High-grade silver vein intercepted

Middlecoff Silver Vein extended to South! 

Alianza Minerals reports final results from the Phase One diamond drilling program at the Company’s wholly owned Haldane Silver Project located in the historic Keno Hill Mining District of Yukon Territory. Holes HLD20-20 and HLD20-21 targeted the Middlecoff Vein. HLD20-21 intersected silver mineralization including a core length of 0.89 m averaging 342 g/t silver, 2.35% lead and 1.20% zinc (476 g/t silver-equivalent). 

Alianza Minerals said in their highlights of the results from Haldane Silver Project, Keno Hill District, Yukon, 1: Middlecoff Silver Vein extended to South, 2: Additional drilling planned to south and at depth for Middlecoff & 3: Phase Two Spring Drill Program to include West Fault and Middlecoff Targets.

"The Middlecoff drilling has shown that the structure and mineralization is continuous to the south,” stated Jason Weber, P Geo President and CEO of Alianza. 

“As we learn more at the Middlecoff, it is apparent that the host structure and vein system is productive, and we will continue to explore to the south and at depth for thick, high-grade silver intercepts as we have now seen at West Fault." 

The 2020 program at Middlecoff was designed to follow up a 2019 intersection of 455 g/t silver over 1 metre. HLD20-21 tested the Middlecoff vein 30 m south of the 2019 holes and intersected heavily oxidized and broken fault-vein material with fragments of sulphide vein. 

The intersection appears to be bounded on either side by a quartz breccia which may be acting to constrain the vein in this area. HLD20-21 was drilled from the same pad as HLD20-20, which was terminated at 59 metres prior to the target depth due to excessive deviation. Both holes intersected narrow silver-bearing veins in the footwall of the Middlecoff mineralization. 

Planning for the Phase Two program is underway. Drilling will focus on the West Fault (8.72 m averaging 311 g/t silver, 0.89% lead, 1.13% zinc – see release dated January 28, 2021) and Middlecoff targets. Management expects the Phase Two program to commence in late April, weather permitting. Details of the program will be released once collar locations and depths are finalized.
