NEVADA — Round two begins at Jessup

Echo Bay Mines (ECO-T) has completed its second round of drilling on the Jessup gold property in northern Nevada’s Churchill Cty.

The Denver-based major completed more than 36 reverse-Circulation holes over 20,000 ft., the deepest of which measured 900 ft. Results are expected in early June.

The first round of drilling, which was completed last year, spanned nearly 7,000 ft. Results yielded several anomalous gold intersections, including 85 ft. of 0.075 oz. gold per ton starting at a depth of 20 ft.

Echo Bay can earn a 51% interest in the 2,200-Acre, 130-Claim property from Oklahoma-based junior Americomm Resources (AREC-O).
