Announces Exploration Update, Completion of Geophysical Programs and Plans to Drill Targets at Lewis Gold-Silver Project In Nevada and Stock Options Granted(via Thenewswire.ca)\n\n \n\n\n \n \nVancouver, BC / June 21 2016 / TheNewswire - Battle Mountain Gold Inc. (the \"Company\") (TSX-V: BMG) is pleased to announce recent exploration activities and plans for future work in the Lewis gold-silver property, which lies near the town of Battle Mountain in Nevada. \n\n\n \nHighlights: \n\n\n \n\n\n-Plans to commence a twelve-hole, diamond-core drill program (4500 m) over the Virgin, Buena Vista and Meagher target zones in August.\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n-Recently completed helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric survey and ground-based gravity survey over the Lewis claim group and surrounding areas. Data and image processing is underway with interpretive results to be released around the end of June. \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n-Three geologists and one geological data manager employed out of Reno and Elko, Nevada. \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n-Geological mapping (1:2,000-scale) and geochemical rock-sampling underway in the northeastern part of the project area.\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n-Completion of re-logging of drill-core collected from the Virgin zone by Madison Minerals Inc. during 2003 - 2008. Plans to continue re-logging of Madison reverse-circulation drill-chips with the aim of better understanding the 3D controls to gold-silver mineralization. \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n-project area to better delineate the surface expression of gold-silver-bearing fault zones and potential drill targets at depth.\n\n\n\n \n \nFurther Information:\n\n\n \nThe Company has hired three contract geologists to progress mapping and drilling activities. A ground-based gravity survey and helicopter-borne magnetic / radiometric survey were completed over the claim area in late May - early June. The data from these surveys are now being processed and integrated with 3D geology; results are expected to be released by the end of June. The Company has resumed re-logging of drill-core previously collected by Madison Minerals Inc. from 2003 to 2008 in the Virgin zone and geological surface mapping in northeastern part of project area (Figure 1). Plans are for the multi-element, geochemical soil-grid sampling of the southwestern portion of the claim area to further delinea...
