VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 2, 2020 /CNW/ - Sentinel Resources Corp. (CSE: SNL) (US OTC PINK: SNLRF) ("Sentinel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into an option agreement with RebelEX Resources Corp., to acquire up to a 100% interest in the historic Waterloo silver-gold property, located near Vernon, British Columbia.
President and CEO, Rob Gamley commented, "I am pleased to announce the addition of the Waterloo silver-gold property to Sentinel's BC exploration project portfolio. The Waterloo project, which includes the historic Waterloo Mine, has clearly shown the potential to host high-grade silver and gold mineralization. Historic work on the project such as geological mapping and prospecting have produced compelling results of high-grade silver and gold - metals which have been mined in the region for over 100 years."
Waterloo highlights:
- Road accessible, 3,130 hectare project close to developed infrastructure
- High-grade silver and gold veins exposed over an area of approximately 4 .0 by 0.7 kilometers
- Grab samples from historic workings returned assays of 2,790 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Waterloo) and 45.70 g/t gold (Au showing)
- The property has not been systematically drill tested and numerous untested targets are defined
Waterloo Property
The Waterloo Property consists of 3,130 hectares located in the historic Lightning Peak silver and gold camp in the Vernon Mining District. The property is host to numerous high-grade silver and gold showings exposed over an area of 4.0 by 0.7 kilometers. Central to the property is the historic Waterloo Mine that has seen sporadic production of high-grade silver since 1903, resulting in numerous shipments of ore to the Trail, BC smelter in 1954, 1967 and 1983. The Waterloo Mine is centered east-west striking shear zone, host to structurally controlled high-grade silver, lead and zinc mineralization (Waterloo structure). This zone is reportedly mineralized along its mined length (approximately 550 meters in the #4 adit) including numerous higher grade sections from vertically oriented ore shoots. Based on geophysical and geochemical surveys, previous operators have interpreted the Waterloo structure to extend below thick cover to the east, with a potential strike length of up to two kilometers. The structure has never been systematically drill tested over its proposed length or at depth.
Gold dominant showings (e.g., the Au showing located 550 meters northeast of the Waterloo Mine) are hosted in north-south trending quartz - sulphide veins with associated iron carbonate alteration. The Forge area, 590 meters east of the Waterloo mine and 850 meters south of the Au showing, marks the projected intersection of the east-west trending Waterloo structure and the north-south trending structures of the Au showing. These zones of structural intersections remain largely untested and represent priority targets for follow-up.

All results stated above were previously reported by former project option holder, Tower Resources Ltd. Samples were reportedly collected from outcrops, trenches, and dump piles located near old workings. Sentinel cautions readers that grab samples are selective by nature and the resulting assays from the samples may not be representative of all the mineralization on the property.
Project maps showing the locations of the main target areas are found on the company's website (www.sentinelexp.com).
