Black Mammoth Metals Samples up to 717 g/t Silver with 210 g/t Average at Amador, NV
BMM: TSX-V
The silver mineralization is hosted in a quartz vein shear which appears to have been developed along a contact zone of Devonian sediments (Slaven Chert) with plutonic intrusive. Previous operators have reported 3-to-12-meter drill intervals of significant silver mineralization, which have not been followed up to date. Black Mammoth's sampling program along the exposed quartz shear and from the nearby historic mining dumps consisted of 19 rock chip samples. A multi-element assay package was then used with the objective to confirm historical sample results and to assess the silver potential of the Property. As a result, the 19 rock samples had silver contents that averaged 210.3 g/t (6.76 oz/t), ranging from 1.7 g/t to 717 g/t (23.04 oz/t) (see Table 1 & Figure 1), accompanied by strong trace element contents with As up to 3350 ppm, as well as Sb (484 ppm) and Se (94.1 ppm) with most exposures near the historic mining locations and along the range-front (see Figures 2 & 3).
Based on the results of the new rock samples, estimated thickness and strike-length of the quartz vein shear, the Company is encouraged to continue with further exploration. Since additional silver mineralization is suspected to continue down-dip under cover to the east and can potentially be down dropped along the range-front fault in the west, the Company intends to conduct an induced polarization survey to determine the best locations for a first phase drilling program.

The ALS PREP-31 package was utilized for sample preparation. In this package, each sample is crushed to better than 70%, passing 2mm, then a 250-gram riffle split is then taken. This split is pulverized to a target of 85% passing 75 microns; and a 30-gram portion of this pulverized split is digested by Four Acids. A 41-element suite is run on the sample using the ALS ME-MS 41 multielement package. This method utilizes Aqua regia digestion followed by low detection ICP-MS (Induced Coupled Plasma) finish. Overlimit silver samples were processed using ALS' OG46 Aqua Regia digestion followed by ICP-AES analysis.
