MAX files drill permit for Table Top gold project in Nevada
TSX-V Symbol: MXR OTC BB Symbol: MXROF Frankfurt: M1D
MAX has been able to obtain a nearly complete set of geophysical, geological and geochemical data from one of the previous companies that worked on the property. The following is a synopsis of their work:
During the 1980's Gold Fields, Meridian Minerals and
Table Top is located in the Triassic rocks of the Raspberry formation which can be split into two general types: a northwestern belt of sandstone, siltstone, and slate, locally calcareous but devoid of limestone; and a southeastern belt of calcareous sandstone, siltstone and slate with prominent massive limestone beds 5 to 100 feet thick. Bedding in these units trend northeast with steep dips to the southeast.
The mineralization in the Raspberry formation is generally in the form of silicification in veinlets and small pods in the limestone but in a few areas there is massive replacement of the limestone by silica. The silica, where sampled, usually contains gold with values as high as 15.5 g/t. Stibnite or stibnite casts can be found in the silica.
The Table Top area is on trend with AMAX's Sleeper Canyon Mine (2.5 MM oz Au produced), located 25 miles to the north, the recently announced Sandman gold deposit (a joint venture between Newmont Mining Corporation and Fronteer Development Group Inc.) 8 miles to the north, and the Gold Banks gold occurrence to the south. This zone of mineralization is along the Kings River Rift, a regional feature which appears to control mineralization in the area.
Clancy Wendt, VP Exploration states "In preparation for this drill program, MAX has obtained and reviewed aerial photos, geology maps, geochemical assay maps, and geophysics which covers IP, SP, and Magnetics, as well as data from the limited drilling conducted on the property. As a result, we have identified previously unreported structures that support our theory that prior drilling was drilled down the dip of the beds and thus missed the mineralized zone. We feel that the Table Top area is geologically favorable for the discovery of a medium-sized high grade, bonanza style gold deposit in a near surface environment."
