Canada’s Next Great Gold Play Has Arrived

Posted on

Black Tusk Resources’ (CSE: TUSK); (OTC: BTKRF); (FRK: 0NB) Goldsmith Property Offers Investors High Upside Potential in the Near Term

This could be the next fast-moving exploration opportunity.

Thanks to a significant property – with a history of high grade “nuggety” gold mineralization – one up-and-coming gold exploration company could offer investors high upside potential in the coming weeks.

Black Tusk Resources (CSE: TUSK); (OTC: BTKRF); (FRK: 0NB) is on the hunt for the next gold deposit in one of Canada’s most prolific mining jurisdictions.

With a fully funded exploration program…a large property in a prolific mining district…and potential near-term catalysts in place…now is the time for investors to consider adding shares of Black Tusk Resources to their portfolio.

What’s Next: Trenching Program
Complete and Testing Underway

Black Tusk Resources (CSE: TUSK); (OTC: BTKRF); (FRK: 0NB) recently completed a comprehensive trenching program on the Goldsmith Property.

The trenching program was designed to follow up on the historic work completed on the property, where mineralized zones returned significantly elevated gold values from bedrock sampling.

Historic rock samples from the property have revealed high-grade results, including:

This program – which was completed in October – was very successful at exposing mineralized bedrock at four distinct locations on the property. Samples were taken from trenches and rock exposures along an 800-meter corridor where high gold values were returned from historic work.

The Black Tusk exploration crew obtained large volume (30-90 Kg) samples from the 4 areas of trenching for bench test scale metallurgical studies. The bench test study will assist in determining the extent of “nugget effect” of gold in the bedrock as well as determining gold distribution.

Seven samples ranging from 30 to 100 Kg in size were submitted to Met-Solve Laboratories Inc. located in Langley, BC.

The results from these studies will help the company evaluate the gold distribution on the property and will help quantify the level of the nugget effect.

Positive results from these studies will not only help trigger a potential drilling program for Black Tusk Resources (CSE: TUSK); (OTC: BTKRF); (FRK: 0NB), they could also be a catalyst for helping increase the value of the company’s shares.

Black Tusk’s Goldsmith Property is
Located in a Historic Mining Region

Black Tusk Resources’ flagship Goldsmith Property is located in the Kootenays region of British Columbia, in the Slocan Mining District – one of the oldest mining camps in all of British Columbia.

The Slocan Mining District is one of the oldest mining camps in British Columbia. Its history dates back to the 1820s with the discovery of the Bluebell deposit – a large discovery which produced silver, lead and zinc until it was shut down in 1972.

In the early 1900s, the region experienced a “gold rush” as the Slocan Mining Camp became one of the most productive in all of British Columbia…and by 1913, the production of non-ferrous metals in the region exceeded $221 million in today’s dollars.

The Goldsmith Property’s “Nuggety” Gold Vein System Holds the Key to its Potential

Black Tusk Resources (CSE: TUSK); (OTC: BTKRF); (FRK: 0NB) recently expanded its Goldsmith Property land package, bringing its total claim package on the property to 12 claims covering 885.5 hectares.

This property is located approximately 65 kilometers north of the City of Kaslo, British Columbia – and the towns of Nelson, Castlegar, Trail and Revelstoke all lie within 200 kilometers of the property.

But while the location – and the infrastructure support in the region – is important…it’s what lies under the ground that is of the greatest interest to potential investors.

Gold mineralization on the Goldsmith Property appears to be contained within quartz veins and stockworks.

The Goldsmith Property has been shown to exhibit classic orogenic gold model characteristics that are coincident with a “nuggety” gold vein system and close-to-the-surface deposits.

This observation has been noted in historic reports and confirmed by some of the very high gold assays obtained from past sampling programs.

Here’s why that “nuggety” gold vein system is so important:

This mineral deposit type is a major source of the world’s gold production and accounts for approximately one quarter of Canada’s gold output.

North American examples of nuggety gold deposits which have hosted significant gold production include the Grass Valley and Motherlode area of California – with over 10 million ounces produced – and the Bralorne Mine of southern British Columbia, which produced 4 million ounces of gold.
