[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 27, 2016) - Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. (\"Mineral Mountain\" or the \"Company\") (TSX VENTURE:MMV) is pleased to announce that the Company has identified one of the largest and thickest bodies of structurally thickened \"ledge-type\" iron formation in the Rochford District to date with recognition of the north half of the \"Silver Creek Syncline\" which is located completely within Lawrence County and is on average just 19 km (12 miles) from the Homestake Mine in Lead, South Dakota. This is a very tightly folded synclinal body of iron formation that is more than 3.2 km (2 miles) in strike length and up to 215 meters (700 feet) thick locally. This major syncline is dissected by a large, near vertical shear zone at a nearly parallel to acute angle. The east side of this shear zone has been upthrown and offset in a right lateral sense of movement. Previous explorers had not recognized or identified the large body of shallowly plunging \"hinge zone\" iron formation localized along a very tightly folded syncline.. This newly recognized \"hinge zone\" was the target of the Mineral Mountain recent staking. The west side of the shear zone is part of the downthrown block with iron formation folded by the same very tight syncline. The buried downthrown \"hinge zone\" was recognized in the geologic mapping of former explorers and had been staked by Mineral Mountain in 2012. The Silver Creek Syncline is similar to structural shear zones within iron formation having the same or comparable geometry to the tightly folded synclinal structures hosting the major orebodies. at the Homestake Mine. Mineral Mountain's Rochford property previously covered four high priority gold targets that are situated within two structural corridors that host Homestake \"ledge-type\" gold mineralization associated with banded iron formation well documented by Getty, Noranda, Western Mining and Homestake between 1982 and 1996. The discovery and recognition of this new target adds an additional 5th gold target and a third major structural corridor. The five large-scale gold targets, three along the 5.5 km long Standby-South Standby-Lookout Mine Trend, the fourth along the 1.0 km long Cochrane Trend and now the fifth along the 3 km long Silver Creek Trend, will require a well-planned program initially totaling a mi...
