About this update from Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc.
[{"type":"text","content":" COEUR D'ALENE, ID / ACCESSWIRE / January 5, 2022 / Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. (OTCQB:NJMC) (\"IDR\", \"Idaho Strategic\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide the latest exploration results from the Company's 2021 drill program at the Golden Chest mine. These recent results come from drill holes GC 21-208 and GC 21-209 in the Klondike area, located north of current underground operations in the Skookum. These latest intercept highlights below are reported in grams of gold per tonne (g/t) and in drilled thickness, as vein orientations have yet to be determined. GC 21-208 20.66 g/t gold over 1.3 meters from 184.8 to 186.1 m 29.64 g/t gold over 2.7 meters from 213.8 to 216.5 m Includes 793 g/t Au (2nd highest grade drill intercept at GC) sample over 0.1m GC 21-209 1.06 g/t gold over 50 meters from 186.0 to 236 m including the following higher-grade intervals: Includes 4.79 g/t gold over 7.3 meters from 190.6 to 197.9 m Includes 8.54 g/t gold over 2.6 meters from 195.3 to197.9 m 10.72 g/t gold over 2.2 meters from 258.3 to 260.5 m Drillhole GC 21-208 is the last hole drilled from the first pad in the Klondike area, whereas GC 21-209 is located on a separate pad approximately 50 meters south of this previous drilling. The high-grade intervals are anchored by widespread sections of low-grade gold mineralization (Figure 1). The high-grade intervals are highlighted by the 793 g/t Au sample over 0.1 m in hole GC 21-208, as shown by the easily visible gold contained in quartz veinlets (Photo 1). In contrast, gold mineralization is more widespread and continuous in drillhole GC 21-209 which exposed 1.06 g/t Au over 50 meters. These areas of widespread gold mineralization are associated with strong silicification and hornfels alteration. The IDR drillers have kept the company-owned core drill turning in the Klondike area through fall and early winter due to these superlative drill results. To date, drillholes completed in the Klondike area are GC 21-203 (273m), GC 21-204 (276m), GC 21-205 (281m), GC 21-206 (lost at 49m), GC 21-207 (271m), GC 21-208 (294m) and GC 21-209 (323m). Thus far, this drilling has delineated a mineralized body with 100 meters of strike and 100 meters of dip with varying thicknesses - and it continues to expand with each additional drill hole.
