 gpt gold over 1.9 metres and of which the thickest
intersection was TDH-14 grading 0.5 gpt gold over 66.0 metres
(refer to press release available on SEDAR, Masuparia Gold Corp.,
June 30, 2008).
Magnetic Survey
The 'total field' and 'reduced to poles' magnetic survey
interpretations exhibit distinct magnetic domains which are
interpreted to be delimited by east northeast and east-west
structures (faults). In addition, the first vertical derivative
confirmed the presence of east-west, east northeast and locally
northwest trending structures, which the company's mapping and
sampling has identified as gold-silver mineralized and alteration
controls (silica, dickite alteration clay). The strongest anomalies
(AM-8, 9, 10 and 11 - refer to Figure 1) are located to the south
of Masuparia and Los Carneritos grid and appear related to the
contact of the monzonite and diorite intrusives. In the northern
part of Los Carneritos the anomalies have wavelengths indicative of
a shallow source and clearly mimic the shape of the mapped
strata-bound chaotic volcanic breccias which to date are the best
host rock for gold-silver mineralization and altered volcanics
(vuggy silica, silica, dickite alteration clay) on the
property.
IP Survey
Similar to the magnetic survey results, east northeast and
northwest and minor northeast IP axes (anomalous chargeability
and/or resistivity survey results) can be clearly interpreted.
These anomalies range from less than 100 metres up to 600 metres in
strike length and in most case remain open along strike. The
orientations of these IP axes are consistent with the gold-silver
mineralized and altered volcanics (vuggy silica, silica, dickite
alteration clay) mapped and sampled by company geologists from
surface and in some case could be lithological in origin. A few of
the IP axes are closely associated to artisanal mine workings (e.g.
El Moreno). These IP axes confirm our surface mapping and sampling
where gold and silver values in excess of 0.3 gpt gold have been
encountered in highly altered volcanic rocks. The chargeability can
be associated to the presence of sulfides and the resistivity to
the degree of silica alteration, both of which may be indicative of
gold-silver, precious metal mineralization. The strongest
chargeability IP axes are located in the southern parts of the
Masuparia and Los Carneritos grids most likely reflective of the
contact with the monzonite-diorite composition intrusive (one of
the possible sources of the gold-silver observed in other areas of
the property), observed in this area.
The next step in the development of the property is to drill
test targets from this survey. Drilling should help validate
observed features from the geophysics survey and assist in
validating the geophysics as a tool to assist in identifying
mineralized zones as well as demonstrating the precious metal
composition of these targets. We plan to initiate steps to advance
this drill program in the coming weeks.
Mammoth would like to report the issuance of 279,000 options
exercisable at $0.05/share to certain insiders of the company under
the terms of the Company's option plan.
