[{"type":"text","content":"Roughrider Acquires Claims in Golden Triangle Between the Past-Producing Scottie Gold and Granduc MinesVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 19, 2020 / Roughrider Exploration Limited (\"Roughrider\")(TSXV:REL) is pleased to announce it has staked the 6,358.8 hectare Scottie West Property located in the \"Golden Triangle\", approximately 30 kilometres (km) northwest of Stewart, B.C. and immediately west of the Scottie Gold Mine Property¹. These newly staked claims cover favourable geology, as mapped by the British Columbia Geological Survey, including Jurassic Hazelton volcanic rocks, Jurassic Texas Creek Intrusions and Eocene aged intrusions that are also host to numerous mineral occurrences and past producing mines throughout the Stewart Camp, including Ascot Resources Premier Mine¹ and Scottie Resources Scottie Gold Mine¹ (see Figure 1).Historical work in the immediate area focused principally on the past producing Scottie Gold gold-silver mine¹ to the east and on the Granduc base metals mine¹ to the west of Roughrider's new Scottie West Property. Very little historical work appears to have been undertaken on Roughrider's property primarily as a result of extensive glacial cover which has been rapidly retreating since the majority of the historical work was completed in the region during the late 1980's.An assessment report (#33511) filed by Eilat Resources documents a 2012 helicopter-borne magnetic geophysical survey totaling 332.5 line km at a 150 metre line spacing of which approximately the western 15% of the survey is now located within the current Scottie West Property. A smaller subsequent airborne magnetic and spectral survey was flown in 2016 on behalf of Eilat within the current Scottie Gold Mine Property (Assessment Report #36318). These airborne surveys highlighted several prominent north-northwesterly and southwesterly trending features which appear to have a spatial association with mineral occurrences (see Figure 2).Roughrider's CEO, Adam Travis, comments: \"The 2019 discovery of the Domino Gold Zone along a mineralized east-west structure roughly halfway between the Scottie West Property and the historical Scottie Gold mine, as announced by Scottie Resources Corp. on November 14, 2019 verifies the importance of the magnetic features identified by the previous airborne sur...
