[{"type":"text","content":" SURREY, BC, Aug. 31, 2021 /CNW/ - Sierra Grande Minerals. (the \"Company\" or \"Sierra\") (CSE: SGRO) (OTCQB: SIERF) (FSE: F91Q) The company is pleased to announce that it has received the results for its previously announced soil geochemistry programs at its Glitra and Sat prospects in Western Nevada. The Glitra/Sat prospects are located in Pershing County, western Nevada, in the Seven Troughs Range of the Farrell Mining District, which hosts numerous historical and modern–day mineral occurrences. Program Summary A total of 1,805 soil geochemical samples were collected on the Company's four west-central Nevada properties, Glitra, Sat, Betty East, and B&C Springs, located in the northern part of the Walker Lane trend. The aim of the recently completed work at each property was to provide complete soil geochemical coverage via wide-spaced sampling (50 to 100 metres between samples along lines separated by 100 to 200 metres). The lines were oriented to cross known mineralized and/or altered trends at high angles, and preliminary analyses for gold pathfinder elements (e.g., As and Sb) along with base metals (e.g., Cu, Pb, Zn) were obtained through use of a portable XRF (pXRF) instrument while field work was underway. Further details regarding the location, access, infrastructure, previous work and geologic characteristics, along with results of due diligence rock geochemical sampling from the three properties were given in the Company's news release dated April 13, 2021. Highlighted Results At Glitra, a promising +1km north-northeast trending mineralized and altered zone with a pronounced epithermal Au-Ag-As-Hg signature, and ranging in width up to 150 to 200 metres, was identified (see figure 1). Consistently high gold-in-soil results along the NNE trend, including values of 1460, 1400, 987 and 718 ppb gold A total of 467 samples collected, with 58 samples returning values > 100 ppb gold An additional 77 claims staked by Sierra along this NNE trend increasing the size of the Glitra property 5 fold At Sat, strong soil sampling results also appear to outline a north-northeast trending anomalous zone, or zones, with a pronounced Au-Hg-As-Ag signature that most likely follows structurally-controlled epithermal mineralized and altered zones (see figure 2). Highlighted gold-in-soil values along this trend include values of...
