[{"type":"text","content":"Bayhorse Renews Drilling Silver Project, Kellogg, Idaho, USAVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 12, 2017) - Bayhorse Silver Inc. (TSXV: BHS) (\"Bayhorse\" or the \"Company\") has commenced a new diamond drilling program at its Bridging The Gap Silver Project that lies between the historic, formerly producing, Bunker Hill Mine, and Asarco's formerly producing Page Mine. Dynamic Drilling of Osburn, Idaho is the drill contractor, and West Valley Contracting of Cataldo, Idaho, is providing drill location access and support services. Access roads to the first drill pads on the Crown Point structure have been completed, drill pad access to the Wyoming/Curlew drill pads is underway, and the drill rig has been mobilized.To view an enhanced version, please visit: http://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/5015/29636_a1507771126291_77.jpgThe first drill target is a pair of parallel silver /zinc/lead veins at the historic Crown Point Mine, and approximately 300 feet to the south, the parallel Shea structure. Historic Bunker Hill mining records report a 30 foot mineralized intersection was made in 1936 by an underground drill hole from the 200 foot level at the Crown Point workings into the parallel hanging wall Shea zone that was never followed up.On completion of the Crown Point diamond drill holes, the drill rig will move to the western side of the Project and drill the Wyoming and Curlew Targets. Bayhorse' earlier Bridging The Gap drilling enabled an understanding of the stratigraphy and structural geology and definitively identified the location at depth of the Osburn Fault. Mineralization in the district is related spatially to the Osburn fault and closely parallel structures. Bayhorse CEO Graeme O'Neill comments that \"despite being sandwiched between two past producing mines, due to claim boundary issues between Bunker Hill Mining and ASARCO, and the subsequent transfer of the property to the EPA, the Bridging The Gap mines have remained unavailable for exploration and development for the past 76 years. We are very pleased to be heading our second round of exploration on the Project\". http://www.bayhorsesilver.com/government-gulch-silver-valley/According to the U.S Bureau of Mines, production from the 6 mines on the Bridging the Gap Project, (Blackhawk, Wyoming, Ranger, Crown Point, Silver King and Curlew) for the peri...
