Keewatin Engineering was recently retained by Brush Creek Mining and Development (NASDAQ) to assist in evaluating a high-grade gold discovery made on a former producer in California’s famed Motherlode district. Brush Creek owns or has interests in a number of former producers in the district, including Brush Creek, Kate Hardy, Carson, Ruby, Dreadnaught and the Rising Sun. President Michael Pickering declined to identify which of the properties returned the high-grade results “for security reasons.”
It should be noted that the assay results are from chip samples of underground workings, as the property has not yet been drilled from underground or from surface by the current operator.
Pickering said a five shoots were tested within a strike length of 125 ft (although the strike length potential is believed to be much higher). The uncut assay results reported by the company include 16.51 oz. gold across an average width of 4 ft., 7.27 oz. across an average width of 4.7 ft., 7.89 oz. across 5 ft., 21.9 oz. across 4 ft., and 17.14 oz. across 5 ft.
The shoots were tested in two levels with a distance of 400 ft. vertical separation and the company plans to test the intervening ground. Michael Pickering said work would include a structural geology study of the vein systems directed by Keewatin Engineering. He also said some drilling would be done at a later date.
Brush Creek recently announced a US$6.43 million private placement of securities through Toronto- based Euro Canadian Securities to European institutional investors.
