LAS VEGAS, April 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Rimrock Gold
Corp. (OTCQB: RMRK) (the "Company"), is pleased to announce that
its contractor Zonge Engineering has completed a new Controlled
Source Audio Magnetotelluric ("CSAMT") geophysical resistivity
survey on the Company's wholly-owned Rimrock gold-silver project in
Elko County, Nevada. The Rimrock
property is strategically located in a highly-mineralized
epithermal gold-silver district, 7 Km northwest of Rodeo Creek
Gold's Hollister gold-silver mine, and 16 Km southeast of Newmont's
high-grade Midas gold-silver mine. CSAMT surveys have previously
been very successful in delineating lithological boundaries and
major fault zones in the region, including at the Hollister
mine.
Zonge Engineering completed a 4-line survey covering 10.9 line
Km east-west across the project property, spaced 250 to 400 meters
apart, encompassing numerous geological targets previously
identified by the Company's technical team. The Company is
presently interpreting the data with the help of Wright Geophysics.
The final interpretations will be used to help select new
exploration drilling targets at Rimrock.
Preliminary analysis of the raw CSAMT data appears to provide an
excellent basis for defining and interpreting potentially
mineralized structures at Rimrock. Some of these structural zones
appear to be much wider than previously thought, including the
previously identified "Dilation" Midas-style gold-silver target.
The CSAMT survey also appears to have better defined the
lithological boundary between the older Paleozoic basement rocks
and the overlying volcanic rocks present at the surface, along with
the geometry of faulting in the property area.
The Paleozoic rocks at Rimrock have been domally uplifted to the
surface, immediately west of the property boundary, with Vinini
Formation sedimentary rocks present. As a result, the mineralized
layer with Carlin-style gold potential could be much closer to the
surface than at Hollister or at Midas. Fault feeders for gold are
critical in defining where both Midas- and Carlin-style gold
mineralized bodies lie, and CSAMT has been proven as an excellent,
cost-effective technique to identify fault feeders in the region.
An updated evaluation of the northwest extension of the
Carlin trend has just been
completed, and the Rimrock property is interpreted to lie directly
in the heart of this projection of the prolific gold-bearing
trend.
Rimrock Gold is a diversified
mineral exploration company focused on identifying, acquiring,
advancing, and drilling high-grade gold-silver exploration projects
in Nevada, and lithium exploration
projects in Quebec. The company
has a very capable management team, and is led by an experienced
and successful board. The Company's main exploration assets
comprise a 100% interest in the Rimrock, West Silver Cloud, and
Pony Spur gold-silver projects in Nevada. In addition, the company owns the
Abigail, Lac Kame and EM-1 lithium projects in the James Bay region of Quebec, Canada totaling 11,360 hectares. For
