[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2020 / Makara Mining Corp. (CSE:MAKA)(FSE:MK0)(OTC PINK:MAKAF) (\"Makara\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that drill rigs and other equipment are being assembled for the Company's fully-funded 2000 meter reverse-circulation (\"RC\") drill program on the Rude Creek Gold Project (\"Rude Creek\" or the \"Project\") in the White Gold region of the Yukon, Canada. Arrangements for site preparation and drilling by Midnight Sun Drilling Inc. are underway and an accredited laboratory has been engaged to assay drill samples. The Rude Creek property hosts an orogenic gold occurrence that has strong geological similarities to Newmont's nearby Coffee Creek gold deposit. This year's fieldwork at Rude Creek will focus on the large NE prospect, consisting of a 1,000 m by 1,600 m gold-in-soil anomaly. The RC drill program is expected to begin August 17, 2020 and the team will be setting up temporary camp on the property until they have completed approx. 20 holes that will range in depth between 100-150 meters each. To ensure the program is completed on time a night drilling shift may be added to the program, at the discretion of the drill company. The focus of the drilling program will be to test the northwest trend identified by recent soil sampling. The northern end of this trend was initially drilled in 2019, returning 9.15 m of 1.42 g/t gold and 20 g/t silver (ROY-RC-19-09); however, the rest of the trend remains untested. Jean Pautler, of JP Exploration Services Inc. and/or her associate Jo van Randen will be onsite to direct the drilling program. Geological logging of the RC chips will be done at their facility in Whitehorse. Grant Hendrickson, President and CEO of Makara Mining, and Bart Jaworski, CEO of Makara's JV partner, are working with Jean and Jo to ensure the best drill targets are selected. Jean will be closely inspecting the drill program near the conclusion and will update the Rude Creek NI 43-101 technical report for all work conducted at Rude Creek in 2020. Ms. Pautler is an experienced Yukon-based geologist with extensive experience within the White Gold region and the Dawson Range, including with the Rude Creek project. Regional Development Rude Creek is situated 12 kms southeast of the very large tonnage Casino copper-gold deposit, owned by Western Copper and Gold. This ...
