[{"type":"text","content":" Copper-in-soil values up to 1190 ppm SURREY, BC, Oct. 6, 2021 /CNW/ - Sierra Grande Minerals. (the \"Company\" or \"Sierra\") (CSE: SGRO) (OTCQB: SIERF) (FSE: SRR) is pleased to announce that it has received the results for its previously announced soil geochemical programs at its B&C Springs-Mildred prospects (B&CS-M) in west-central Nevada (see Figure 1). The B&C Springs property and the adjacent Mildred claims and Mildred Mine to the southwest are located in the southern Paradise Range, in the Fairplay Mining District, not far east of the Paradise Peak open pit gold mine. Previous exploration at B&C Springs was focused to varying degrees on copper-molybdenum-bearing base and precious metals-bearing skarn and vein occurrences associated with intrusions of the Buzzard Peak stock that were emplaced into stratified rocks, primarily of the Luning formation. At Mildred, the previous focus was more on precious metals. Highlighted Results at B&C Springs-Mildred A total of 544 soil geochemical samples were collected from the B&C Springs-Mildred property (see Figures 2-4 ). The results of the soil geochemical sampling clearly show that the anomalous copper (see Figure 2), molybdenum (figure 3) and silver (see Figure 4) geochemistry at B&C Springs is closely associated with a west-northwesterly trending porphyry dike swarm crossing the northern part of the property. The anomalous zone is extensive, running from beyond the previously drilled Mo-Cu-Ag mineralized zone at B&C Springs on the east, to beyond the western boundary of the claim group, a distance of over 4 km. The anomalous values are of high tenor, with a broad zone, nearly a km in width, with many values exceeding 100 ppm copper, and ranging up to 1200 ppm copper. Elevated Ag, Mo, Au, Hg and Sb are commonly associated with the anomalous copper values, but this expression is most evident in a semi-circular \"halo\" around the northern margins of the greenstone \"cap\" to the B&C Springs Mo-Cu-Ag mineralized zone (see Figures 2-5). Additional claims were staked by Sierra along this trend, increasing the size of the B&C Springs-Mildred package to 4,607 acres. In the vicinity of the Mildred Mine and toward the southwestern part of the property, where there are numerous historical prosp...
