Silver Range Resources says partner Rush Gold has mapped hydrothermal system and is preparing for drilling at Skylight project

Silver Range Resources Ltd (TSX-V:SNG, OTC:SLRRF) says its partner Rush Gold Corp has completed a geophysical survey at the Skylight property in Nevada, mapping the deeper reaches of a large low-sulfidation epithermal system.

Rush Gold optioned the Skylight property from Silver Range in 2020 and has applied for listing on the Canadian stock exchange, Silver Range said in a statement.

In November 2022, Rush Gold contracted Aurora Geosciences Ltd to conduct an extremely low-frequency electromagnetic survey at the Skylight property, the company reported.

The data collected was inverted and the inversion mapped a zone of high resistivity east of the silica caps which are the surface expression of the hydrothermal system.

This feature is interpreted to be a zone of silica deposition and alteration at depth, potentially the deeper portion of the hydrothermal system, Silver Range said.

A drill program has been designed to explore the full extent of this system, the company added.

Silver Range is a precious metals prospect generator working in Nevada and Northern Canada. It has assembled a portfolio of 45 properties, of which 13 are currently under option to others.
