European Uranium Files Technical Report for the Mustang Gold Project, Nevada
Vancouver, April 8, 2015 -- European Uranium Resources Ltd. (EUU: TSX-V; TGPN: Frankfurt) (the "Company") has filed a technical report regarding the Mustang gold project, Nevada ("Technical Report") to support the acquisition of the Mustang property as announced on March 2, 2015. The Technical Report was authored by Mr. Warner Gruenwald of Geoquest Consulting Ltd, an independent Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.
The highlights of the Technical Report include:
- The Mustang gold project is a high sulphidation epithermal gold target, located 17 kilometres southeast of the former Paradise Peak gold-silver mine that produced 1.5 million ounces gold;
- Mustang has a geologic setting similar to Paradise Peak, although mineralization at the Paradise Peak property is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the Mustang property;
- Surface rock chip samples from Mustang have assayed from background levels to 29.7 grams per tonne gold (gpt Au) and 5,314 gpt Ag;
- Multi-element geochemical anomalies typical of epithermal gold deposits occur along a multi-kilometre, north-south trending corridor that extends through most of the Mustang project area;
- Two holes drilled on the property by a previous operator gave encouraging results: 9.1 metres of 0.866 gpt Au in one drill hole (from 102.1 to 111.2 metres, including 4.6 metres of 1.565 gpt Au) and 12.2 metres of 1.17 gpt Au (from 54.9 to 67.1 metres, including 7.6 metres of 2.6 gpt Au);
- An initial drill programme of 5,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling at an estimated cost of US$150,000 is recommended to test for extensions of the recognized mineralization and for initial testing of additional targets; and
- In addition to the volcanic-hosted epithermal potential on the property, there is the potential for sediment-hosted ("Carlin-type") gold mineralization in the sediments underlying the volcanic rocks.
The report titled "Technical Report on the Mustang Property, Nye County, Nevada" is dated effective April 3, 2015, is filed on the Company's profile on www.sedar.com.
