(TSXV: AE) (\"\n \n American Eagle\n \n \" or the \"\n \n Company\n \n \") is pleased to announce that its drilling program located at its flagship Golden Gate property, within the Cortez Trend and adjacent to Barrick's Goldrush mine, will begin soon. Drill pad construction is in progress, and the Company will commence its 3,000-metre drill campaign shortly. The program's objective is to intercept lower plate rocks, allowing the Company to vector towards potential gold deposits within a similar geologic environment as Barrick's\n \n Cortez Hills\n \n and Goldrush deposits.  VP of Exploration Mark Bradley designed this drill campaign. While previously with Barrick, he was credited with discovering Barrick's Goldrush Mine, which hosts 15 million ounces and is slated to go into production before the end of this year.\n \n \n \n \n Watch interview with CEO\n \n Anthony Moreau\n \n discussing drill program\n \n \n \n \n \"We are excited to begin drilling at our Golden Gate Property, which American Eagle consolidated, and forms the entire southern extension of Barrick's Cortez facility. Our preceding exploration work has given our team confidence in our targeting within one of the few untested land packages in this region,\" said American Eagle CEO\n \n Anthony Moreau\n \n .\n \n \n \n Highlights:\n \n \n \n \n Drilling will be focused at the Northern Cortez and Southern Cortez targets, located in the footwall of the Cortez Fault zone, ~10km southeast of Barrick's\n \n Cortez Hills\n \n mine and ~5km southwest of Barrick's Goldrush mine.\n \n Click here to see regional aerial photos\n \n .\n \n \n \n \n The program aims to intercept lower plate rocks and identify deep alteration and mineralization analogous to\n \n Barrick Gold's\n \n Goldrush, Fourile, and\n \n Cortez Hills\n \n projects ...
