(TSX-V: ANZ, OTC: TARSF) (“Alianza” or the “Company”) reports that the Company has planned a 2019 exploration program for the Tim Property in southern Yukon Territory. Exploration is targeting high-grade silver-lead-zinc Carbonate Replacement Mineralization (CRM) similar in style to that found at Coeur Mining’s Silvertip Mine, located 12 km to the south. Alianza is planning detailed mapping, soils and reopening trenches dating back to 1988. Additionally, Alianza is a successful applicant for a YMEP (Yukon Mining Exploration Program) grant for the Tim project. Under the YMEP Target Evaluation program, the Yukon government provides successful applicants funding to support mineral exploration activities for 50% of eligible expenditures to a maximum of $40,000. “We appreciate the support of the YMEP program from the Yukon government,” stated Jason Weber, P.Geo., President and CEO. “Interest in the Silvertip region has increased recently and Tim is one of the significant silver targets in the area.” Alianza Plans Exploration Program for Tim High-Grade Silver-Lead-Zinc Property, Yukon - YouTubeTap to unmuteAlianza Plans Exploration Program for Tim High-Grade Silver-Lead-Zinc Property, YukonStockPulseStockPulse5.79K subscribersWatch on Tim Property – History In 2013, Alianza’s predecessor, Tarsis Resources completed a focused work program to re-evaluate a historical zone of silver-lead rich Carbonate Replacement Mineralization (CRM) originally exposed by mechanized trenching in 1988. Historical chip sampling across the zone returned 352 g/t silver and 9.12% lead across 4.00 metres. In addition to this exposure, similar mineralization was also reported in adjacent trenches 180 and 250 metres on either side of the central trench. This zone has never been tested with drilling. Tarsis’ field crew relocated the central historical trench (T-3) in the 2013 program and exposed the main mineralized showing with the use of hand tools. A total of 6.4 m of footwall alteration and CRM were exposed at the base of the trench. Three series of sawn channel samples were taken across the exposure at approximately 1 m spacing be...
