Black Mammoth Metals (TSX-V:BMM) has received approval to drill test priority targets at its wholly owned Amador Silver Project in Nevada.
The company plans to test a high-chargeability and high-resistivity anomaly encompassing a ‘high-grade’ silver shear zone that extends for 1.22km along the range front.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has approved up to six drill sites at Amador, with multiple boreholes permitted at each location.
The Amador Silver Project comprises 78 unpatented lode claims covering approximately 631 hectares on the west side of the Toiyabe Range, situated 7.3km north of the historical silver mining town of Austin in Lander County.
Silver mineralisation at the project is hosted in a quartz vein shear, which appears to have developed along a contact zone between Devonian sediments and plutonic intrusive rocks.
Black Mammoth also holds a 100% interest in the Blanco Creek Gold property in Idaho’s Elk Creek Mining District, which hosts three historical underground mines along 3,550m of strike on the north-east trending regional Blanco Shear Zone.
