Adams Mine - Adjacent to Ashdown Molybdenum Mine
Golden Phoenix has directed its Technical Services Group to commence a
surface mapping and sampling program covering sections of the 4,400
acres of claims within the Duff claim block, located adjacent to the
Ashdown Mine in the Pine Forest Range of northwestern Nevada.
The purpose of the field survey is to:
•
collect rock chip and geochemical samples for assay
•
identify and evaluate potential gold and molybdenum drill targets
•
map preexisting mine workings and surface disturbance for use in
planning a possible drill campaign for 2010
Wayne Colwell, Senior Manager of the Golden Phoenix Technical Services
Group, and Ed Falk, Exploration Geologist, have been assigned to
conduct the survey.
Golden Phoenix owns the Duff claim block comprised of 211 mineral
claims located along the western flank of the Pine Forest Range, 20 miles
south of Denio, Nevada. The claim block abuts the Ashdown Mine to the
north, and extends south to the border of the Blue Lake Wilderness Study
Area. The geology of the region is primarily tertiary cretaceous granites
with quartz outcroppings. Metals historically mined in the general
region include gold, molybdenum, copper, tungsten and antimony.
The major mine feature of the Duff claims is the Adams Mine which at one
time produced silica. However, there are historical reports that substantial
gold was also extracted from the quartz rock. Gold has also been mined in
the Vicksburg, Ashdown and Cherry Gulch canyons to the north, and
Leonard Canyon to the south of the Duff claims. Upon completion of the
sampling and subsequent assay program, further recommendations for
extent of drilling, including permitting and bonding requirements, are
expected to follow.
