Mr. Jim MacKenzie reports
VISCOUNT ANNOUNCES DRILL CONTRACT AND MOBILIZATION AT CHERRY CREEK NEVADA
Viscount Mining Corp. has begun mobilizing for the 2015 phase 1 drilling program at its flagship Cherry Creek Nevada property, which is currently being managed by Summit Mining Exploration Inc., a wholly owned United States subsidiary of Sumitomo Corp., under the exploration earn-in agreement.
Phase 1 reverse circulation (RC) drilling program
Harris Exploration Drilling & Associates Inc. of Fallon, Nev., has been chosen after a review of several drill company bids and is mobilizing to the project site. The initial reverse circulation (RC) drill program will comprise approximately 10 to 12 holes totalling 10,000 feet (3,050 metres). The maximum planned hole depth is 1,200 feet (365.85 m), but Harris will have extra drill pipe on hand to take depth to 1,500 feet (457.3 m) as indicated by progress and results.
The drill program is being managed by Summit Exploration's executive vice-president, exploration and mineral resources, David Tretbar, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. He is a certified professional geologist (CPG No. 11086) with the American Institute of Professional Geologists and a registered professional geologist in Arizona (No. 48036). Mr. Tretbar is a graduate of the Mackay School of Mines, University of Nevada Reno (MS, geochemistry).
Jim MacKenzie, Viscount president and chief executive officer, stated, "We are very pleased with the progress of the detailed mapping, sampling and selection of the drill targets and look forward to a successful drill campaign."
ALS Labs Ltd. will perform sample analysis at their facility in Elko, Nev. QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) protocols including blanks, standards, duplicates and chain of custody have been established and will be followed in accordance with best industry practices and in compliance with NI 43-101 guidelines.
Property road access improvements
Summit filed two notices of intent (NOI) with the Ely office of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to widen the switchback road western and for the construction of drill pads, with both notices being approved and bonded.
