VANCOUVER, Sept. 21 /CNW/ - MAX Resource Corp. (TSX.V: MXR; OTCBB: MXROF; Frankfurt: M1D) has completed drilling at its wholly-owned Table Top gold project in Humboldt County, Nevada. Splitting of the drill core is underway and samples will be delivered to Inspectorate Labs, an ISO certified geochemical laboratory, for assay. The Table Top property is located 10 miles west of the town of Winnemucca, just off of Interstate 80.
MAX tested the down dip extension of the mineralized structure intersected in its drill program earlier this summer where, of fourteen holes drilled, ten intersected the mineralized structure and contained significant gold mineralization, including 27.4 meters of 0.467 g/t Au and 3 meters of 1.79 g/t gold. Two holes were drilled during the current program, one (MT-14) to 395 feet and the other (MT-15) to 1,064.5 feet, with the previously identified mineralized structures intersected in both drill holes and a third potentially mineralized zone identified. Dikes and silicified structures were encountered along with visible stibnite crystals, pyrite and proto-graphite. Significant carbon has been identified in these deeper levels along with dark brassy granular pyrite partially replacing bedding; the mineralization and core appear similar to that encountered around the Goldstrike Betze-Post mine operated by Barrick on the Carlin trend. Besides the silicified structures, abundant and adjacent argilically altered zones were encountered along with dolomite alteration distal to argillized and decarbonatized zones. These drill holes have confirmed that the mineralization extends to depth and varies in dip from about 72 degrees to 85 degrees southeast.
Table Top is located along the Kings River Rift, a regional geologic feature that appears to control mineralization in the area and which hosts multiple high-grade vein-related gold systems. Along this trend is AMAX's Sleeper Mine (2.5 MM oz Au produced), located 25 miles to the north, the Goldbanks gold occurrence located 37 miles to the south, and the Sandman gold deposits (a joint venture between Newmont Mining Corporation and Fronteer Development Group Inc.) immediately to the north, where drilling by Newmont continues to highlight the high-grade nature of near-surface gold mineralization.
