Reno, Nevada, Oct. 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dakota Territory Resource Corp (OTCQB: DTRC) ("Dakota Territory" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that the Company has substantially increased its land holdings in the Black Hills of South Dakota through the staking of 106 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 2,050 acres, near the historic Tinton placer gold camp. The Company’s Tinton claim group lies approximately 10 miles west of the legendary Homestake Gold Mine, where sizeable paleoplacer and modern placer gold deposits were derived from the iron-formation hosted gold source.

Placer gold was first discovered in the Tinton area in 1876 and the local drainages were worked extensively during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The largest reported gold nuggets found in the Black Hills came from the Tinton Camp, ranging in size up to 22 ounces. No source has yet been located for the modern gold placer deposits.

In the mid 1990’s, Homestake Mining Company undertook an exploration program at Tinton that was based on the deposition models for the paleoplacer and modern placers associated with the Homestake Lode. Preliminary ground work at that time indicated that the most likely source of the gold originated from an area east of the placer workings, over which a district wide ground gravity survey was conducted in an effort to locate iron-formation host rocks under the younger limestone beds that dominate the surface in the Tinton area. Based on the results of the geophysical survey, two deep core holes were subsequently drilled that successfully intercepted rocks interpreted to be comparable with the suite of rocks at the site of the Homestake Mine. Dakota Territory intends to resume the exploration begun by Homestake by building off the substantial work already invested in narrowing the search area.

The Tinton Property acquisition represents a sizeable addition to the Company's already considerable property portfolio in the Black Hills. Dakota Territory now controls over 6,100 acres of brownfields mineral property in one of America’s richest gold districts. The Company is committed to strategically expanding its dominant land package in the Black Hills as industry interest grows for exploration in safe, low cost jurisdictions in the United States with a history of large-scale gold production.
