Rex Minerals (RXM) has commenced exploration activities at its Hog Ranch Gold Property in Nevada, USA for the 2022 field season.
The company said RC drilling is underway, starting its first hole at the Krista Project with its program including testing of multiple targets and extensions to earlier discoveries at the Krista, Airport and Bells Projects.
The program is for 4000 metres of drilling for over 15 drill holes spread over the three projects which include testing of multiple targets and extensions to earlier discoveries.
Regional mapping and site visits in late April at Hog Ranch confirmed new prospects and target locations and has interpreted Cottonwood Creek Caldera as a host of a major regional gold trend and multiple target types.
Evidence includes the presence of silica sinter found at multiple locations and often over a broad area.
These observations, coupled with evidence of ancient hot springs, are interpreted to be very positive exploration vectors for epithermal gold occurrences.
Gold has already been located over a large part of Hog Ranch, with a 2.26 million ounce JORC compliant mineral resource defined since the asset was purchased in August 2019.
The planned further soil program is now underway and on-site work is anticipated to be completed for the entire regional survey within a few months, with initial assay results anticipated approximately a month after the completion of the soil sampling program in the field.
RXM shares were down 6.98 per cent, trading at 20 cents at market close.
